Diana ZiliuteDiana Ziliute is a Lithuanian cyclist (born: May 28, 1976) who dominated the sport in the late 1990s and continues to be a formidable force in road cycling to this day. She made her debut in the women's pro cycling ranks in the mid 1990s after winning the 1994 World Junior Road Race Championship. She rose to the top of women's cycling in 1998 when she won 2 World Cup races, the overall World Cup Ponts title, and capped the season by winning the World Road Race Championships and leading the UCI points list.
