This print captures the remarkable Divina Galica during her triumphant moment at the 1972 FIS World Cup in Val d'Isere, France. With sheer determination etched on her face, Great Britain's skiing sensation showcases her exceptional skills as she gracefully navigates down the treacherous slope. At just 20 years old, Galica made her Olympic debut in Innsbruck in 1964, fearlessly competing in both downhill skiing and slalom events. Her talent and dedication led to subsequent appearances at Grenoble in 1968 and Sapporo in 1972, where she proudly served as captain of the British Women's Olympic Ski Team. Notably, Galica achieved top-ten finishes in the Giant Slalom discipline on both occasions. Galica's unwavering spirit extended beyond skiing when she ventured into uncharted territory for women - Formula One racing. In a groundbreaking move that defied gender norms, she entered the British Grand Prix in 1976. As only the third woman ever to attempt such a feat, Galica left an indelible mark on motorsport history. This extraordinary photograph by Colorsport / Stewart Fraser encapsulates Divina Galica's incredible journey from alpine slopes to race tracks worldwide. It serves as a timeless tribute to her trailblazing achievements and enduring legacy as one of Britain's most iconic athletes of all time.
