This print captures Divina Galica, a remarkable athlete, during the 1970 FIS World Cup Women's Slalom in Val d'Isere, France. Representing Great Britain with sheer determination and skill, Galica left an indelible mark on the world of skiing. At just 20 years old, Galica made her Olympic debut at Innsbruck in 1964. Fearlessly taking on both downhill skiing and slalom events, she showcased her exceptional talent to the world. Her passion for skiing led her to participate in two more Winter Olympics: Grenoble in 1968 and Sapporo in 1972. As captain of the British Women's Olympic Ski Team on both occasions, Galica displayed exemplary leadership qualities. Notably, Galica achieved impressive results by finishing within the top ten in Giant Slalom during these prestigious competitions. However, it was not only on snowy slopes where she sought challenges; she also ventured into uncharted territories by entering the male-dominated sport of Formula One racing. In 1976, she became only the third woman ever to attempt competing at this level. This stunning image captured by Colorsport photographer Stewart Fraser showcases Divina Galica's unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence across multiple disciplines. It serves as a testament to her legacy as an extraordinary athlete who defied expectations and inspired generations to follow their dreams fearlessly.
