Edit Miklós

Edit Miklós (born 31 March 1988) is a Hungarian alpine skier, a specialist of Downhill and Super-G. Since 2002 she has been training in Austria.

Miklós was born in Miercurea Ciuc, Romania into an ethnic Hungarian family, and started to practice skiing at the age of five. At the age of 12 she already participated in World Cup races for children and in December 2005 she made her debut in the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup.

She got injured just before the 2006 Winter Olympics thus she had to miss the Games, while at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver she fell and suffered injuries that kept her away from skiing for three months. Miklós ranked 18th both in Downhill and Super-G at the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2009 in Val d'Isère, and achieved her best result in the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup in the same year by finishing 26th in Super-G in St. Moritz.

Until 2010 Edit competed for Romania, but after she obtained the Hungarian citizenship and the relation between her and the Romanian Ski Federation broken down, she opted to race for Hungary. The Romanians did not want to let her go, but pursuant to the rules of the International Ski Federation (FIS), if a skier changes her citizenship according to her nationality, it is the sole discretion of the FIS to decide whether they give the race permit or not. The Hungarian Ski Association started to lobby to allow Miklós to compete for Hungary, which resulted the FIS finally giving its permission on 17 January 2011.
