The local boys that Laura Stigger first raced against provided a catalyst for the competitive spirit that's driven her to one success after another. She crashed hard in her first-ever race during the summer of 2007, but a bloody knee didn't stop her from finishing and starting her rapid climb through the cross-country ranks.

The Austrian dominated the Junior World Series and by 2017 enjoyed her best season yet, winning everything she could: the Junior World Championships, the Junior European Championship (her fourth European title in four years), the Junior World Cup and every other race on her calendar.
