Lena Dürr (born 4 August 1991) is a German World Cup alpine ski racer and specializes in slalom.

Career

Dürr made her World Cup debut in February 2008. She has two World Cup wins; the first was also her first podium, a parallel slalom in 2013. It was a City Event race in Moscow, Russia, on 29 January, where she came as a reserve.{{cite web|url=http://www.skiracing.com/?q=node/21651|publisher=Ski Racing.com|title=Shffrin picks up 20 points on Maze in SL standings, finishes third in Moscow|date=29 January 2013|access-date=28 February 2022|archive-date=17 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160417223004/http://www.skiracing.com/?q=node%2F21651|url-status=dead}} Her second win came exactly a decade later in a slalom at Špindlerův Mlýn, Czech Republic, where she edged out runner-up Mikaela Shiffrin. The two had switched positions on the podium in a slalom the previous day. Dürr won the bronze medal in slalom at the 2023 World Championships.{{Cite web |date=2023-02-18 |title=St-Germain shocks Shiffrin for world slalom gold |url=https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230218-st-germain-shocks-shiffrin-for-world-slalom-gold |access-date=2024-07-20 |website=France 24 |language=en}}
