Annemarie Moser-Proel is recognized as the best female ski racer in history.
She was only 14 in 1967 when she took part in her first World Cup race
- the treacherous downhill at Badgastein, Austria. Moser-Proell came in
dead last crashing three times! It marked the start one of the most amazing
ski careers ever.
In the next twelve years, Annemarie completely dominated her sport as no skier before or after her.
Between January 1971 and March 1980, she won a total of 62 World Cup events
as well as six Overall trophies.
The Austrian also accumulated several gold medals in downhill and combined
from 1972 to 1980 at Olympics and FIS World Championships.
A strong overall skier who fought for victory in all specialties, "La Proell" as she was nicknamed by her French rivals was strongest at downhill.
From 1972 to 1975 - (when she quit for a year to take care of her sick
father)- Annemarie won 19 out of 28 downhills including eleven in-a-row
over two seasons.
Her last victory at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid was also her sweetest.
She had to wait eight years to conquer this Olympic gold medal after finishing
2nd twice in 1972 at Sapporo, Japan, behind Switzerland's Marie-Therese
Nadig.
After Moser-Proell's temporary retirement in 1976, she come back as strong
as before and continued to win.
When Annemarie gave up racing in 1980, she was burned out.
She just wanted to stay at home and run her coffee-shop.
In 1982 she had a daughter, Marion. Her sister Cornelia was also a member
of the Austrian ski team ,but she only won a one race in her career. |
