Timeline
Shirley Firth Larsson was the daughter of Stephen Firth (Métis) born November 20, 1922 at the Northwest Territories (NWT) and Fanny Rose Greenland (Métis) born January 21, 1922 also in NWT. Following her athletic career, Firth went on to live in France where she raised a family and lectured on the Dene and Inuit cultures. Firth died at her home in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, on 30 April 2013, at the age of 59.
She was the twin sister of fellow ski team member Sharon Firth. The sisters participated in the Territorial Experimental Ski Training program that introduced cross country skiing to northern Canada. Consequently, the sisters made the first ever Canadian cross-country ski team that competed in the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo. They credit the many important lessons they learned while trapping and hunting in their remote home community to their skiing success. In addition to the four consecutive Winter Olympics, the sisters competed in four World Ski Championships, and were members of the National Cross Country Ski Team for an unprecedented 17 consecutive years. Firth won 29 Gold medals, 10 Silver medals, and 3 Bronze medals at the Canadian National Championship level. Together, the siblings accumulated 79 medals at the national championships, including 48 national titles, figures that no other athlete has come close to reaching. Firth won a total of 42 medals out of the 79 won by both herself and Sharon.
In 1972 the Canadian Ski Association awarded Firth the John Semelink Memorial Award for her contributions to skiing in Canada, which was shared with her sister. They became the first indigenous women to be inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2015. Firth had previously received a National Aboriginal Achievement Award in the sports category in 2006. In 2008, Firth was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Banff Sports.
Shirley Firth CM (31 December 1953 in Aklavik, Northwest Territories – 30 April 2013) was a Canadian cross-country skier who competed in four consecutive Winter Olympics in 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1984.
