Where She Is Now -
Resi Stiegler was already well on her way to getting her first World Cup podium with three top finishes in the Slalom, but she ended up crashing during a world cup giant slalom in Australia during the 2007 and 2008 ski season. She slid off the course and under safety netting, then stopped against a tree. She fractured her left arm, damaged a ligament in her right knee, and sustained multiple bruises as well, which sidelined her for the remainder of the ski season. She participated in this year's summer ski camps, however, and is already ready to have an exciting season this year around. The upcoming 2008 and 2009 ski season is intended to be a positive one for Resi.

Interesting and Inspirational Quotes -
"It's disgusting. I've never eaten such bad food in my life. It's unfortunate because Italy is known for its good food and I've had good Italian food, but I guess they just don't know how to cook for a lot of people." - Resi Stiegler
"I think it's pretty pathetic that no one showed up, and that Italy couldn't really put on an event that like maybe Salt Lake City did. But that's not why we are here to race." - Resi Stiegler
"Lindsey's Gumby, so she should be good. Gumby, that's anyone that can do the stuff she does and not get hurt." - Resi Stiegler
