Sporting Background:

I started to get involved in competitive sport at the age of seven when I joined the local Ski Club. Within a few years I was among the top three at the National Championship of Russia. As a result I was awarded a scholarship for the Olympic Biathlon Training College in St. Petersburg. At the Muju-Chonju (South Korea) Winter Universiade in 1997, my fifth major international competition, I won three out of three gold medals for Russia. After being chosen to join the Olympic team in 1996 I won numerous national titles as well as several medals in individual and relay at European Cups and World Cups. Due to an injury in 1999 I was forced to take a break from competing but fortunately I was back on and 2nd place. Coached Youth relay team who finished 11th track after one year.

To further my education I moved to Ireland and in 2004 and started to compete in triathlon. I won the Triathlon National Championship title four years in a row (2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010). In 2010 I won Triathlon National Championship in all 3 distances - Sprint, Olympic and Middle/Half Ironman.
