Rebeka Cully (née Rizmanová;[1] born 7 September 1995)[2] is a Slovak ski mountaineer, triathlete,[2] cyclist[3][4] and professional physiotherapist.[3]

Early life and career

From the age of three to seventeen, Cully was a swimmer. Her father took her to triathlon races in the summer to make up for the lack of training.[3] She stated that she would not call herself a full-time athlete, because she trains very little, but is lucky that she can get good results nonetheless.[3]

Cully graduated in physiotherapy in the Netherlands, has professional experience in a diagnostic center focusing on spiroergometry and 3D running analysis.[5][6]

In December 2025, during the first race of the 2025–26 ISMF Ski Mountaineering World Cup, Marianna Jagerčíková won a place for her at the 2026 Winter Olympics.[12] Cully finished 19th in this World Cup race. Jagerčíková finished 4th, earning Slovakia the right to two representatives.[13]
