Marlies Schild (born 31 May 1981 in Admont) is an Austrian alpine skier.
At the beginning of her career, her preference was in the downhill. However, by the age of 19 she had already undergone 5 knee surgeries, prompting her to concentrate instead on the less dangerous slalom and giant slalom competitions. At the Alpine World Ski Championships 2003 in St. Moritz she placed second in the slalom behind Janica Kostelić, and at the same competition in 2005 she won a bronze medal in the combination, behind Janica Kostelić and Anja Pärson.
She has participated in the Alpine skiing World Cup four times, and won the silver medal at the 2003 World Cup.
At the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, she won a silver medal in women's combined and a bronze medal in the women's slalom event. In the giant slalom, she placed 17th. She also competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics, but did not finish the slalom event.[1]
She is currently engaged to Austrian skier Benjamin Raich.[2]
