He competed in Biathlon World Cup, where he got 131 starts, with 17 finishes in the top 10. In 1994, he won his first and only individual World Cup victory, in a 20 km individual.[2] Leitgeb retired as a biathlete after the 1997–98 season.[3] After his retirement, he worked as a coach for five years. In 2006 he was elected to the International Biathlon Union's Technical Committee. The following year he became race director of the Biathlon World Cup races in Antholz.[1]
