Yuliya Levchenko is a high jumper from Ukraine. She's 5'11" tall and 23 years old.
Last year she finished 4th at the World Games and 2nd in the European Indoor Championships. She won the 2017 U23 World Championship and the 2014 Youth Olympic Games. Her best jump was 2.02 m (6' 10").
She's strong, graceful, and athletic-- a beautiful combination.
@xmedleft 🇺🇦🌻 i apologise for my intemperate response. please put it down to extreme frustration at people trying to justify their use of [i]The Ukraine[/i] even after i explain their error.
@Ksmile14 And as a Ukrainian I will defer from this point on to her expertise, I will alter the language use I previously comported myself with. However; @Yulianna As a former social studies teacher I was exposed to numerous materials that stated the name of the country as "The Ukraine" even after the fall of the Soviet empire. So to say I was ignorant, that is one thing, I will admit to being misinformed and, again will alter my behavior so as to conform to what you state from your experience. I accept education on the matter. [b][i][c=#009E4F]BUT SERIOUSLY[/c][/i][/b] 4 times in just two comments to call me ignorant(2x), uninformed (as differentiated from MISinformed), a know nothing and a fool... that was rude and hostile. Take the chance to educate someone, yes, all day everytime, but can you imagine if I jumped down someone's throat every time I encountered a kid who had a piece of information that was simply a little off -- as little as the use of the word "the" in the wrong place -- They wouldn't have just fired me from teaching... they'd have fired me out of a cannon.
@Ksmile14 I don't know about interesting. Do they have a happy relaxed childhood with their parents...No. It's one big training, stress, pain, competition, diet, traumas... Russian Olimpics Reserve schools are kind of cool room and board paid. That's like starting a full time job at 5 or 6 just for fame, victory, a gold medal. Is it worth it
