Maryna Gąsienica-Daniel (born 19 February 1994)[2] is a World Cup alpine ski racer from Poland. She has represented her country at four Winter Olympics and seven World Championships.
Career
She competed for Poland at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the alpine skiing events,[3][4] and was 32nd in the giant slalom.[5] She finished 34th in the giant slalom at the World Championships in 2013,[1] and won a gold medal in giant slalom at the 2013 Winter Universiade.[6] She was also fifth in the giant slalom at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Quebec.[7] At the 2021 World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, she placed joint fifth in the parallel giant slalom and sixth in the giant slalom.[7] She injured her knee during a race at Soldeu in March 2025 and missed the rest of the season.[8]
Family
She is from a winter sports family: her grandfather Franciszek Gąsienica Daniel was a competitive skier.[7][9] Although he did not compete at the Winter Olympics, Maryna is the seventh member of her family to represent Poland at the Winter Games: the others include Franciszek's siblings Helena Gąsienica Daniel (cross-country skiing), Andrzej Gąsienica Daniel (ski jumping), Maria Gąsienica Daniel-Szatkowska (alpine skiing) and Józef Gąsienica Daniel (nordic combined), as well as one of her maternal great-grandfathers, cross-country skier Andrzej Krzeptowski, and Maryna's sister, alpine racer Agnieszka Gąsienica-Daniel.[1][7]
Her parents run a hostel in the Tatra Mountains. She is god-daughter of Sebastian Karpiel-Bułecka, frontman of the folk group Zakopower.[7]
