Raisa Petrovna Smetanina, known in Russian as Раиса Петровна Сметанина, is a Komi cross-country skiing champion who was born on 29 February 1952. She represented the Soviet Union and later the Unified Team at the Winter Olympic Games. The English Wikipedia lead states that she is the first woman in history to win ten Winter Olympic medals. The lead gives only these facts, so this entry records her nationality, her birth date and her Olympic medal record, and leaves her individual Games, her race results and her World Championship career to later sourced work by other roles rather than guessing at results that the lead does not state.
