Annemarie Moser-Pröll (born 27 March 1953 in Kleinarl, Salzburg, Austria) is a former champion alpine ski racer. She was the most successful female World Cup racer 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 and first gold medal (in Lake Placid) and won 5 World Cup races.

Career

During her career, she won the overall World Cup title a record six times, including five consecutive (1971–75). 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 ski sport athletes. She won five World Championship titles (3 downhill, 2 combined) and one Olympic gold medal.

The way to her first and only Olympic gold medal was quite long: At the 1972 games in Sapporo, Japan, she was considered the clear favourite for downhill and giant slalom, but in both events she finished second behind Swiss Marie-Theres Nadig. At the end of 1975, when she was still the top racer in female World Cup, she interrupted her skiing career to look after her father who had lung cancer, so she missed the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. After the death of her father in June 1976, she resumed competitive skiing and was right away among the best, with second places in the overall World Cup for two seasons (1977, 1978), before she won the title again, for the sixth time, in 1979. Finally at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, USA, she finished her extraordinary career by winning the downhill gold medal – with her 1972-rival Marie-Theres Nadig again on the podium, as bronze medalist.

A few weeks after having won the Olympic gold medal she retired from competitive skiing and started to run her own cafe, the "Weltcup-Café Annemarie" in Kleinarl, which was decorated with her extensive cup and trophy collection.

She had been married to Herbert Moser since 1974 and her daughter Marion was born in 1982. In December 2003 her first grandchild was born.

2008, eight months after the death of her husband, she retired from the gastronomy business and sold the cafe to local entrepreneurs who keep running it as "Café-Restaurant Olympia“.
