Katja Seizinger (born May 10, 1972, in Datteln, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a former, German alpine skier, the most successful alpine skier of her country. She won three Olympic gold and two bronze medals. Three times she won the Alpine skiing World Cup championship (two in overall standings) and was also elected three times Germany's sportswoman of the year.
