Mirjam Puchner

THE END WAS A NEW BEGINNING: VICTORY RUNNER WITH 23, MORE TO COME
She is a 100 percent Redster-Lady: Beautiful, smart and fast. And as multi-talented as her brother Joachim (she studied economics, played Tennis enthusiastically in St. Johann, plays music as compensation for sports). Miriam became a hot stock in the speed business, and insiders knew for years. Reaching her first all-time high at the early age of 23 caused cheering in the whole Atomic Team. Ironically, the season finale in 2016, the end of winter, was a new beginning for her. Her debut victory in the last downhill (by the way in St. Moritz on the World Championship course 2017) gives her the coveted rating "victory runner". That suits her well and she likes it. More to come, for the development of her skiing potential is still at the beginning.
