Underdog Rosi Mittermaier Amazing Ski Gold - 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics

Classic highlights from the Innsbruck 1976 Winter Olympic Games as Germany Rosi Mittermaier wins double gold and a silver in the women's skiing events.
Leading up to the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Games, Rosi Mittermaier was not one of the favourites to contest the medals. Although she was a downhill veteran who had competed on the World Cup circuit for ten years, she had never won a major downhill race.
Her luck changed dramatically in Innsbruck. Mittermaier won the downhill by half a second to claim her first gold medal. Three days later she won the slalom event by a third of a second and was suddenly a double Olympic champion!
The giant slalom was contested two days later and Mittermaier had the chance to become the first woman to sweep all three Alpine events. Unfortunately on the final run, Mittermaier made a mistake at one of the lower gates which cost her valuable time. Even so, she still managed to come second and won her third medal of the Games.

Notevole!

[@teddyzamba1396]

She looked fast in the slalom, it looks like she lapped the field.

[@joachimkazmaier3196]

She was fast and she did lap the field. She was fifth after the first run, and the one shown was the second run of the slalom, where she was that much faster than anyone else to win Gold. Of all her racing during the Olympics in 1976, the 2nd run of Slalom stands out.

[@joshlevicq6823]

Rosi Mittermaier was in second place after the first run, not in fifth. And she didn't lap the field as Italy's Claudia Giordani came pretty close to her.
Nevertheless a very impressing and well deserved victory of course!

Die Bilder sind gut, die Musik nicht.

[@rupertanderson7515]

What a great skier and kind human being! RIP Gold-Rosi. I just don't get why people who upload this have the urge to accompany such great images with the most annoying music! You are trying too hard (unsuccessfully) to be cool :(
