About Darka Sefcik Starnova
Darka Sefcik Starnova has loved ski racing since childhood, when she also competed in children’s categories. She founded United Ski Fans as a safe space for alpine ski racing enthusiasts, both online and at the races. Through this project, she shares engaging content from the world of fandom, fan clubs, and grandstand fun — simply for the joy of it.
Darka is especially dedicated to the fan clubs of Petra Vlhová and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen. She believes alpine skiing is a sport of love, where fans treat each other with kindness and many athletes serve as role models for the younger generation.
In her professional life, Darka works in education, where she values healthy and positive role models just as strongly.
