Manfred Mölgg (born 3 June 1982) is an Italian former World Cup alpine ski racer. He specialized in the technical events of slalom and giant slalom.[1]

Mölgg's younger sister Manuela is also a former alpine racer with ten World Cup podiums.[2]

Biography[edit]

Born in Bruneck, South Tyrol, Mölgg made his World Cup debut in January 2003 at Bormio. As of mid-January 2021, he has 20 World Cup podiums with three victories, all achieved in slalom. Mölgg won the World Cup season title in slalom in 2008, and finished fourth in the overall standings, the best result for an Italian since Kristian Ghedina finished fourth overall in 2000.[1]

Mölgg has won three medals at the World Championships; a silver in slalom in 2007, a bronze in slalom in 2011, and a bronze in giant slalom in 2013.[1]

On 11 January 2020 Mölgg suffered damage to his anterior cruciate ligament during a race at Adelboden, but returned to competition during the 2021 season.[3]
