Early life

Scheib grew up in Frauental an der Laßnitz and learned to ski at Kluglifte Hebalm, a one-run ski area nearby. She entered and won her first ski race when she was four years old. [2]

Career

Sheib won a silver medal in super-G at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics. [3]

She won the gold medal in the giant slalom at the 2018 World Junior Championships. [4]

She made her World Cup debut on 27 October 2018 in the giant slalom at Sölden, Austria and won her first race on the Europa Cup in December. [1] She went to the 2019 World Junior Championships and won the silver in the super-G. [5]

Scheib's first appearance at the World Championships in Méribel, France, where the Austrian team was fourth in the team event, but she skied out in the second run of the giant slalom. At the end of that season, she earned her first World Cup podium, a third place in the team parallel giant slalom in Soldeu, Andorra. [1]

Her first individual podium was a third place in the giant slalom in October 2024, in the season-opening race in Sölden, Austria. Later that season she competed in the 2025 World Championships in Saalbach, Austria. [1]

Scheib's first World Cup victory came the next season at Sölden, and she followed that up with three more wins (at Tremblant, Semmering, and Kronplatz) along with two second-place finsihes. [6] She went to the 2026 Winter Olympics where she finished fifth in the giant slalom. [7]
