Kathy Kreiner

Katharine Kreiner-Phillips (born May 4, 1957) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer and Olympic gold medalist from Canada.

She had her first World Cup top ten result in mid-January 1972, a sixth place in a downhill at Grindelwald, Switzerland.

[17] Kreiner's Olympic win in 1976 surprised even her; she had shipped home most of her items from Innsbruck and had to borrow a uniform for the medal ceremony.

[18] At the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, Kreiner finished fifth in the downhill and ninth in the giant slalom, held at Whiteface Mountain.

During her final season in 1981, Kreiner ascended her only World Cup podium in downhill, and raced independent of the Canadian national team.
