Kanakina, Nikitina, Tararychenkova – The Beautiful Ladies And Skeleton Racers Who Represent Russia At The 2022 Olympics

Russia has always been famous for beautiful female athletes. The national women skeleton team is proof of that. Yulia Kanakina, Elena Nikitina and Alina Tararychenkova will be competing for the Olympic medals in Beijing.

Metaratings.ru will tell you about the most ladylike and gorgeous national skeleton team representing Russia at the OG-2022.

She is one of the most popular skeleton racers among women in Russia. She was included in the top 100 most beautiful women in the country in September. Yulia was born on December 11, 1995, in Krasnoyarsk. Initially, as it is supposed, the girl was engaged in truly female sports such as ballet and rhythmic gymnastics. 

A coach came to her school when Yulia was 14. He noticed her ability to run fast at one of her classes and unexpectedly offered to sign up for skeleton. Yulia thought for a long time but finally agreed. As we can see, that was a good decision!

In 2011 the athlete began to participate in international competitions. She joined the World Cup team only in the season 2014/15. Julia's first victory was at the Junior World Championships in Sigulda, and she won silver in 2018. A year later, in Altenberg, Germany, Kanakina won bronze at the Planet Cup. 

The athlete prefers to spend her free time with her family and close friends. She also likes to go for walks and travels. This is a great reset before important competitions for this young lady.  

Yulia is a real sweet tooth. However, her magnificent shape does not say so. In an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets, the athlete admitted that she could not live without sweets: 

Unfortunately, I cannot deny myself this pleasure. It seems that I inherited it from my grandmother on my mother's side. How should I not be ironic when I can even start the main meal with a dessert sometimes.

Yulia Kanakina

The most title-winning female athlete of the national team. Moreover, she is the only skeleton athlete who has ever won the Women's World Cup. Elena was born on November 2, 1992, in Moscow. As a child, she was engaged in soccer. It was quite a success as she was even a member of the Moscow national team as a forward. Elena realized that this sport was not suitable for her five years later because it was a team sport. The athlete wanted the final result to be dependent only on herself. 

After receiving high school education, Nikitina enrolled in a sports college. There was a high school sports competition in which she participated. One of the main disciplines was a skeleton. Unexpectedly for everyone, Elena won. So at the age of 16, Elena finally made her choice in favor of skeleton. 

The choice turned out to be life-changing! Today, Nikitina has four gold and one silver medal at the European Championships (in Innsbruck, Sigulda and Winterberg), three bronze medals of the World Championship (in Innsbruck and Altenberg), and the long-awaited bronze of the Olympic Games in Sochi. Let's hope that Elena will add some medals to her list of awards in Beijing.  

Elena's cherished dream is to move to Bali. In her opinion, this is the most suitable country for spiritual development.

"I could talk for hours about the atmosphere of peace of mind there. Sometimes I ride my scooter and just smile like a fool because of how good I feel.

Some so many people have moved there. My female friend, for example, went on vacation for two weeks and ended up living there for four years already and teaching yoga", - Elena said in an interview with Sport-Express.

Among the experienced skeleton athletes in the national team, there is a debutante of the Olympic Games, and her name is Alina Tararychenkova. Her recent silver medal at the World Cup in Altenberg helped a lot.

Alina was born on March 29, 2000, in Orel. Before skeleton, the young lady took up track and field, but the great desire for extreme sports made her prefer to participate in the skeleton. Alexander Zaitsev became her coach. 

Alina joined the Russian national team just over a year ago. The 21-year-old sportswoman just started her career. At the same time, she has a silver medal at the World Cup and a gold medal at the European U20 Championship. Her idol is Aleksandr Tretyakov, with whom she will go to Beijing for Olympic medals. We hope she will succeed. 

Tararychenkova pays attention not only to the skeleton but also to education. She studies at the Department of Theory and Methodology of Track and Field Athletics of the Russian State University of Physical Education and Sport. After her career is over, Alina is seriously planning to go into healthcare. 

Skeleton athlete's favorite country is Norway. She is impressed by its unique nature and amazing purity. The best vacation for Alina is to have fun with friends and relatives. 

Such charming skeleton players will represent the Russian national team at the Olympic Games in Beijing. With all our heart, we support the young Russian ladies!
