biography

Knobloch skied for the first time at the age of three and competed in her first race at the age of nine. As a teenager, she also competed in figure skating , and was also a track and field athlete and water skier . She began regular ski training at Union Klagenfurt in the early 1960s. As a 15-year-old she was accepted into the national team of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) in 1967, whereupon she played in international FIS races . The downhill was her strongest discipline right from the start. In 1968 Knobloch became two-time Austrian youth champion in downhill and giant slalom in her age group and achieved her first international successes in the same year when she achieved several top results, especially in the races in Scandinavia , including victory in the downhill and second place in the combination of Gällivare .

From the winter of 1968/1969 Knobloch was regularly used in the World Cup . The first World Cup point - at that time only awarded to the top ten - she won on January 10, 1969 as tenth of the downhill run of the SDS races in Grindelwald . Three weeks later she achieved her best World Cup result with fifth place in the downhill run of the Arlberg Kandahar races in St. Anton am Arlberg . In addition, she achieved several World Cup placements just outside the top 10, for example with a 14th place in the descent of the gold key races in Schruns , as well as a fourth place in a descent in Val Gardena that is not part of the World Cup . She finished the Downhill World Cup in 1968/69 in twelfth position. Knobloch began the following World Cup winter 1969/70 with an eleventh place in the downhill from Grindelwald, but a little later she ended her still young career after a shoulder dislocation .

After her early retirement, Knobloch graduated from the Realgymnasium in Klagenfurt. She completed a medical degree and opened a practice for general medicine in Grafendorf near Hartberg . Her husband is also a doctor and the couple have three children.
