Talk:Rosi Mittermaier

Olympics 1976
Dear Sir, I would like to cit. German Wikipedia: Because she didn't gain a win in the World Cup before, it was unimaginable that she could win a gold medal in the Downhill Race - that feeling did increase because she did finish on the last place several days before in the World Cup Downhill Race at Badgastein. - In the Slalom Race she was placed 2nd after the first leg (but only 0.11 sec. behind her team-mate Pamela Behr. A third Olympic Gold Medal (in the Giant Slalom) she did miss with a margin of 0.12 sec. behind Kathy Kreiner. I would like to add that she was an Official for female Alpin Ski Races in the FIS, and she is member of the "German Hall of Fame" since 2006. Skiscout (talk) 17:52, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Overall title in the World Cup
She was the first German female racer to become a title in the Overall World Cup; 20 years later, Katja Seizinger could achieve another title. Skiscout (talk) 17:58, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Personal life
There is another sister: Heidi Mittermaier, born on January 28th, 1941, was a ski racer and did compete in the Olympics 1964 and the FIS Alpine Skiing World Championships 1962 and 1966, and she was a four times German Champion. Skiscout (talk) 18:04, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Name
Her name is not "Rosemarie", but "Rosa Katharina", as she states herself in her book "Ski-Zirkus", released after her Olympic victories in 1976. 95.208.170.174 (talk) 09:03, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
