Yekaterina Valeryevna Jurjewa ( Russian Екатерина Валерьевна Юрьева ; born June 11, 1983 in Tchaikovsky ) is a former Russian biathlete .

In the 2004/05 season Jekaterina Jurjewa made her debut in the Biathlon World Cup , where she took part in five races and achieved an 18th place in the pursuit in Pokljuka as the best placement . It wasn't until two years later, in the 2006/07 season , that it was used again in the World Cup, as the Russian team was severely decimated due to injuries, doping bans and pregnancies. She took the chance and was able to run to the top of the world. Her best result was a victory in the singles in Pokljuka 2007. In the 2007/08 season she came in second place in Hochfilzen in sprint, pursuit and relay (final runner). In Pokljuka, she won her first individual World Cup victory on December 13, 2008, with a lead of 55.1 seconds. With the relay, she also reached second place there as the final runner.

On December 29, 2007, she and her partner Dmitri Wladimirowitsch Jaroshenko won the World Team Challenge (biathlon on Schalke) in the Veltins-Arena. 2008 started less successfully for Yuryeva. In Oberhof she couldn't start because of illness, and she wasn't fit again until the relay in Ruhpolding. As the third runner, she improved her team from seventh to third place, which Russia then took in the end. At the 2008 World Championships , Jurjewa was able to improve by seven places after a ninth place in the sprint in the pursuit and won silver behind Andrea Henkel . In the individual competition, she won thanks to the only fault-free shooting performance in the field of participants and won her first world title. In the mass start she was third behind Magdalena Neuner and Tora Berger and won the bronze medal. Through two doping tests on December 4th and 5th, 2008, she was convicted of abusing rEPO and, at the same time as Albina Akhatova and Dmitri Yaroshenko, was banned temporarily in February 2009 and finally in August 2009 for two years until December 3, 2010.

Since the IBU Cup in Martell in the 2010/2011 season , Jurjewa has been actively participating in international biathlon events. On her comeback, she finished sixth in the 15 km individual race. In the middle of the season she was able to compete again in the World Cup in Presque Isle , but missed the points in her first sprint as 49th. It was only in the 2013/14 season that she continued her old achievements. At the World Cup opener in Östersund, she slipped into the team as a substitute and ousted Swetlana Slepzowa and Olga Wiluchina , among others . In the individual, he finished fourth with a shooting error. In the sprint, she finished seventh with no shooting errors. On January 28, 2014, she was temporarily suspended for doping because of an EPO -positive A sample and then resigned. As a repeat offender, she was banned for eight years until 2021. In 2015, the IBU extended the ban until 2025.
