'''Marjo Tuulevi Matikainen-Kallström''' (born 3 February 1965) is a Finnish former [[politician]] and [[Cross-country skiing (sport)|cross-country skier]].

==Politics==

Matikainen-Kallström has represented the [[National Coalition Party]] (Kokoomus) in Finland. From 1996 to 2004 she was a [[Member of the European Parliament]], and from 2004 to 2015 a member of the [[Eduskunta|Finnish Parliament]].

==Athletics==

She had a very short but winning sporting career. In the six seasons she competed at a top international level, she won the [[FIS Cross-Country World Cup|World Cup]] three years in a row. At the [[1984 Winter Olympics]] in [[Sarajevo]], Matikainen-Kallström won a bronze medal in the relay aged just 19.

Four years later in [[Calgary]] she won bronze on the 10&nbsp;km race, and in the 5&nbsp;km sprint won gold after being in second place all race until the last kilometre before coming through to win, 1.3 [[second]]s ahead of [[Tamara Tikhonova]], who had to settle for silver. That same year she won another bronze medal in the relay.

At the [[1987 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships]] in [[Oberstdorf]], she won the 5&nbsp;km and silver in the 10&nbsp;km. Matikainen-Kallström finished her championship career with a fantastic [[1989 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships]] on her home soil in [[Lahti]], where she won the following medals:

Matikainen-Kallström also was the first winner of the women's 30&nbsp;km event at the [[Holmenkollen ski festival]] in 1988.

==Scholastics==
She quit competition after these championships at the age of 24 to concentrate on her studies at the [[Helsinki University of Technology]] and on politics.
