Viktoria Rebensburg (born 4 October 1989) is a German retired World Cup alpine ski racer and the 2010 Olympic gold medalist in the giant slalom.[1] Born in Tegernsee, Bavaria, she has three World Cup season titles, all in giant slalom.

Career

After finishing 28th in the Olympic super-G, she won gold in the giant slalom, her first victory in international competition.[2][3] Her previous best finish was second place at a GS a month earlier, her only World Cup podium.[4]

Eight months later, Rebensberg won her first World Cup race in October 2010, a giant slalom in the season opener at Sölden, Austria. She won two more GS races during the 2011 season and took the giant slalom season title; she finished eighth in the overall standings, won by teammate Maria Riesch. In the 2012 season she won five races – four GS and one super-G – and went on to defend the GS season title.

On 1 September 2020, she announced her retirement from alpine skiing due to unsuccessful comeback after latest injury.[5]
