Life

Zettel was born in 1986 [1] in Scheibbs, Lower Austria, and from Göstling, she competed primarily in the technical events of Giant slalom and slalom. Zettel made her World Cup debut in March 2004 and won her first World Cup race in November 2006.

In January 2010, Zettel won both technical events at Maribor, for her first victory in slalom. [2] At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, she was the bronze medalist in slalom at Rosa Khutor, her first podium since October and just two days after her grandmother died. [3]

After she retired in 2015 she went to live in Styria. She took a share in "Blue Power" a wind turbine company. The turbines are small (1.7 m diameter) and designed to be used by a home owner. Zettel handles the social media for the company. [4]
