Career

In 1999 she became youth world champion when she won in Bydgoszcz with 1.89 m. At the Junior World Championships in Santiago de Chile in 2000 , Tschitscherowa was fourth with 1.85 m, Blanka Vlašić won with 1.91 m. In 2001 at the Junior European Championships in Grosseto she finished second with 1.90 m behind the Romanian Ramona Pop who jumped 1.92 m.

She won her first medal in the adult class at the 2003 World Indoor Championships in Birmingham. Behind Kajsa Bergqvist (SWE) and her compatriot Jelena Jelessina she received bronze for 1.99 m. At the 2003 World Championships in Paris, she finished sixth with 1.95 m. In 2004 at the World Indoor Championships in Budapest, she jumped 2.00 m and won silver behind Jelena Slessarenko with 2.04 m. At the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, Chicherova jumped 1.96 m and took sixth place.

Anna Tschitscherowa managed the only jump over 2.01 m at the European Indoor Championships 2005 in Madrid ; she won gold in front of the Spaniard Ruth Beitia (1.99 m). In Helsinki at the 2005 World Championships she was fourth with 1.96 m at the same height to the bronze medal of Emma Green . Chicherova won gold at the Universiade 2005 in Izmir with a gold medal of 1.90 m . At home in Moscow, the World Indoor Championships took place in early 2006 , but Chicherova had to take a break due to an injury. At the European Championships in Gothenburg in 2006 , Anna Tschitscherowa was not yet in the form of previous years; with 1.95 m she was seventh. At the European Indoor Championships in 2007, the Russian took seventh place with 1.92 m. In the 2007 outdoor season she found her way back to old strength. In Osaka at the 2007 World Championships , she jumped 2.03 m, her personal best, and won silver behind Blanka Vlašić.

2008 in Beijing Anna Tschitscherowa launched for the second time at the Olympics. This time she jumped as one of four athletes over two meters, also the 2.03 m, her personal best, she jumped in the first attempt, but after that she failed three times at the victory height of 2.05 m. The gold medal was surprisingly won by Tia Hellebaut in front of the big favorite Blanka Vlašić . Behind them, the Russian first won the bronze medal, which she was stripped of eight years later for doping . She also lost a silver medal won at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin in 2018 because of doping.

In 2010 Chicherova became the mother of a daughter. A year later she surprisingly won gold at the World Championships in Daegu with 2.03 m in front of the big favorite Blanka Vlašić, who jumped the same height. In the same year, she screwed her personal best to 2.07 m, which brought her to third place on the best list of all time. In 2012, Chicherova became Olympic champion in London . With a jump of 2.05 meters, she won the gold medal two centimeters ahead of second-placed Brigetta Barrett (USA). She won the bronze medal at the World Championships in Moscow in 2013 and in Beijing in 2015 .

doping

On October 6, 2016, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that Chicherova was subsequently disqualified from the 2008 Olympic Games because traces of the anabolic Turinabol were found in a retest of her doping samples . The bronze medal should therefore go to fourth-placed Russian Jelena Slessarenko . However, since she and the fifth-placed Ukrainian Wita Palamar were subsequently convicted of doping with Turinabol, the medal ultimately went to the sixth-placed American Chaunté Lowe . The IOC rejected your objection to the withdrawal of the bronze rank in autumn 2017.

In its announcement No. 189 of January 31, 2018, the World Athletics Federation IAAF announced that Chicherova also lost her silver medal at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin , as all results from August 24, 2008 to August 23, 2010 were revoked. It was blocked from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018.
