As we have prepared a list made of women from different epochs, it would be a crime not to mention this Olympic female skier. The absolute champion of the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo, the absolute world champion of 1974 in Falun, the winner of the first-ever World Cup, the holder of the silver Olympic order, and finally, the best athlete of the 20th century in the Udmurt Republic! And this is not a complete list of achievements and regalia of the great Galina Kulakova. On her way to the status of a legend, Galina Kulakove did not stop even after receiving the most serious injury in 1970, though she was forced to literally learn to walk again. Demonstrating incredible perseverance and hard work, Kulakova recovered in record time and at the World Championships in Vysoke Tatry she showed who was the strongest racer of the generation, winning two gold medals and a bronze medal. If she is not the best female skier in terms of perseverance, then we do not know who.
6. Lyubov Egorova (USSR, Russian Federation)

Egorova, along with Marit Bjergen, which is mentioned below too, and the legendary speed skater Lidia Skoblikova, is the record holder in the number of gold medals won at the Winter Olympic Games among women. Her incredible collection contains as many as 6 pieces. In the first half of the 90s, she competed on equal terms with perhaps the best female skier in the history of Elena Vyalba, and not only imposed the fight but showed great results in the end.
5. Stefania Belmondo (Italy)
Olympic Games: 2-time winner (Albertville-1992, Salt Lake City-2002), 3-time silver medalist (1992, 1998, 2002), 5-time winner of bronze medals (1992, 2-1994, 1998, 2002 ). Points: 69.

This female Olympic skier is the only Italian in the ranking, Stephanie Belmondo. The first Italian skier to be the world champion and the first to be Olympic champion. Looking at this miniature skier (Belmondo’s height is 155 cm), you don’t even suspect what kind of fortitude she possesses. During her career, she overcame severe injuries and 4 consecutive defeats from Elena Vyalbe at the 1997 World Cup in Trondheim. For example, the 15-kilometer race at the Salt Lake Olympics is also a story of overcoming, because Stefaina started with a broken stick and more than a two-minute lag behind the leaders, and ended in an impressive triumph.
4. Raisa Smetanina (USSR)
Olympic Games: 4-time champion (2 - Innsbruck-1976, Lake Placid-1980, and Albertville-1992), 5-time winner of silver medals (1976, 1980, 2-1984, 1988), bronze medalist of Caligari-1988. Points: 85.

World Cup: 1st place in the 1980/1981 season. Points: 10. Total: 139 points.
One step away from the three winners is the legend of the Soviet and world ski tracks Raisa Smetanina. A native of the Komi Republic, she started skiing from early childhood, and as a result, by the end of her career, she ran into 10 Olympic medals of various denominations. At the Winter Olympics, only the great Norwegians won more awards, the winners of the two previous ratings Bjorn Daly and Ole Einar Bjoerndalen. Among women, Smetanina still shares the record only with Stefania Belmondo and the great Marit Bjergen. This female skier is kind, persistent and really beautiful. She is worth your attention and recognition because Raisa is a woman of a combination of the perfect beauty with the rich and powerful inner world.
3. Larisa Lazutina (USSR, Russian Federation)

The beauty of Russian women is known all over the world but this is not the only reason they can be praised for. The next woman we are going to talk about is one of the representatives of the golden era of Russian skiing. Larisa Lazutina opens the three leaders of our rating. In the 90s of the last century, she was a member of the Russian national team, along with her friends Lyubov Egorova and Elena Vyalbe, winning medals at almost every major start. Especially exciting was the moment when Lazutina succeeded in the 1995 World Championships in Thunder Bay and the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, where she collected an impressive collection of medals. Unfortunately, the doping scandal put an end to the career of this women skier. The unpleasant situation happened at the Salt Lake Olympics, as a result, she was deprived of the gold medal won for 30 kilometers and two silver medals.
2. Elena Vyalbe (USSR, Russian Federation)
Olympic Games: 3-time champion (Albertville-1992, Lillehammer-1994, Nagano-1998), 4-time bronze medalist (4 - Albertville-1992). Points: 50. World Championship: 14-time winner (2-1989, 3-1991, 2-1993, 2-1995, 5-1997), 3-time winner of silver medals (1989, 1991, 1995). Points: 82. World Cup: 5 times excelled in the overall standings according to the results of the seasons 1988/1989, 1990/1991, 1991/1992, 1994/1995, 1996/1997. Points: 50. Total: 182 points.
The second place in the ranking is occupied by the best, according to many authoritative experts, skier Elena Vyalbe. The 90s in the world of women's skiing are called the "Vyalbe era" because the dominance of this legendary female skier was obvious. 5 World Cups (a record by the way), 14 victories at the World Championships, including an absolute victory in Trondheim in 1997 with five gold medals, and recognition of greatness by the global ski community speak about Elena Valerievna's career for herself. The only thing that Vyalbe may regret is the lack of personal Olympic gold medals. The relations between the great skier and the Olympics somehow did not work out because of truly fatal bad luck, judge for yourself: she missed Calgary 1988 because of her son, in Albertville she won 4 bronze medals, Lillehammer 1994 turns out to be blurred due to the illness she had suffered the day before and the same scourge haunts her in 1998. It seems to be just some kind of evil rock! But even despite the lack of personal Olympic victories, Elena Vyalbe is a legend in skiing, and this is undeniable.
1. Marit Björgen (Norway)
Olympic Games: 6-time champion (3 - Vancouver 2010, 3 - Sochi-2014), 3-time silver medalist (Salt Lake City-2002, Turin-2006, Vancouver-2010), winner of the Vancouver 2010 bronze medal. Points: 89. World Championship: 15-time winner (2003, 3-2005, 4-2011, 4-2013, 2-2015, 2017), 5-time winner of silver awards (2003, 2005, 2011, 2013, 2015), 3-time bronze medalist (2005, 2-2007). Points: 101. World Cup: 4 wins in the seasons 2004/2005, 2005/2006, 2011/2012, 2014/2015. Points: 40. Total: 230 points.
The most titled skier in history is the great Norwegian Marit Björgen! Björgen, by far the best racer of the last decade, has recently set an amazing record, becoming the world champion for the 15th time in her career. She is also a champion among women in the number of medals won at the Winter Olympics (10, along with Raisa Smetanina and Stefania Belmondo), in the number of Olympic “gold” (6, along with Lyubov Egorova and Lidia Skoblikova), as well as in the number of victories at the stages World Cup (107), both among women and men! Actually, all of the above achievements speak for themselves, and there’s nothing more to add to them, except to enhance the legendary status, Marit Bjergen herself will replenish her already impressive collection with a couple more titles at the World Ski Championships in Lahti. She is an example of how cold Scandinavian beauty combines with no less strong power of wit and persistence. Such women are definitely worth seeing and admiring.
We have based our list on the professional achievements of female skiers from all over the globe whose peaks of the career happened to be at different times, places and circumstances. Any of these factors doesn't make these pretty women less powerful or interesting. Their life is a long competition as such but they prove them after any challenge you should keep going and stay beautiful!
