Career
Born in Ehenbichl, Tyrol, she won her first World Cup competition, giant slalom, in Sölden, Tyrol, Austria on 26 October 2002, sharing the victory with Andrine Flemmen and Tina Maze.{{cite news|url=https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2002/10/26/Flemmen-Maze-Hosp-in-three-way-tie/56261035646835/|title=Flemmen, Maze, Hosp in three-way tie|publisher=United Press International|language=English|date=26 October 2002|accessdate=4 January 2021}} Hosp won the overall World Cup title in 2007 and the season title in giant slalom. A versatile all-around racer, she won World Cup races in four of the five alpine skiing disciplines (super-G, giant slalom, slalom and combined), and was world champion in the giant slalom in 2007. Although Hosp won the giant slalom crystal globe in 2007, she stopped racing GS after often not qualifying for the second run in 2011. In her final seasons, she competed in four disciplines: slalom, Super-G, downhill, and combined.
Hosp suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to her right knee at Sölden in October 2009 and missed the rest of the 2010 season, including the 2010 Winter Olympics.{{cite web|url=http://www.skiracing.com/?q=node/363|publisher=Ski Racing.com|title=Hosp hopes to compete in 2011 championships|date=30 October 2009}}
