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.

@assemblingaknob yes start at 5 or 6 years old and training starts at 6 am every day. But they are aimed at Olimpics from the beginning so they are mentally prepared to train for the next 10 years lol Crazy. In Russia they have Olimpics Reserve schools where they live and train, they don't live with their families anymore.
@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
