biography
In the mid-1970s, Mittermaier made it to the top of the world after several injuries. At the 1974 World Championships in St. Moritz , she finished 14th in the downhill and almost a year later on January 24, 1975 with seventh place in the Innsbruck downhill, she won her first points in the World Cup . A week later she achieved her best World Cup result in this discipline , finishing ninth in the combination of Chamonix . Her breakthrough came in the 1975/76 season , when she was the first German to win a downhill in the Ski World Cup on December 16, 1975 in Cortina d'Ampezzo . Twelve days earlier, she had scored her first World Cup points in giant slalom in Val-d'Isère .
At the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, which were also rated as the World Championships, the 22-year-old was 13th in the downhill and eighth in the giant slalom. However, as often before, she was completely in the shadow of her sister Rosi, who won three gold and one silver medal. At the end of winter, she achieved her best World Cup result in this discipline with fifth place in the giant slalom at Mont Sainte-Anne .
After her sister Rosi resigned, Evi Mittermaier was the most successful German in the Ski World Cup in the 1976/77 season . As of this winter, she achieved her best results exclusively in the downhill. With three second places in the last three races of the season, she reached fourth place in the Downhill World Cup and with eleventh place her best result in the overall World Cup. The following winter , on January 18, 1978, she celebrated her second World Cup victory at the silver jug races in Bad Gastein and again achieved fourth place in the Downhill World Cup with another two podium places. At the 1978 World Cup in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , she finished sixth in the downhill.
In the winter of 1978/79 Mittermaier achieved second place in each of the runs from Val-d'Isère and Les Diablerets and thus their last podium places. With sixth place in the Downhill World Cup, she was the best German downhill woman for the third time in a row. In the 1979/80 season she achieved top 10 results in five of the seven runs, and in January she won the last World Cup points as seventh in the two runs from Pfronten . Her last major event was the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid , where she finished 17th on the downhill at the same time as the Swiss Doris De Agostini . In 1980 Evi Mittermaier ended her career. In 1990, as the technical delegate of the FIS , she called off a women's world cup race in the Super-G in Kitzbühel , which was to be held for the 50th anniversary of the Kitzbühel Ski Club. Later she worked as a ski trainer and press officer for the Chiemgau Ski Association.
