Justyna Maria Kowalczyk ( listen ^{? / I} ) (born January 19, 1983 in Limanowa , Lesser Poland Voivodeship ) is a Polish cross-country skier who competes for the KS AZS-AWF Katowice .

With her two Olympic victories in 2010 and 2014 and the three other Olympic medals, Kowalczyk is one of the most successful Polish cross-country skiers in sports history. In 2006 she became the first Polish cross-country skier to win an Olympic medal. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2009, the Polish woman won three medals, including two gold medals in the double pursuit and in the 30-kilometer race. In addition, she won the overall World Cup in the 2008/09, 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2012/13 seasons, making her the first overall World Cup winner in her country. She has been one of the best athletes in the World Cup for several years, and has celebrated a total of 30 World Cup victories and many other podium results so far. She also attracted attention with a doping ban in 2005, which subsequently deprived her of fourth place at a world championship.

Career

Beginnings, jumping into the World Cup and first successes (2000-2003)

Kowalczyk began cross-country skiing at the age of ten, and seven years later she competed in the Nordic Junior World Championships in Štrbské Pleso, Slovakia . The then 17-year-old Polish woman did not achieve any convincing placements there, her best result was a 40th place in the freestyle sprint. Even at the Junior World Championships a year later in her home country in Karpacz , Szklarska Poręba , she did not get past 30th place, which made her at least the best of the four Polish participants. In March 2001 she started for the first time in FIS races , lower class competitions, of which she won her first straight away and finished her second in second place. In these two races, however, the field of participants was limited to only eight compatriots Kowalczyks, none of whom were among the international top. Nevertheless, after equally good placements in other FIS races outside Poland, she made the jump into the Cross-Country World Cup , where she competed for the first time on December 9, 2001 in Cogne , but finished the other laps as 64th in the sprint prologue clearly missed.

Although Kowalczyk had not achieved a surprising result in the first World Cup race, she was selected as the best Polish woman for the Polish-Ukrainian relay at the World Cup in Davos . With over seven minutes behind this mixed team, however, missed the top positions by a long way and finally placed 17th and last place with over three minutes behind the penultimate season. Shortly afterwards, the Pole reached her first World Cup point when she finished 30th in the Asiago sprint . At the last FIS race before the Junior World Championships in Schonach in 2002 , she managed to finish second again before she impressed at the Junior World Championships, especially in the sprint, where in eleventh place she barely missed the top ten. The Polish woman also impressed in the Continental Cup , so she was also nominated for the World Cup for the 2002/03 season . There she collected eight points in two sprints, one in December 2002 and one in March 2003. The rest of the winter also went well for her; she triumphed in five FIS races and was also able to finish ninth in the sprint of the 2003 Winter Universiade in Tarvisio .

The biggest success of the season, however, reached Kowalczyk at the Junior World Championships 2003 in Sollefteå, Sweden . Here she was first fifth over five kilometers in the classic style and then placed second in the sprint behind the German Nicole Fessel , with which she won the silver medal. In the qualification, the prologue, she was only 14th. Because of this good performance, the Polish Federation nominated her for the Senior World Championship . There she achieved 48th place over ten kilometers, in the sprint she just missed the top 30 in 31st.

Establishment in the points ranks and doping ban (2003-2005)

In the winter of 2003/04 Kowalczyk got off to a good start with another FIS race triumph. In two World Cup races in December 2003, she improved her best results first to a 24th, then to a 15th place, which she achieved in the sprint. In the following season she came in 12th place in a 10-kilometer competition; In total, she got 88 World Cup points and was 46th in the overall World Cup. In addition, she won two FIS and Continental Cup competitions. She did not take part in major winter events.

The 2004/05 season started again successfully for Kowalczyk, she scored several points for the overall World Cup and won an FIS race. She also took part successfully in the Winter Universiade in Innsbruck in January 2005 and won over 15 kilometers, which was her first major international title. She competed in good shape at the World Ski Championships in 2005 and finished fourth in the classic bronze medal over 30 kilometers just a few seconds. She also placed well in the other World Cup competitions, but these results were all withdrawn by the FIS , as the Polish woman was found to have taken the doping agent dexamethasone in January 2005 . As a result, the Ski Association canceled all of Kowalczyk's results retroactively since the end of January 2005, including the world championship results. He sentenced her to a two-year doping ban, which was shortened shortly afterwards because the drug was either taken unintentionally or did not improve performance. So it was able to start again internationally in December 2005.

Olympic medal and final breakthrough in the world class (2005–)

The 2005/06 season following the doping ban was Kowalczyk's most successful so far. In the World Cup , she placed sixth in the Nové Mesto sprint for the first time in the top 10, followed by her first podium place at the beginning of 2006 when she was third over 10 kilometers in Otepää . In this good shape she traveled to the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin . There she already placed eighth in the pursuit, but this was followed by two disappointments. She could not finish the 10-kilometer race and in the sprint she was eliminated in qualifying as 44th. It was not until the last competition, the 30-kilometer mass start, that Kowalczyk showed herself and delivered a good race, which she finished in third and bronze medalist. She only had to admit defeat in the finish sprint, so that she even missed Kateřina Neumannová's victory by just two seconds. Nevertheless, she was the first Olympic medalist for Poland in cross-country skiing. In the overall World Cup, she placed 13th with 392 points.

She started the cross-country skiing world cup 2006/07 rather poorly, although she managed to place fourth in a 10-kilometer competition. In the Tour de Ski , which was held for the first time , she also missed the top 10 in eleventh place, if only just barely. Only after the Tour de Ski did Kowalczyk get back into shape, at the Universiade she even triumphed three times, in the sprint, in the double pursuit and over five kilometers. Shortly thereafter, she achieved her first World Cup victory when she won the 10-kilometer race in Otepää. Despite further good results in the World Cup, she did not finish in the top five at the Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 in Sapporo . She finished the overall World Cup on a good eighth place, collecting many points in both the distance and the sprint World Cup.

Unlike in the previous year, Kowalczyk started the 2007/08 World Cup very well, finishing third in her second race. After the Tour de Ski , which she finished seventh this time, the second World Cup success followed in Canmore . Thanks to several podium finishes, the Pole reached third place in the overall World Cup, as well as in the Distance World Cup and eighth in the Sprint World Cup. She also got off to a successful start in the 2008/09 season ; In the first ten World Cup competitions she did not make it into the top 10 only once, also in the Tour de Ski 2008/09 she placed fourth overall. At the Olympic test in Whistler , to which not all top athletes came, Kowalczyk celebrated her third World Cup triumph, now in the pursuit. At the start of the Nordic World Ski Championships 2009 in Liberec , she won her first World Championship medal with the bronze medal over the 15 kilometers classic. A few days later, Kowalczyk won the double pursuit over 2 × 7.5 kilometers and thus achieved her first international title ahead of Kristin Størmer Steira by just beating the Norwegian in the finish sprint. In the last race of the world championship over 30 kilometers in free style , the Pole managed to break away from her pursuers by attacking one kilometer before the end and celebrating her second world title. Towards the end of winter, Kowalczyk increased her performance one more time and added four World Cup victories as well as the World Cup final to her track record . As a result, she was able to overtake the Slovenian Petra Majdič in the overall World Cup in the last competitions , who wore the yellow jersey until the World Cup finals. After all, she was able to celebrate the overall World Cup victory on March 22, 2009, although not even a World Cup race had taken place in Poland before, so the sport was quite unpopular.

In the 2009/10 Olympic season, Kowalczyk won the Tour de Ski for the first time with three stage successes , while she won the classic 30 km and a silver (classic sprint) and a bronze (double pursuit) medal at the following Winter Olympics . At the end of the season, Kowalczyk successfully defended the overall World Cup and also took first place in the distance and sprint standings . In April 2010 she won the 60 km freestyle at the Avacha ski marathon.

In the following season 2010/11 Kowalczyk defended her title in the Tour de Ski in front of the Norwegian Therese Johaug , where she won four stages. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 2011 she won over 10 km classic and in the pursuit race silver behind Marit Bjørgen and bronze in the 30 km mass start race. At the World Cup finals, she took second place and again finished the season in first place in the overall and distance World Cup. At the beginning of the 2011/12 season she came fifth at the Nordic Opening in Kuusamo . In Rogla , she achieved her first win of the season. She won the Tour de Ski for the third time in a row. She achieved four stage wins. This was followed by nine more podium finishes in the World Cup, including four wins. At the World Cup finals, she finished fifth and came second in the overall and distance World Cups behind Marit Bjørgen. After a poor start to the following season with 27th place in Gällivare , she reached second place overall at the Nordic Opening. This was followed by two victories in the 10 km mass start race and in the skiathlon in Canmore . At the Tour de Ski 2012/13 she again took first place in the overall ranking. It won five stages. Seven more podium finishes followed, including three wins. With this she achieved her fourth victory in the overall and distance world cup. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2013 in Val di Fiemme , she won silver in the 30 km mass start race.

At the beginning of the 2013/14 season, Kowalczyk won for the fourth time in a row in the Merino pattern over 42 km freestyle. She came fourth at the Nordic Opening . In the further course of the season she won three world cup races. She did not take part in the Tour de Ski 2013/14 . In February 2014 she won gold over 10 km classic at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi . In the overall World Cup she came in 13th place and in the Distance World Cup in seventh place. The following season she reached tenth place at the Nordic Opening in Lillehammer . In the further course of the season, she ended the Tour de Ski 2015 prematurely and reached third place in the team sprint in Otepää . At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2015 in Falun , she won the bronze medal together with Sylwia Jaśkowiec . In March 2015 she won the classic Wasalauf in Sweden for the first time . At the beginning of the 2015/16 season she won the Ushuaia Loppet and the Marchablanca over 21 km classic. She finished 11th at the Nordic Opening in Ruka and 23rd at the 2016 Tour de Ski . In March 2016 at the Ski Tour Canada she came in ninth place overall with three top ten placements and reached 16th place in the overall World Cup and 13th place in the Distance World Cup. In the same month she was second in the Birkebeinerrennet . In April 2016 she won the Årefjällsloppet and the Fossavatn Ski Marathon . After 19th place in the World Cup mini tour in Lillehammer at the beginning of the 2016/17 season, she won the Alpine Cup in Valdidentro classic over 10 km and took third place over 10 km classic in Goms. In January 2017 she won the Scandinavian Cup and the Eastern Europe Cup in Minsk, each over 10 km classic. The following month, she won her 50th World Cup victory in the Pyeongchang skiathlon .
