Athletic career

Iryna Schuk gained her first experience in international competitions at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore , where she finished second in the B final. In 2012 she was eliminated from the qualification at the Junior World Championships in Barcelona with 3.95 m. In 2015, she narrowly missed a medal in fourth at the U23 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia . In 2016, she qualified for the European Championships in Amsterdam , where she finished twelfth in the final. A few weeks later she retired from the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro with 4.15 m in qualification .

In 2017 she was twelfth at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade and second in the high jump at the European Team Championships in France. With her 4.60 m skipped there, she also qualified for the World Championships in London , where she was eliminated from the qualification without a jumped height . At the Summer Universiade in Taipei she won ahead of Annika Roloff , because she skipped the 4.45 m in second place, which was probably a tactical mistake, because Schuk had three failed attempts above this height. With a jump of 4.45 m, Roloff would have won gold, but now had to conquer 4.50 m, which she did not succeed.

So far she has been four times Belarusian champion in the open air and in the hall.

On April 21, 2017 she married the Belarusian decathlete Wital Schuk and has since started under the name Schuk .
