biography
Miklós, who belongs to the Hungarian minority in Transylvania , initially started for the ski club in her hometown Miercurea Ciuc. Her first successes were two downhill victories at FIS races in spring 2007 and shortly afterwards sixth place in the downhill at the 2007 Junior World Championship . A year later she got two fourth places in the European Cup (Downhill and Super Combined ) and fifth in the Junior World Championship 2008 - again in the Downhill.
Edith Miklós made her first appearance in the World Cup in Val-d'Isère in 2005 , where she finished 60th and last. A new World Cup start did not take place until the end of 2008 on the descent from Lake Louise , which ended in a fall. However, Miklós was uninjured and shortly thereafter took 30th place in the Super-G of St. Moritz , with which she received a World Cup point. It was the first point for Romania in the history of the Alpine Ski World Cup.
Miklos started in 2009 at the World Championships in Val d'Isere and 2010 at the Olympic Games of Vancouver . In Val-d'Isère, she finished 18th in the Downhill and Super-G, respectively. At the Olympic Downhill, she fell in the middle section and suffered a cruciate ligament rupture . Since she did not get the support she wanted from the Romanian Ski Association, Miklos applied for Hungarian citizenship during the injury break. This was granted to her quickly and the immediate recognition by the FIS prevented a two-year suspension of the sportswoman, who was then able to make her comeback in January 2011. With 30th place in the Super Combined in St. Moritz, on January 27, 2012, she won the first ever World Cup points for Hungary.
On February 12, 2014, Miklós surprisingly reached 7th place in the downhill at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi . Her first top 10 result in the World Cup followed on March 2, 2014, when she was fifth on the downhill from Crans-Montana . Almost a year later, on January 24, 2015, she achieved her first podium finish as third in the downhill from St. Moritz , which was also the first podium finish in the Alpine Ski World Cup for Hungary. The 2016/17 season started promisingly with another third place on the Lake Louise Downhill. But on January 14, 2017, she fell during training for the downhill from Altenmarkt-Zauchensee and sustained serious knee injuries on both legs. In mid-April 2018, Miklós announced her retirement from top-class sport.
