Elisabeth Görgl (born February 20, 1981) is a World Cup alpine ski racer from Austria. Born in Bruck an der Mur, Styria, she is the daughter of Traudl Hecher, an alpine racer for Austria in the early 1960s. Görgl has reached World Cup podiums in all five alpine disciplines, with victories in giant slalom, Super G, and downhill. In January 2008, she won her first World Cup race in the giant slalom at Maribor, Slovenia. In the 2009 World Championships at Val d'Isère, she won a bronze medal in super combined. In the 2011 World Championships at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Görgl won her first gold medal in the Super G and added a second gold medal in the Downhill five days later. She is the third in a row to win both Super G and downhill World Championships gold medals – Lindsey Vonn did just that in 2009 at Val d'Isère and Anja Pärson in 2007 at Åre.
At the 2010 Winter Olympics, Görgl won the bronze medal in the downhill – the same medal in the same event as her mother half a century earlier at the 1960 and the 1964 Winter Olympics.[1][2] A week later she also won the bronze medal in the giant slalom.
Her older brother Stephan Görgl, also an alpine racer, competed in the giant slalom at the 2006 Winter Olympics.[3]
