Weissensteiner, the defending world champion, had the fastest times in each of the four runs to win the gold medal. Less than three weeks later, the medal was stolen while she was at her brother's funeral when her home in Bolzano was burgled. The Olympic Organizing Committee of Lillehammer gave her a replacement.
