Annemarie Moser-Pröll and Lindsey Vonn – the two greatest female alpine ski racers in history came together in Vail/Colorado last weekend. There Austria’s Annemarie Moser-Proell received the “American Ski Classic Legend of Honor” award and was thus inducted in the “Hall of Fame” of international Ski Racing.
Since 1983 the Vail Valley Foundation organizes the „Legend of Honor” award every year to recognize an outstanding individual or group that has had a profound impact on the sport of skiing and ski racing throughout the course of their career.
Annemarie Moser-Pröll dominated the ski races during the seventies with six Overall World Cup titles, six World Championship medals, three Olympic medals and she made it up to 62 World Cup victories. Lindsey now sits at 59 victories – that means only three victories away from Annemarie’s record.
