After winning silver and bronze at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Mustonen went on to win gold and silver at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble.

She competed in ten World Allround Championships from 1958 to 1968 (every year except 1959), but never managed to win a medal — a 4th place in 1964 being her best result.
