Andrea Rothfuß

Winter Sports

Andrea Rothfuß is a German para-alpine skier, born on 20 October 1989. She was born without a left hand and competes in the standing classes of Paralympic alpine skiing, the events in which skiers with limb differences race the same technical and speed disciplines as other alpine racers. Her Wikipedia article records her performance at the 2011 IPC Alpine Skiing World Championships, where she was first across the line in the standing women's downhill and in the slalom, second in the super combined, and third in both the super-G and the giant slalom. That spread of results across every discipline marks her as an all-round racer rather than a specialist in one event. She is a representative of Germany in international para-alpine competition, and the article links to her profiles with the International Ski and Snowboard Federation, the International Paralympic Committee and Team Deutschland Paralympics.
