Frieda Dänzer

Frieda Dänzer (16 November 1930 – 21 January 2015) was a Swiss Alpine skier, successful in the second half of the 1950s.

[1] At Bad Gastein in 1958, she became world champion in Alpine Combined and won the silver medal in downhill and bronze in giant slalom.

In January 1950, she suffered a compound fracture of her right tibia and fibula in a fall that put her out of action for six months.

After her recovery, Dänzer did manage to rejoin the Swiss national team.

In 1954, however, she was not taken to the World Championships in Åre, although she had shortly before become Swiss champion in the downhill on the Lauberhorn in Wengen.
