Sigrid Wolf (born 14 February 1964) is an Austrian former Alpine skier.
Her first points in the Alpine Skiing World Cup she could gain on March 25th, 1982, in the Downhill Race at San Sicario by finishing 14th. Her first "Top Ten" was on March 5th, 1983, in the Downhill at Mont Tremblant. She came in the spotlight when she placed fourth in the downhill in Santa Caterina in 1985, being 0.01 sec. behind a medal (there was a tied silver medal between Ariane Ehrat and Katharina Gutensohn. Being double winner in the World Cup Downhill races at Vail on March 13th and 14th, 1987, she did stop a four-month phase without a win for the female Austrian team. Winning the Super-G race at Sestriere on November 28th, 1987, was the first win for the female team of the Austrian Ski Federation in the World Cup since that discipline was established in the season 1982-83 (it was the race number 19). - She did win another race too; it happened on January 9th, 1988, at Lech but she was disqualified at last because violation of the regulation in regard to non correct attaching the bib-number; Zoë Haas became the winner (that case is known as the »Stecknadelaffäre von Lech« / »pin scandal of Lech« by insiders - because Sigrid and other racers of the Austrian team did attach the oversized bib-numbers with pins but such a method wasn't allowed). Sigrid Wolf won the Super-G gold medal at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary ahead of Michela Figini and Karen Percy. This was the first time it was ever arranged a Super-G competition at the Olympic games. One year later she won a silver medal in the same discipline at the World Championships in Vail, Colorado.
