Ответ:

Janica Kostelić, (born January 5, 1982, Zagreb, Yugoslavia [now in Croatia]), Croatian skier who, at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, became the first female skier to win four Olympic medals.

Kostelić was encouraged by her father, who later became her coach, to put on her first pair of skis at age three. Though there were few training facilities and ski courses in Croatia, Kostelić displayed promise, and at age nine she began competing in races throughout Europe. The family—including her older brother, Ivica, who was also a skier—drove to the events, often sleeping in the car or a tent to save money. In the 1996–97 season, Kostelić won all 22 events she entered and claimed the top junior titles in the slalom and giant slalom. In 1998 she competed at the Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, where her eighth-place finish in the combined event was then the highest finish by a Croatian Winter Olympian.
