She won the overall World Cup title in 2000, and she has also won five World Cup discipline titles in downhill, three in super-G, and two in combined.
Götschl has won nine medals at the World Championships, including gold medals in combined in downhill and in team event. At the 2002 Winter Olympics, she won a silver medal in combined and a bronze medal in the downhill.
On 28 January 2007, when she was second in a super-G in San Sicario, she celebrated her 100th podium in World Cup. Her total of 46 World Cup race wins is fourth all-time among women, behind only Lindsey Vonn, Annemarie Moser-Pröll, and Vreni Schneider. One of her favorite slopes is in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, where on 20 January 2007 she became the first alpine skier ever to win 10 races at a single World Cup venue. This highscore was held until December 2011 when Lindsey Vonn celebrated her ninth, tenth and eleventh victory on three consecutive days in Lake Louise, Canada.
