Olena Hovorova Biography

Olena Hovorova is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on September 18, 1973 in Izmail, Ukraine. Olena Ivanivna Hoverova (Ukrainian: Olena Ivanivna Govorova born 18 September 1973 in Izmail) is also called Yelena Govorova is an ex- Ukrainian athletics track and field who was a specialist in triple jump events. She was awarded the bronze medal for triple jump during the 2000 Summer Olympics with her personal record jump of 14.96 meters. She was a representative of Ukraine in the Olympics in 1996 three-year, 2000-year, as well as the 2004 triple jump contests which were the three first Olympic competitions in the sport. She also participated in the five successive World Championships in Athletics from 1995 until 2003.

She was awarded her triple-jump gold medals at Summer Universiade in 1997 and 1999, the first time that an athlete was awarded the title. She she also won an Olympic bronze at 1997’s World Championships in Athletics. Although she frequently made the top ten at events but she never made it to the top of the list in major competitions. A bronze and a silver of the European Cup in Athletics and one bronze at the 2000 Goodwill Games are the other notable medals she earned during her career.

Following a strong showing with an indoor personal best of 14.55 m for fourth at the 2000 European Athletics Indoor Championships, she took advantage of Inessa Kravets’ suspension for steroids use to assert herself as the top Ukrainian by jumping a personal best of 14.96 m for the bronze medal at the 2000 Summers Olympics triple jump contest. The following year she won another bronze for a jump of 14.25 m at the 2001 Goodwill Games. She failed to maintain this form and registered sub-14-metre jumps at both the 2001 World Championships in Athletics and the 2002 European Athletics Championships, clearly out of medal contention at both competitions.

She regained her form for the following year, recording a jump of 14.81 m at a minor meeting in France and going on to take seventh at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics (14.38 m) and sixth at the inaugural IAAF World Athletics Final (14.46 m). She jumped a decent 14.59 m at the 2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but this was only enough for eighth place in the final as Tatyana Lebedeva’s world record leap of 15.36 m signified an improvement in the standard of the women’s event. Hovorova upped her game at the 2004 European Cup in Athletics and won the bronze with a season’s best jump of 14.78 m. This was to be her premature peak to the season, however, as a mark of 14.35 m brought her only tenth place at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens and her final performance of the year yielded only eighth place at the 2004 IAAF World Athletics Final.

The 1997 season was an important breakthrough for her beginning in the indoors with a personal record of 14.13 m to place seventh during the 1997 IAAF World Indoor Championships and winning her first major trophy later in the season at the World Championships in Athletics. A new personal-best jump of 14.67 meters was enough to earn her the bronze medal in absence of Kravets. She was awarded her triple-jump medal medal at the 1997 Summer Universiade, and closed the year in fourth place in the 1997 IAAF Grand Prix Final.

Hovorova attended her very first Olympic Games the year after she competed in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in Atlanta, where she placed 9th in the triple-jump finals with the jump at 14.09 m. Her performance was largely dominated by fellow countryman Inessa Kravets who took home the silver medal. She placed sixth in the 1996 European Athletics Indoor Championships, however, Hovorova was able to take home the silver medal at the 1996 European Cup in Athletics that year.

After an uneventful 1998, in which she finished sixth at the 1998 European Athletics Championships, she retained her Universiade title at the 1999 Summer Universiade – the first athlete ever to do so.
