Tatiana Grigorieva Biography

Tatiana Grigorieva is one of the most popular and richest Athletics Competitor who was born on October 8, 1975 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Tatiana Vladimirovna Grigorieva (Russian: Tat’iana Vladimirovna’s Grigor’eva ; born on the 8th of October, 1975, in Leningrad, Soviet Union) is an ex- Australian Pole vaulter. She quit pole vaulting in the year 2007 following an 11-year career that saw her earn Olympic, Commonwealth and World Championship medals. She then appeared in the sixth series of Dancing with the Stars and as Olympia in the 2008 revive of Gladiators.

In the 2001 World Championships in Canada, facing a tough competition due to an injury-shy season, Grigorieva equalled her personal best to place fourth place. In the final race in the series, just as she had at the Olympics she came very close to the record with a jump of 4.56 meters (a personal record for a jump) at Yokohama.

In 2003 and 2004, despite maintaining a high standard and a place amongst the world’s best, injury, illness and the emotional strain of her marriage breakup, resulted in her missing opportunities to represent Australia in the World Championships and Olympics. In 2005, Grigorieva put all that behind her, changing her training regime, place of residence and focus in life. She had a successful season, making the finals of the World Championships and winning the Osaka Grand Prix to retain her Japanese record set in 2001.

In 2006 Grigorieva’s focus was defending her title at the Commonwealth Games in front of her home crowd. The untimely, mysterious loss of her vaulting poles and a nagging hamstring injury days before the event saw her competing at a slight disadvantage. However, she walked away with a silver medal in a performance that was close to her very best. 2006 was clearly her best ever international season where she jumped over 4.5 m six times and recorded two new personal best heights within days of each other and regained a place in the top five.

It was at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney when she was thrust into the limelight and became an international star. On the night Cathy Freeman won gold, the Australian viewers at home had the pleasure of watching Grigorieva perform a personal best jump and also win silver. The following fame was a huge boost to Grigorieva engage in a range of commitments off the field, while training and competing.
