Yuliya Yefimova is one of the most popular and richest Swimmer who was born on April 3, 1992 in Grozny, Russia. Yuliya andreyevna Yefimova, Russian: Iulia Andreevna Efimova, also romanized Efimova, was born on 3 April 1992. She is a Russian competitive swimmer. She made her Olympic debut in 2008. In 2012, she won the bronze medal in 200m breaststroke. In 2016, she was awarded silver in 100m and 200m breaststroke. She is a six time World Champion. She won the 50m breaststroke (2009, 2013), 100m breaststroke (2015) and 200m breaststroke (2013 to 2017, 2017 and 2019). She holds the 50m breaststroke world record.
Yefimova failed an October 2013 out-of-competition drug test. It was reported in January 2014. Yefimova was positive for DHEA, an exogenous steroid hormone that is banned in professional sports. She was disqualified from the 31st of October 2013 to the 28th February 2015 for 16 months. She also lost her medals and results at the 2013 European Short Course Championships. Also, her four world short-course records, two relays and the 50m and 200m breaststroke sets in November/December 2013, were invalidated.
After 16 months of disqualification due to a positive drug test, Yefimova in August 2015 for the first time won the gold medal in 100 m at the World Aquatics Championships, with 1:05.66. In 50 m she was third with 30.13. However, in 200 m she was eliminated in the semifinals; she was 17th.
Yefimova’s participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics was controversial in light of an ongoing scandal of doping within the Russian Olympic Team. She was initially banned from participation due to her previous doping suspension, but this ban was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, allowing her to compete. During the Games, she was booed by spectators during each of her races. Yefimova was also criticized for taking performance-enhancing drugs by other swimmers, including Lilly King, who won the gold medal in the 100 m breaststroke. Yefimova won the silver, and during the news conference afterwards, she was “on the verge of tears from the opening question about the boos directed at her.”
Yefimova was originally born in Grozny. However, her family moved to Volgodonsk after the First Chechen War. At six years old, Yefimova began swimming under the guidance of her father Andrey Yufimov. She lived in Taganrog until 2011, where she was coached by Andrey Yefimov and studied at Southern Federal University. She moved to California in March 2011, where Dave Salo, her head coach at the University of Southern California swimming club, coached her.
