| dbo:abstract | Penelope „Penny“ Pitou (* 8. Oktober 1938 in New York) ist eine ehemalige US-amerikanische Skirennläuferin. Mit zwei Silbermedaillen war sie einer Stars der alpinen Wettbewerbe bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1960 in Squaw Valley. Pitou wuchs in dem Wintersportort Laconia (New Hampshire) auf. Erstmals qualifizierte sie sich 1956 als 17-Jährige für das US-Olympiateam. Bei den Winterspielen in Cortina d’Ampezzo konnte sich gegen die sehr viel erfahrenere Konkurrenz nicht durchsetzen. Im Riesenslalom wurde sie 34., im Slalom 31. und in der Abfahrt 34. Vier Jahre später trug sie sich dann in die Annalen der Winterspiele ein. In Squaw Valley gewann sie im Riesenslalom und in der Abfahrt die Silbermedaille. Damit war sie die einzige Skirennläuferin der Spiele, die zwei Medaillen erringen konnte. Besonders spannend verlief die Abfahrt am 20. Februar 1960. Nachdem sich die favorisierte Pitou mit Bestzeit an die Spitze des Klassements setzen konnte, wurde sie im Zielraum schon als neue Olympiasiegerin gefeiert. Doch sie wurde von der unmittelbar nach ihr startenden und nicht unbedingt zu den Favoriten zählenden Heidi Biebl noch abgefangen. Ein Jahr zuvor hatte Pitou die Abfahrt und die Kombination der SDS-Rennen in Grindelwald gewonnen. Pitou war mehrere Jahre mit dem österreichischen Skirennläufer Egon Zimmermann verheiratet. Heute organisiert sie seit über 30 Jahren Skitouren in den Alpen. Ihre Enkelin startet im Skiweltcup. (de) Penny Pitou, née le 8 octobre 1938, est une skieuse alpine américaine. (fr) Penelope Theresa "Penny" Pitou (born October 8, 1938) is a former United States Olympic alpine skier, who in 1960 became the first American skier to win a medal in the Olympic downhill event. In 2001, Pitou was inducted into the New England Women's Sports Hall of Fame. Pitou moved with her family from New York to Center Harbor, New Hampshire at the age of three. There she began skiing on a hill in her backyard, later progressing to the nearby Gilford Outing Club and Belknap Mountain (now Gunstock) ski areas. By the age of 15 Penny and her family moved to Laconia, New Hampshire, where she graduated from Laconia High School in 1956 and attended Middlebury College, where she was a member of the class of 1960. As a freshman at Laconia High in 1953, she ignored the no-girls-rule and tried out for the boys' ski team. "I hid my hair under my hat and asked my friends to call me Tommy," she said. "I made the team and everything went great until I competed in a downhill race at New Hampton School. I crashed in front of a gate-keeper, my hat flew off and my hair came down. It's one of the few times in my life that I was at a loss for words." Her ski career continued apace however, and at the age of seventeen she was first selected for the U.S. Olympics Ski Team. Her self-described Olympic mentor, 1952 double-medalist Andrea Mead Lawrence, encouraged Penny to continue working on her skiing after a disappointing performance in the 1956 Games in Italy. Her perseverance paid off in 1960, when Pitou won silver medals for second place in both the Downhill and Giant Slalom events at the 1960 Olympics in Squaw Valley, California. At the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1958 in Austria, Pitou met the Austrian alpine skier Egon N. Zimmermann. They married in 1961, had two children, and settled in New Hampshire. The couple divorced in 1968. Pitou appeared as Miss X but not as the mystery guest on "What's My Line". She continues to be active in the ski community, and runs a skiing school and a travel company through which she leads ski groups to various European resorts. She was seen in December 2007 with New York Senator Hillary Clinton in preparation for the New Hampshire primary for the 2008 American presidential election.
