Career

Annamari Chundak made her World Cup debut in October 2006. Until 2010 Winter Olympics she managed to qualify for knockout stage only once - on February 6, 2010, in German Sudelfeld where she was 14th. At 2010 Winter Olympics she surprisingly qualified 16th in the parallel giant slalom, but lost in the round of 16 to Marion Kreiner, finishing 16th. Later that year she became Junior World Champion in parallel giant slalom in Snow Park, New Zealand. She is also a two-time silver medalist of Winter Universiades in parallel giant slalom: in 2011 in Turkish Erzurum and 2017 in Kazakh Almaty.

At 2014 Winter Olympics she was 21st in the qualifying run of the parallel giant slalom and 21st in the parallel slalom, not advancing in either event.

In January 2015 she married and took a two-year pause in competing.

As of January 2018, her best finish is 8th, in a parallel giant slalom in Bulgarian Bansko in 2017-18 season. That season became the most successful for her: 1 finish in Top-8 and four more finishes in Top-16. 10 more times she qualified for knockout stage at World Cup predominantly in parallel giant slalom. Her best overall finish is 22nd, in 2010–11, when she thrice qualified for knockout stage.

She qualified to represent Ukraine at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
