biography

In December 2001 Goodman took part in their first FIS races , followed a month later in the first use in the Nor-Am Cup . Until the beginning of 2004 she drove exclusively in North America. Her first World Cup race, the giant slalom in Sölden , took place on October 23, 2004, but did not finish. Goodman took part in the World Ski Championships in 2005 , was 22nd in the slalom and 16th in the combination. Successes in the World Cup were still missing.

With good results in the Nor-Am Cup and the European Cup , Goodman was able to secure a starting place in the World Cup in 2007. As the 29th of the slalom in Lienz , she won World Cup points for the first time on December 29, 2007. A little later, on February 15, 2008, she finished 19th in the slalom in Zagreb . This result she equalized twice in 2009 , on January 11th in Maribor and on January 30th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . She was even more successful at the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère , where she was twelfth in slalom.

At the start of the 2009/10 season, Goodman achieved its best World Cup standings: On November 14, she went in the slalom in Levi ranked 16th, two weeks later in Aspen in 13th and another two weeks later she ran ninth in the slalom in Åre the only time in the top ten. On January 3, 2010, she fell in the first run of the Zagreb slalom and tore a ligament in her right knee. At first it seemed that she could not take part in the Winter Olympics in her home country. The injury turned out to be less serious than initially feared and Goodman was nominated four weeks later. In the Olympic slalom, she achieved 19th place.

Next winter, Goodman finished 21st in the slalom at the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . After that, she had to end the season prematurely due to a hip injury that she had suffered in a fall in the Courchevel World Cup Slalom in December . Her best World Cup result in the 2010/11 season was 14th place, and 11th place in the 2011/12 season . On March 24, 2012, Goodman announced her resignation. However, this was short-lived. In winter 2012/13 she continued to compete in Nor-Am and FIS races. With three or six victories she was so successful that she decided to compete in the World Cup again after a break of almost a year. In the slalom of Ofterschwang on March 15, 2013, she was ranked 15th, with the fastest time in the second run. She won the slalom classification of the Nor-Am Cup by a large margin.
