Hilde Holovsky
Hilde Holovsky (29 April 1917 – 3 July 1933) was an Austrian figure skater. She was the 1931 World silver medalist, the 1933 World bronze medalist, and the 1931 European bronze medalist. At the 1931 World Championships, she was only 13 years old and finished second to Sonja Henie. Holovsky did not compete at the 1932 Winter Olympics or 1932 World Championships because her family could not afford to send her to North America, where both events took place.
