biography

Huttary, whose mother is from Sweden, was a member of the Swedish ski team from 1996 to 2001. She celebrated her greatest success at the 1996 Junior World Championship in Hoch-Ybrig with fourth place in the slalom . She mainly drove FIS (four wins) and European Cup races (two top 10), in the World Cup she was never able to classify among the top 30.

In 2001 she ended her career in alpine skiing and started immediately in ski cross races for Austria. In her first season she became European Champion in Westendorf in 2002 . At the X Games in Aspen , she achieved gold in 2004 and 2006, and silver in 2003 and 2005. In addition, she won the overall ranking of the Saab Salomon Crossmax Series three times , five individual races in this series, in 2002 and 2003 at the Cham Jam Freestyle Snowsports Festival in Chamonix and in 2003 at the US Freeskiing Open in Vail .

Huttary won four World Cup races and was third in 2004/05 and second in the overall freestyle skiing ranking in 2005/06 and second in the ski cross discipline ranking in both seasons. She celebrated her greatest success at the Freestyle Skiing World Championships 2005 in Ruka , where the ski cross discipline was held for the first time. Huttary won the gold medal with wins in all heats.

In December 2006, while training in the United States , she fell severely and broke three vertebrae. She had to take a break for the entire 2006/07 season . In the following season she made a successful comeback and finished second at the World Cup on Kreischberg . At the X Games 2008 in Aspen, she had a hard fall in the semifinals after jumping and broke her pelvis.

After her return to the World Cup, Huttary achieved four podium finishes in the 2008/09 season . At the Freestyle Skiing World Championships 2009 in Inawashiro , Japan , she won the silver medal. During the final training for the World Cup finals in La Plagne , she tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee and had to take a six-month break. In her comeback season she was third on the podium again in the fourth race. At the 2010 Winter Olympics , she made it to the finals, but then made a serious mistake immediately after the start and ended up fourth. On March 12, 2010, she suffered another cruciate ligament rupture at the World Cup in Grindelwald , whereupon she announced her resignation two weeks later.
