| Birthday | Feb 18 |
| Birth Year | 1972 |
Alexandra Timoshenko is one of the most popular and richest Gymnast who was born on February 18, 1972 in Bohuslav, Ukraine. Alexandra Alexandrovna Timoshenko, or Olexandra Olexandrivna Tymoshenko, (Ukrainian: Олександра Олександрівна Тимошенко , born 18 February 1972) is a former individual rhythmic gymnast who competed for the Soviet Union. She is the 1992 Olympics champion, 1988 Olympics bronze medalist, 1989 World all-around champion, 1991 World all-around silver medalist and two time (1988, 1990) European all-around champion. Along with Tetiana Hutsu, and Oleh Kucherenko, Oleksandra Tymoshenko also was among the first Olympians in honor of which at the 1992 Olympics was raised the Ukrainian flag and played the Ukrainian anthem.
Although the Ukrainian Federation tried to persuade her to continue after the 1992 Olympics, Timoshenko opted to retire from the sport at the age of 20. She enrolled in the Goethe Institute to study German language, while simultaneously completing her studies at the Kiev University of Physical Culture and Sports. She spent some time coaching in Germany before getting married and making a permanent move to Vienna, Austria.
Tymoshenko continued her rise in 1989, taking five out of six golds at the Sarajevo World Championships. Her streak would continue through numerous other international competitions, although she started to feel the pressure from up- and-coming teammates. She would grab her second European title in 1990, but spent the rest of the year struggling against the steadily rising Oksana Skaldina. In 1991, Timoshenko seemed poised to earn her second World title after a very strong early season. However, in Athens Timoshenko’s difficulty level could not match Skaldina’s and the former World champion had to settle for silver. At the event finals she was able to sweep the gold medals on all four apparatus.
