At the 2009 Alpine World Ski Championships in Val-d'Isère Mölgg took the lead in the slalom after the first run but was disqualified from the second after missing the final gate of the course, having kept her lead at the intermediate checkpoints before the finish line.{{cite web |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/02/14/skiing.riesch/index.html |title=Riesch takes gold as friend Vonn slides out |author= |date=14 February 2009 |website=cnn.com |access-date=23 February 2019}} She is the sister of Manfred Mölgg (b.1982), a racer on the Italian men's team.
