Love for sport fuels Stiegler's lengthy career

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Resi Stiegler may not match her father's medal total, but she has already beaten him in one Olympic category.

Stiegler's third Olympic selection this year means she has passed father Pepi in appearances at the Winter Games.

The Austrian dominated the 1960 and 1964 Olympics, racking up a gold, silver and bronze over five starts in three disciplines. But Pepi, 80, didn't have the staying power his resilient daughter has.

Resi previously said she doesn't have the ammo to boast to her decorated father. Yet Pepi said his first-born has all the right to do so.
