She had both her legs amputated at the age of three due to an accident with a lorry. At the age of 12, she decided that she wanted to ski and contacted Ecke Lindgren, who constructed a sit-ski for her.〔 She achieved a major success at the 1990 World Championships where she took all five gold medals at Winter Park in Colorado.〔 After this win, a charity was set up in her name to support athletes from her municipality. At the 1992 Winter Paralympics she took a gold medal at Albertville in the Giant Slalom; her time of 2:36:78 beat Shannon Bloedel and Candace Cable of the USA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tignes-Albertville 1992 Paralympic Winter Games – Alpine Skiing – Women's Giant Slalom LW10-11 )〕 Ruth then hurt her back and did no further events.
