Austrian ski legend Annemarie Moser-Pröll

 

Annemarie Moser-Pröll (born March 27, 1953 in Kleinarl, Salzburg) a former Austrian Alpine skier, was the most successful female skier of the Alpine skiing World Cup during the 1970s.

She celebrated her biggest successes in Downhill, Giant Slalom and Combined races. In 1980, her last year as a competitor, she secured her third Olympic medal (in Lake Placid) and won 5 World Cup titles. During her career, she also won the World Cup six times (including five consecutive years between 1971 and 1975). She has 62 individual World Cup victories, more than any other female athlete and behind only Ingemar Stenmark and Ole Einar Bjørndalen among all winter sport athletes.

In 1980, just after winning the Olympic gold medal she retired from competitive skiing. Since then she has been working in the gastronomy business. Her extensive cup and trophy collection decorates her own cafe, the "Weltcup-Cafe Annemarie" in Kleinarl. She has been married to Herbert Moser since 1974 and her daughter Marion was born in 1982. In December 2003 her first grandchild was born.
