biography

Haslauer began skiing in the late 1940s. The Salzburg native achieved her first major successes in the winter of 1956 when she came second in downhill, slalom and combined at the Coppa Grischa in Lenzerheide . In the next few years she achieved further top placings in international competitions, but still mostly in less well-attended FIS B races.

After a fourth place in the downhill on Mount Etna was her best result in the 1956/1957 season , Haslauer celebrated her first victory in an FIS race in the 1958 Maurienne giant slalom . Her greatest successes on a national level came in 1959 at the Austrian Championships in Kitzbühel , when she was state champion in giant slalom and second in downhill and combined. In the same year she won the downhill and giant slalom at the Salzburg state championships. At the international level, Haslauer's best results this winter were second place in the combination as well as third place in downhill and slalom from Crans-Montana . However, she was never able to qualify for participation in world championships and the Olympic Games within the Austrian team.

Haslauer celebrated her last victory in 1960 in the giant slalom in Innsbruck before she announced her retirement from ski racing in the spring of 1960. She married, became the mother of three children and ran the campsite in Salzburg-Aigen until she retired in 2003 .
