biography
Dumermuth competed in her first FIS race in December 1994, and a year later she competed in the European Cup for the first time. The Swiss made her debut in the Ski World Cup in January 1999. After sustaining a serious knee injury in January 2000 and had to take a break for the rest of the season, she took a surprisingly good twelfth place on January 13, 2001 on the downhill run from Haus im Ennstal her first World Cup points, but she could not repeat this result for a long time. In the European Cup she celebrated two victories in the 2000/01 season and came second in the Super-G ranking. That year she also took part in the downhill World Championship in St. Anton , but couldn't finish the race. Two years later she finished tenth in the downhill at the World Championships in St. Moritz .
At the beginning of the 2003/04 season , Dumermuth tore a cruciate ligament after falling in the giant slalom in Sölden and had to take a break for the entire winter. She only returned to the World Cup in December 2004, where she was initially unable or only barely able to place in the points. Surprisingly, on January 21, 2006, she came sixth in the downhill run from St. Moritz. In the race, however, she benefited from the changing weather conditions, which favored the drivers with rear starting numbers. With this achievement, she qualified for the Olympic Winter Games in Turin , where she lost to Martina Schild in an internal team qualification and did not start. In April 2006 Dumermuth was reassigned to the regional squad, but in August she was reassigned to the national team due to her very good training performance and competed in World Cup races again on the first weekend in December 2006 in Lake Louise , where she finished eleventh in the first downhill. In the following years she was placed in the top 15 again and again, but she was not able to achieve this consistently.
On January 26th, 2009 Dumermuth narrowly missed her first World Cup podium and finished with 0.05 seconds. Behind third-placed Andrea Dettling, fourth in the Super-G in Cortina d'Ampezzo . This was also her best World Cup result so far. On February 25, she injured her right knee in a fall in Bansko's first downhill training session and had to end the season prematurely. On March 7, 2010, Dumermuth drove her last World Cup race in Crans-Montana and then resigned.
