There is no mention anywhere of partners, male or female which seems strange in that she was an attractive lady.

This may help a little: https://www.official.../Divina-Galica/
Anita Elford, who is mentioned in the information appears to be Vic Elford's widow.

Interesting. Her house seems very cheap though.

More info about Divina : she was supposed to take part in an Indy Racing League rookie test at New Hampshire in mid-1996, as Lyn St James was trying to set up a women-driver team , but was prevented from doing so as she along with 4 others driver ran out of time after a prior crash.

I took a look through some of my skiing related articles that she wrote, one of which touches on racers who get married but she didn't drop any hints as to her own partner status.
Incidentally, despite the success of current British slalom racer Dave Ryding, the British record for highest World Cup season placing is still held by Divina I believe (6th in downhill, 1967/68).

I also remember noticing the lack of personal information when I was trying to learn about her career. The only thing I can recall is that this person was in love with her but she "spent years turning down his marriage offers". It's all none of our business of course but I can understand why the question arose as I was wondering about it myself.
