Sieglinde Winkler (born March 30, 1966 in Ferlach , Carinthia ) is a former Austrian ski racer .
biography
Winkler's World Cup debut took place in 1982 on the double downhill run from Arosa . The 16-year-old reached the ranks seven and ten. In the 1982/83 season she achieved her first top result with fourth place in the second downhill from Megève . She finished seventh in the next race in Les Diablerets .
For the 1985 World Ski Championships in Bormio , Winkler seemed to have already qualified for the downhill team after three top ten results when it fell heavily on the way to a podium in Megève. The 1985/86 season was the most successful season for Winkler. In the second downhill from Bad Gastein (AUT) and in the Super-G from Furano - here with starting number 48 - she took second place. A year later, she followed up with another podium with third place in the downhill from Mellau .
The quarrels of the ÖSV at the World Ski Championships in 1987 in Crans-Montana also left their mark on Winkler. She couldn't qualify for the downhill team. She ended her career in 1987 with a ninth and a seventh place in the double downhill run at the Olympic dress rehearsal in Calgary .
Winkler achieved a total of 14 top ten placements in the downhill and super-G disciplines, making her the most successful Carinthian ski racer in the speed disciplines of the Ski World Cup to date.
Sieglinde Winkler is married to the former ski jumper Ernst Vettori .
In 1982 she received the highest number of votes for women in the election for “Carinthian Sportsman of the Year” carried out by the Carinthian Sports Press Club (at that time there was no women’s rating), a success that she was able to repeat in 1986.
