Personal life Mayr was born on 21 December 1997 in Salzburg, Austria.

Career Early years Mayr began learning how to skate in 2006. He began representing Austria internationally as a junior-level single skater in 2012. He competed in singles for five seasons, placing third at the Austrian Junior National Championships in 2014, 2016, and 2017, before opting to transition to pair skating.

2018–19 season: Debut of Dana/Mayr Mayr teamed up with his first pairs partner, American skater Sara Jane Dana, in advance of the 2018–19 season. They competed at two Junior Grand Prix events during their partnership, finishing 12th in Austria and 15th in the Czech Republic, as well as one international junior B event, the 2018 Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they placed fourth. Dana/Mayr won the silver medal in the junior pairs event behind Heidrun Pipal / Erik Pipal at the 2019 Austrian Championships before ultimately dissolving their partnership.

2019–20 season: Debut of Boys-Eddy/Mayr Mayr next partnered with Canadian pairs skater Olivia Boys-Eddy, advancing to the senior level. Boys-Eddy/Mayr competed internationally three times during the 2019–20 season, finishing 8th at the 2019 Volvo Open Cup, 9th at the 2020 Bavarian Open, and 13th at the 2020 Challenge Cup. They placed second at the 2020 Austrian Championships behind Miriam Ziegler / Severin Kiefer, but also chose to end their partnership in early 2020.

2020–21 and 2021–22 season: Partnership with Choinard Mayr teamed up with Canadian skater Chloe Choinard in the spring of 2020. Their partnership was immediately plagued by challenges as Canada went into precautionary lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic the day after their first day of training together. Misfortune continued into 2021 as Choinard tore her meniscus during a training session in preparation for their competitive debut in September, effectively ending their season before it began. He was initially interested in teaming up with Schaller in 2018 when he was first beginning his pairs career, but at the time, Schaller chose to prioritize her future in singles. The skaters would attribute their ease adapting to skating together to their long-standing relationship, having known one another since childhood and trained at the same rink for many years.

The pair went on to compete at the 2025 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, where they finished in sixteenth place. They then closed the season with a fifth-place finish at the 2025 International Challenge Cup. Continuing, the pair competed at the Skate to Milano Olympic qualifying event, aiming to secure an Olympic quota for Austria in pairs for the upcoming Olympic Games. The pair had to place in the top three to secure the quota; failing to do so by placing 9th.

In November, the pair competed at Ice Challenge, as well as Cup of Innsbruck placing 5th and 4th respectively. Subsequently, placing 9th and garnering new season best results at Golden Spin.

Schaller/Mayr won the silver medal at the 2026 Austrian Nationals.

The pair closed their career by winning silver at the Bavarian Open. They announced their retirement on 31 July, 2026.
