female Olympic champion
A female athlete who has won the gold medal in her discipline at the Olympic Games.
Die Olympiasiegerin im Eiskunstlauf wurde bei ihrer Rückkehr in die Heimatstadt gefeiert.
The female Olympic champion in figure skating was celebrated when she returned to her hometown.
The word is clearly made up of 'Olympia' (reference to the Olympic Games) and 'Siegerin' (female winner). 'Siegerin' itself derives from the word 'der Sieg' (victory) and is the feminine form for a person who wins.
Als Kind träumte sie davon, eines Tages Olympiasiegerin zu werden.
As a child, she dreamed of becoming an Olympic champion one day.
To name the sport in which the person won, you use the preposition 'in' followed by the dative. So the pattern is: Olympiasiegerin in + [name of the sport].
Sie ist die amtierende Olympiasiegerin im Weitsprung.
She is the reigning female Olympic champion in long jump.
Common combinations are 'Olympiasiegerin werden' (to become a female Olympic champion), 'zur Olympiasiegerin gekürt werden' (to be crowned female Olympic champion), or descriptions such as 'ehemalige' (former) or 'amtierende' (reigning) Olympic champion.
Die ehemalige Olympiasiegerin arbeitet heute als Trainerin.

'die Meisterin' and 'die Olympiasiegerin' can both refer to a successful female athlete with a title. 'die Meisterin' is more general and fits many championships and competitions. 'die Olympiasiegerin' is much more precise: she has won gold at the Olympic Games. Learners may confuse the words because both are used after a major victory. But 'Olympiasiegerin' always says something about the special setting of the success: the Olympic Games.
Viele Kinder trainieren, weil sie einmal eine Olympiasiegerin sehen möchten.
Many children train because they would like to see an Olympic champion one day.
