Traudl Hecher

Waltraud J. "Traudl" Hecher-Görgl (born 28 September 1943) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer and Olympic medalist from Austria. Born in Schwaz, Tyrol, she won Olympic bronze medals in the downhill in 1960 at Squaw Valley and in 1964 at Innsbruck. Her medal in 1960 at age 16 made her the youngest alpine skiing medalist ever, an honor she retains over fifty years later. She raced through the 1967 season, the first year of World Cup competition.
