HARD WORK PAYS OFF
Georg Ableitner, one of her early coaches at SV St. Radegund, recalled her passion for training hard and how it paid off. “Conny was rather inconspicuous at the beginning, already equipped with a casual giant slalom swing, but others certainly had more talent. However, she was incredibly determined, when others were enjoying the day off or the holidays, she would train. And when she was around 14, she suddenly won gold, silver and bronze in a student test race in the Gaal." (meinbezirk.at, 10 Dec 2015)

HOME RENOVATION
Her home is very important to her because that is where she goes to regenerate and recharge. When she renovated her house she made sure to use local companies. "When you are always on the move, you first learn to appreciate how beautiful it is at home and that it is not a matter of course to have a beautiful home. It was always clear to me that only local companies would be considered for the renovation of my house. When shopping, I also make sure that the products come from the region and are not imported from other countries." (meinbezirk.at, 21 Aug 2016)

PAPAL VISIT
In summer 2016, she, along with the Austrian Ski Team, had the opportunity to meet the Pope in the Vatican. "It was pretty impressive and I’m thankful I got this opportunity to meet the Pope. It’s hard to believe, but he is pretty normal and easygoing. It was not a problem at all to take a selfie with him and he really took time for us. What he said as we were leaving impressed me: 'I pray for you, but please also pray for me.' I realised that his job is everything else but easy." (skiracing.com, 14 Jul 2016)
