In 1964, Boyarskikh won her first Soviet titles, in the 5 km and relay, and was selected for the Olympic Games.

There she ran the fastest leg of the 3 × 5 km relay, and became the first female cross-country skier to win all Olympic events.

Boyarskikh retired in 1968 and until her death worked as a skiing coach with Lokomotiv Sverdlovsk.

Since 1970, the annual Klavdiya Boyarskikh Cup in cross-country skiing is held in Sverdlovsk (formerly and now Yekaterinburg).
