Renata Kolarova (born 14 April 1966) is a Swiss former speed skier. She won the bronze medal in the women's speed skiing demonstration event at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.[1]

At the 1992 Olympics, Kolarova and the rest of the Swiss team were given the choice to race or withdraw after the death of their team colleague Nicolas Bochatay in a training run. Kolarova and Silvano Meli decided to compete while two other male racers withdrew.[2] In the competition, Kolarova placed third with a speed of 210.526 kilometres per hour (131 mph).[3]
