A skiing legend visits the "Krone" in Linz. Annemarie Moser-Pröll talked about her stardom, death threats, her request to the Pope, Marcel Hirscher and her daughter. And said quite openly: "I'm certainly nothing special at home."

People turn around on the street and ask in amazement: "Is it really you?" Yes, Austria's athlete of the century is still recognized. "Do you think that's important for me?" smiles Annemarie Moser-Pröll, marching up the hill towards the Linz Castle Café. "My dad was from Afiesl, and I have relatives in the Mühlviertel," says the six-time Alpine Skiing Overall World Cup and Olympic champion, explaining her brief visit to the Upper Austrian capital.
