Career

Wetlowa, like many internationally successful Russian natural track tobogganers, comes from Kandalakscha . On December 6, 1998, at the age of 15, she made her debut in the World Cup in the opening race of the 1998/1999 season in Sölden and finished tenth in this race. In the rest of the winter she was only used once in the World Cup (ninth place in Canale d'Agordo ) and she finished the season in 13th place overall. In the following season she only contested two World Cup races and again a ninth place, this time in Gummer , was her best result. In the overall classification, she was 19th. After taking part in a junior world championship for the first time last year and finishing 13th, she started at a world championship in the general class for the first time at the end of January 2000 and was twelfth. A week later she was twelfth in the European Junior Championships . In the 2000/2001 season , the Russian competed in three World Cup races and came up to the top of the world for the first time with fourth place in Moscow . Another top 10 result at the season finale in Hüttau brought her tenth place in the overall World Cup. At the 2001 World Championships in Stein an der Enns , she was twelfth and ninth at the European Junior Championships in the same year in Tiers .

In the 2001/2002 season , Wetlowa took part in all six World Cup races for the first time. She reached tenth place and was eighth in the overall standings, tied with Austrian Marlies Wagner . Two sixth places were her best World Cup results in the 2002/2003 season , but she dropped three places in the overall World Cup to eleventh place. She celebrated great successes at the Junior World Championships in 2002 in Gsies by winning the silver medal and at the 2003 Junior European Championships in Kreuth , where she won the gold medal. In the general class she managed with 15th place at the 2002 European Championships in Frantschach-Sankt Gertraud not yet a top 10 placement, but at least eighth at the 2003 World Championships in Železniki .

In the 2003/2004 season Wetlowa drove in all five World Cup races in which she participated, among the fastest seven and achieved her first two podium places in third in Moscow and Aurach . In the overall World Cup, she achieved fifth place. She was also fifth at the 2004 European Championships in Hüttau . In the next two years she was unable to follow up on these services. She did not make it into the top five in any World Cup races and only ended the 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 seasons in eleventh place overall. Without a top 10 result, she stayed eleventh at the 2005 World Cup in Latsch and twelfth at the 2006 European Championships in Umhausen . At the 2005 World Cup she also took part in the team competition, in which she finished seventh in Team Russia II, together with Alexander Jegorow , Denis Alimow and Roman Molwistow .

From the 2006/2007 season , the Russian achieved better results again. This winter, she was among the top seven in all six World Cup races and, with third place in Longiarü, achieved her third podium, the first in three years. She finished sixth in the overall World Cup. The then 23-year-old celebrated the greatest success of her career at the 2007 World Cup in Grande Prairie , Canada , when she won the silver medal behind her teammate Jekaterina Lavrentjewa , who won by over two seconds. In addition, she was fourth in the team competition with Alexander Jegorow and Pyotr Popow in Team Russia II.

Wetlowa achieved similar World Cup results as in winter 2006/2007 in the following two years. In the 2007/2008 season she was in the top eight in every race, three times in the top five and once, as third in Latsch , on the podium. For the second time after 2003/2004 she achieved fifth place in the overall World Cup. In her last World Cup season in 2008/2009 , Wetlowa was without a podium, but she achieved two fourth, two sixth and two seventh places and was sixth in the overall World Cup. After her silver medal in 2007, she was unable to win any more precious metals at major events. At the 2008 European Championships in Olang she was fifth and at the 2009 World Championships in Moos in Passeier seventh in the singles and together with Alexander Jegorow and Pyotr Popov in Team Russia II eighth in the team competition. After the 2008/2009 season, Wetlowa did not take part in any international races.
