Annemarie Moser-Pröll's leverage provenance
Each non-zero lever gets a best-supported origin, evidence signals, and confidence. Unresolved is the honest default when the biography cannot distinguish self-built, advantage-enabled, earned, external, or mixed.

Frontier geography (2/2)
This is a bounded inference from the current annotations—not a claim about private effort, merit, or the percentage of Annemarie Moser-Pröll's outcome attributable to any origin.
Structural luck, Encounter luck, Event luck, Outcome variance can change every arrow in the path. This successful-only dataset cannot observe the near-identical paths that did not break through, so luck stays visible and unscored.
Within Athletes, Annemarie Moser-Pröll's starting-advantage total is at the 92th percentile. Separately, their built or converted leverage total is at the 92th percentile. Other T1 profiles average 8.9 / 24 starting advantage and 13.6 / 25 leverage. Similar scores appear in other tiers, so these figures describe positioning—not a cause.

Evidence summary
Annemarie Moser-Pröll grew up on a mountain farm in Kleinarl, Austria, skiing from age four and racing from age twelve. She was discovered by local ski teachers Christoph and Stefan Dertnig and joined the Austrian national ski team at fifteen. By seventeen, she won her first World Cup race and the overall FIS World Cup title, becoming the youngest ever overall winner. Her dominance was unprecedented: five consecutive overall World Cup titles (1971-75), Olympic silvers in 1972, and World Championship gold in 1974, all before age 22. The combination of growing up in the Austrian Alps, access to the elite Austrian ski pipeline, and exceptional natural talent made her the most successful female ski racer in history.
