Jelena Wladimirowna Sobolewa ( Russian Елена Владимировна Соболева , English transcription Yelena Soboleva ; born October 3, 1982 in Brjansk , Russian SFSR , Soviet Union ) is a former Russian middle-distance runner .

Athletic career

After a sixth place in the 1500-meter run at the U23 European Championships in 2003 , Sobolewa made his breakthrough in the world class in 2005. At the World Championships in Helsinki in 2005 , the four Russians Tatiana Tomaschowa , Julija Tschischenko , Olga Jegorowa and Sobolewa dominated the 1,500 meter race. Sobolewa did the lead work until the last lap, then Tschischenko and Maryam Yusuf Jamal from Bahrain sprinted to the top. While Tomaschowa overtook both, Chischenko pushed Yamal off the track. Tomaschowa, Tschischenko and Jegorowa were ahead at the finish. One second behind Egorova, the French Bouchra Ghezielle and Sobolewa sprinted for places with Jamal and crossed the finish line within four hundredths of a second. After a protest by the team management from Bahrain, Tschischenko was disqualified for obstructing Yamal. Ghezielle received the bronze medal and Sobolewa was now fourth with 4: 02.48 minutes and 0.01 seconds ahead of Jamal in fifth place.

In February 2006 Soboleva won the Russian Championships in Moscow in front of Tschischenko. With her indoor world record of 3: 58.28 minutes, Sobolewa was the favorite for the indoor world championships in Moscow , which were to take place a month later. At the world championships, however, Tschischenko won, Sobolewa was second in 4: 05.21 minutes ahead of Yamal. In June, Sobolewa won the Russian championship in Tula in front of Valentina Panteleeva and Olga Egorova. At the beginning of July Sobolewa set her personal best at the Meeting Gaz de France as second behind Tschischenko with 3: 56.43 min. For the European Championships in Gothenburg the Russian Federation nominated the two world champions Tomaschowa and Tschischenko as well as the Russian champion Sobolewa. In the final, Sobolewa set the pace for her teammates and after a very fast race Tomaschowa won ahead of Tschischenko. Sobolewa was fourth in 4: 00.36 minutes behind Bulgarian Daniela Jordanova , who had passed her on the home straight.

In 2007, Sobolewa led the annual world best list with 3: 57.30 minutes, which she ran in Moscow at the end of June. At the fastest meeting of the year in Athens on July 2nd, Sobolewa won in 3: 58.30 minutes ahead of Jamal. At the World Championships in Osaka , a very fast race was run again, but Jamal did not engage in a duel with the Russians in any phase of the final, but sprinted past on the home straight outside. Jamal ultimately won in 3: 58.75 minutes ahead of Sobolewa in 3: 58.99 minutes. Jamal also won the World Athletics Final in Stuttgart ahead of Sobolewa, who was the best in the world and lost the two most prestigious races of the year against Jamal.

On February 10, 2008, she improved her 1500 m world record at the Russian Indoor Championships to 3: 58.05 min, and at the Indoor World Championships in Lisbon she won the title with another world record (3: 57.71 min). On July 18, she ran the fastest time a woman over 800 m in nine years with 1: 54.85 minutes .

Jelena Sobolewa started for Luch Moscow and had a competition weight of 66 kg with a height of 1.76 m.

2008 doping ban

A little later, a week before the start of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, it was temporarily banned by the IAAF for violating the anti- doping guidelines . DNA analysis revealed that she and six other Russian athletes had fraudulently given urine to other people during doping tests . The manipulated samples were from the spring of 2007. As a result, all results since April 26, 2007 were canceled, which deprived her of the medals from the 2007 and 2008 World Indoor Championships as well as her two world indoor records from this period. In 2008 the Russian Federation announced that the beginning of the due two-year ban would have been set for April 2007, so that Sobolewa could have started at the 2009 World Championships . The IAAF sued the International Court of Justice for Sports ( CAS) and won the right in July 2009, so that the ban, which has now been set for two years and nine months, was valid from July 2008 to April 2011.

Doping charge 2020

At the end of March 2020, the AIU independent integrity commission of the world athletics association World Athletics announced that it had initiated proceedings against Kondratyeva on the basis of evidence from the McLaren Report . The CAS must now decide on the case.
