Lyubov Ivanovna Yegorova (Russian: Любо́вь Ива́новна Его́рова; born May 5, 1966, Seversk), name also spelled Ljubov Egorova, is a Russian former cross-country Olympic ski champion, many times world champion (first time in 1991), winner of the World Cup (1993) and Hero of Russia. Lyubov Yegorova is an honorable citizen of Seversk (1992), Saint Petersburg (1994), and Tomsk Oblast (2005).
Yegorova won several medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships with three golds (4x5 km: 1991, 1993; 30 km: 1991), one silver (5 km: 1993), and two bronzes (5 km + 10 km combined pursuit, 30 km: 1993). She also won the women's 15 km event at the Holmenkollen ski festival in 1994. Additionally, Yegorova won a total of eight medals at the Winter Olympics, earning five golds and three silver. She won the Holmenkollen medal in 1994 (shared with Vladimir Smirnov and Espen Bredesen).
[edit] Doping controversy
Yegorova's career ended at the 1997 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim when she was disqualified for doping on bromantan, an anabolic steroid. She was disqualfied on February 26, 1997, three days after winning gold in the women's 5 km event, and stripped of that medal. Yegorova's gold would go to fellow Russian Yelena Välbe.
