a new double and then she’s off before she leaves
at the age of four, michaela dorfmeister was already spending hours hurtling down the slopes near her home in the small resort of neusiedl in western austria. her skis and talent took her to three editions of the olympic winter games.
she first participated in the olympic games in nagano in 1998, taking a silver medal in the super-g event. she lost out on the gold by one hundredth of a second. four years later, at the salt lake city games, she ended up in 4th, 5th, 6th and 9th place in the four events in which she had entered.
michaela almost didn’t take part in the turin olympic games. twenty days beforehand, she narrowly missed having a terrible accident by only just avoiding a member of the ski patrol who crossed in front of her on a run in st moritz.
this little episode forgotten, on 15 february she dashed off in the downhill at these games. she raced with the precision of a silversmith, chiselling out some perfect curves to snatch the gold. at the finish, she arrived ahead of the amazing swiss skier martina schild and the swedish all-rounder anja paerson. on the podium, “michi” couldn’t hold back the tears. at 32, she had just taken the only title missing from her incredible career. she thus won the women’s downhill title that austria had waited for since that of annemarie moser-proll in 1980.
five days later, it was the super-g event. the day before, heavy snowfall had covered the piedmont course and wreaked havoc on the race conditions. michaela dorfmeister was among the big favourites. setting off with bib number 30, she put on a new show. she beat croat janica kostelic and fellow austrian alexandra meissnitzer by almost three and sixth tenths of a second. however, on crossing the line, michaela did not realise her incredible performance, and was desperately searching for her name and time on the screen. it was her heir apparent kostelic who fell into her arms to confirm what she had achieved.
michaela dorfmeister was the first woman to win the double in the speed events in alpine skiing, downhill and super-g, since the introduction of the super-g on the games programme in 1988. her two olympic gold medals were the peak of a career which ended on a high note: three months beforehand she had announced that she was retiring at the end of winter 2006.

米卡埃拉•多夫梅斯特四岁的时候就每天在自己家附近的山坡上玩耍了，她的天分和努力让她走上滑雪运动员之路，她参加了三次冬季奥运会。1998 年日本长野冬季奥运会是她第一次登上奥运舞台，她以0.01秒之差在高山超级大回转项目上获得一枚银牌。四年后的盐湖城冬奥会上，她再次脎羽而归，在参加的四个项目中分别名列第4，5，6和第9名。2006年33岁的她参加了都灵冬奥会，并为奥地利拿下自1980年以来期盼已久的高山速降金牌。五天后的高山超级大回转比赛中，米卡埃拉是金牌的有力竞争者，凭借自己优异的表现，她再次给自己带来惊喜，再夺一枚金牌。米卡埃拉是自从1988年冬奥会上超级大回转列为奥运会比赛项目以来，第一位在高山滑雪的两个项目：高山速降和超级大回转项目上都获得金牌的女子运动员。都灵冬奥会是她运动生涯的最高点，也是她运动生涯的告别地。都灵冬奥会后，她宣布退役。
