Grete Eliassen
The world record-holder who will make you “say her name.”
Though born in Minnesota, Grete Eliassen would later move to Norway and there start a skiing career. Despite an early start, skiing at the age of two, it took her several years before deciding to go into skiing. In the beginning 2008 up to 2010, she was featured in the film Say My Name.
Her claim to fame, aside from being a snow bunny, was breaking the Hip Jump World Record in 2010. During a 2015 interview with Yahoo Sports, she revealed that being in Norway helped as the country was not afraid to showcase women in sports.
On her downtime, she is part of the Women’s Sports Foundation, which mentors younger female athletes.

Are there any female skiers from Italy or Poland?
I am 50% of each (some people call me a POWOP).
Please let me know.
13? I only see 1 on this blog (probably Lindsey Vonn).
If you want to add another one, choose Justine Dafour Lapointe from Canada.
Actually the skier is Tatum Monod (my apologies).
You keep changing the picture?!
Today, it is Lindsey Vonn again!
Hi,
You will need to go to the next pages for more pictures. Its a slideshow of 13 pages/pictures.
Sorry. It should be Justine DUFOUR Lapointe.
You say 13 pictures but you only have 12 pages and 11 girls.
The first page is always a picture of one of the girls on the list (in my case Lindsey or Tatum).
Then you repeat the same name as the slideshow continues.
Even if you add JUSTINE DUFOUR LAPOINTE, you will still be ONE short.
I don’t know how I missed those boxes (PREV and NEXT).
I am usually quite astute at picking those out on other blogs.
