biography
Viktoria Rebensburg drew attention to herself in her youth. Due to her achievements in children's and youth races, she was accepted into the C-squad of the German Ski Association in 2003. There she drove for victories against international competition as a 14-year-old.
Viktoria Rebensburg was first time in 2006 at the age of 16 years German champion in super-G . Viktoria Rebensburg celebrated her World Cup debut in December 2006 on the Reiteralm in combination. A few weeks after her debut, she finished seventh in the giant slalom in Zwiesel, and placed her first in the top ten. Due to strong results in the European Cup in the Super-G and Giant Slalom disciplines , she was re-nominated by the German Ski Association (DSV) for the 2007 World Championships in Åre in Giant Slalom, where she took a surprising eighth place.
Viktoria Rebensburg celebrated a great success in February 2008 when she became Junior World Champion in Super-G in Formigal . She also won silver in the giant slalom and bronze in the downhill. The next month she became German champion in giant slalom and super-G. At the beginning of March 2009 she became junior world champion in giant slalom and super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . On October 16, 2009, she was named Junior Sportswoman of the Year 2009.
Viktoria Rebensburg is the youngest of three siblings. Her uncle is the composer Thomas Rebensburg .
Olympic victory 2010
On December 28th, 2009 Viktoria Rebensburg drove in the giant slalom in Lienz for the first time in the top five in a World Cup race, after having already been in the top ten eight times. The first place on the podium followed on January 24, 2010 when she finished second in Cortina d'Ampezzo - again in the giant slalom. With these good results, she qualified for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, where she won the gold medal in the giant slalom. In the Super-G, she previously achieved 28th place. She confirmed her good form on March 11, 2010 with 4th place in the giant slalom at the World Cup finals in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , which made her fourth in the giant slalom ranking of the World Cup. On April 30, 2010, Federal President Horst Köhler awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf for her achievements .
First world cup victories
At the start of the 2010/11 season , Rebensburg won the giant slalom on the Rettenbachferner in Sölden . With this she achieved her first World Cup victory; the second followed three months later in Zwiesel . The three intermediate World Cup giant slaloms were won by French Tessa Worley , who was the same age . At the 2011 World Ski Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , she was drawn as no. 12 and could not compete for the downhill run on February 8 because of flu, after which she came fifth in the giant slalom. With two best times, Rebensburg won the giant slalom in Špindlerův Mlýn , with which she achieved her third World Cup victory and took the lead in the giant slalom from Tessa Worley, who was eliminated in the first run. Since the last giant slalom in Lenzerheide had to be canceled, Regensburg's victory in the discipline ranking was certain. She also achieved another success at the same location on March 20, 2011, when she and the German team won the team competition in front of Italy and Austria , which is only part of the Nations Cup .
In the 2011/12 season , Rebensburg once again proved to be the best giant slalom runner. She was on the podium in seven out of nine races, four of them as the winner. On March 15, 2012, she won the last Super-G of the season in Schladming , synonymous with her first victory in a speed discipline. In the 2012/13 World Cup season , she won a Super-G and a giant slalom, plus three other giant slalom podium places. At the start of the 2013/14 season , Rebensburg achieved a podium position, but was subsequently unable to match the level of the pre-winter season. The reason for this was pneumonia, which forced her to take a five-week break. It wasn't until mid-January that she had largely recovered from the disease. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , she won the bronze medal in giant slalom. For this, she was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf again on May 8, 2014 by Federal President Joachim Gauck . She finished the overall World Cup in ninth place.
Improvement in the fast disciplines
Before the 2014/15 season , Rebensburg changed materials from Nordica to Stöckli. Since then she has often been better at speed in the speed disciplines than in her actual specialty giant slalom. Among other things, she achieved her first podium finish in a descent on December 20, 2014 in Val-d'Isère , when she was second at the same time as Elisabeth Görgl . At the 2015 World Ski Championships in Vail / Beaver Creek , she finished second in the giant slalom and won her first medal at a world championship. On March 4, 2015, during training in Bad Wiessee , she tore an inner ligament in her left knee, which ended the season early for her; however, surgery was not necessary.
The winter of 2015/16 began rather cautiously for Rebensburg; only at the end of December did she achieve her first podium in the giant slalom in Lienz. After that, her form increased steadily, so that she finally won the giant slalom in Flachau on January 17, 2016 with a large margin and thus achieved her first World Cup victory in almost exactly three years. Two weeks later she also won the giant slalom in Maribor . In the speed disciplines, Rebensburg was also able to build on her performance from the previous winter after the turn of the year. After finishing third in the Super-G in Cortina d'Ampezzo, she also finished both home races in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the podium. In addition, Rebensburg was among the top ten in 15 of the 20 World Cup races previously contested and was eliminated only once. She narrowly missed winning the giant slalom discipline: despite another victory at the World Cup final in St. Moritz, she was ultimately two points behind Eva-Maria Brem .
The World Cup races of the 2016/17 season and the 2017 World Championship in St. Moritz did not go as planned for Rebensburg. On October 1st, she fell during giant slalom training on the Pitztal Glacier and suffered an unshifted fracture of the tibia head on her right knee, which forced her to take a break so that she could not take part in the opening race on October 22nd in Sölden. On November 26th, she competed in the giant slalom in Killington , where, while still convalescent, she was classified in 19th place. Subsequently, she got nine places in the top 10 (including third places in the giant slalom on Semmering on December 28th and in the downhill run from Garmisch-Partenkirchen on January 21st), but there were also two failures in the Super-G and one in the descent. In Val-d'Isère she did without the combination, after which she was unable to compete for the departure on December 17th due to a virus. At the World Championships on February 7, 2017, she was fourth in the Super-G, 17 hundredths of a second short of the bronze medal. In the downhill run on February 12, she was clearly at a disadvantage on the now shady Engiadina slope, so that she finished 11th, 1.25 seconds behind the winner, Ilka Štuhec. The giant slalom on February 16 was over for her after around 20 seconds when she was unbalanced in a left swing, so that she finished 11th, 1.25 seconds behind the winner, Ilka Štuhec . The giant slalom on February 16 was already over for her after around 20 seconds when she was unbalanced in a left turn.
From the 2017/18 season
In the 2017/18 season, Rebensburg won three times in the giant slalom, namely on October 28, 2017 in Sölden ( Austria ), on November 25, 2017 in Killington and on January 23, 2018 in Kronplatz , Italy . She also won the World Cup in the giant slalom and was third in the overall World Cup ranking.
In the 2018/2019 season she was the leader of the 2019 World Ski Championships in Åre after the first round, second in giant slalom, fourth in super-G and eleventh in downhill. In the World Cup ranking, she finished fourth in the overall World Cup, in giant slalom and Super-G. She achieved her only World Cup victory of the season on March 14, 2019 in Soldeu ( Andorra ) in the Super-G.
In the current 2019/2020 season she won the Super-G on December 8, 2019 in Lake Louise (Canada) and the downhill on February 8, 2020 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on the local Kandahar track. It was her first downhill victory after missing her first downhill victory by just 3 hundredths at the 2019 season finale in Andorra. One day after her home win in the downhill, she crashed so badly in the Super-G that it meant the end of the season for her.
