biography

Zückert drove his first races at the Grödig Ski Club as early as the early 1930s . In 1941 she became Reich Youth Champion in slalom. When more and more ski races were held again after the end of the Second World War, she was already among the national leaders. Although Austrian ski racers were still excluded from taking part in competitions abroad in the first post-war winter , they won slalom and combination at the unofficial Austrian championships, the national comparison competitions in Eisenerz in February 1946 .

Her first important victory abroad was the three-piste race in Arosa in 1947 . In the same winter, she also won the combination of the Hahnenkamm race in Kitzbühel (she was second in both slalom and downhill), the downhill run of the Sonnblick race from Hohen Sonnblick to Kolm-Saigurn, and a slalom in Seefeld in Tyrol . She also won the combined title when the first official Austrian championships after the Second World War were held in Tschagguns in February 1947 .

In the next winter, however, there were no further victories or podiums, but she was still able to qualify for the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz . Hindered by an injury, she only came in 16th place in the downhill, while she was disqualified in the first round in the slalom. Two weeks after the Olympic competitions, she celebrated the only win of the winter at the Austrian Championships in Bad Hofgastein , when she won the giant slalom, which was held for the first time in front of Hilde Doleschell , which, as a demonstration competition, was not yet an official part of the championships. Even in the winter of 1949, she was denied major successes. After winning the slalom at the Salzburg State Championships in Zell am See , she suffered a broken leg while skiing, which is why the season ended early for her.

In the winter of 1949/1950 Zückert found his way back to his old achievements. Although she did not succeed in qualifying for the 1950 World Cup in Aspen within the team, she celebrated numerous victories in the further course of the season, including the slalom of the SDS races in Grindelwald , downhill, slalom and combined from St. Moritz , in slalom , Giant slalom and a combination of Auron and the giant slalom of the Glockner race on the Großglockner . She also won all disciplines (slalom, downhill and combined) at the Austrian championships in Bad Aussee . At the Arlberg-Kandahar races in Mürren , she came second in the slalom, fifth in the downhill and fourth in the combination.

After this successful year, Zückert no longer took part in all races in the winter of 1951/1952. Podiums were largely absent , with the exception of a third place in the slalom in Seefeld and two wins in the giant slalom in Popova Šapka and in the combination of the Šar Planina Cup in Yugoslavia . She also temporarily coached the Yugoslav national team this winter. Zückert drove her last race in the winter of 1951/1952. However, she did not achieve any top placements internationally and clearly missed being called up to the Austrian Olympic team for Oslo 1952 .

After the end of her skiing career, Zückert worked as a physiotherapist in Bad Gastein. As a therapeutic gymnast, she had already cared for wounded soldiers during the Second World War. After her marriage in 1956 to the businessman Rudolf Zrost, who owned a bakery business, and the birth of two children over the next two years, she withdrew into private life and ran the household. Her son Rudolf Vinzenz Zrost, born in 1957, completed an apprenticeship as a baker in his parents' business and studied business administration at the University of Innsbruck . A daughter was born in 1958. Zückert remained in contact with skiing. Until shortly before her death, she was on skis herself. In 1959 she was made the first honorary member of SC Grödig .
