Julija Andreevna Efimova ( Russian Юлия Андреевна Ефимова , scientific transliteration Julija Andreevna Efimova ; born April 3, 1992 in Grozny ) is a Russian breaststroke swimmer . She won six titles at world championships.

Career

Efimova was born in Grozny and moved with her family to Volgodonsk in the course of the first Chechen war . Until 2011, Efimova lived in Taganrog and trained there with Irina Vyachanina. Since March 2011 she has been training with her trainer Dave Salo temporarily in the USA. In addition, she is looked after in Russia by her father Andrei Jefimow.

The first time she stepped into the international limelight at the 2007 European Short Course Championships in Debrecen , when she deliberately won all chest distances. She swam short course European records over 100 m and 200 m, with the 100 m record being the first woman to stay under 01:05 minutes.

A few months later at the European Championships in Eindhoven in 2008 , she triumphed over the 200 m chest and took silver in the 50 m chest. In the 100 m distance she missed the finals. At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing , she was fourth and fifth over the two chest stretches.

At the 2012 Olympics in London , she won the bronze medal in the 200 m chest. In 2013 she became world champion in the 200 m and second in the 100 m in Barcelona .

Doping abuse 2013

An "A-sample" of the sportswoman in October 2013 gave a positive result for the banned steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). In May 2014 she was banned from the swimming world association FINA for 16 months. All results since the control on October 31, 2013, including four title wins at the European Short Course Championships in 2013 , as well as the world records set during this time, have been canceled. According to the judgment, it was not a question of intentional doping abuse. You have relied on the information of a seller when buying a dietary supplement .

Doping and Olympics 2016

In March 2016 it became known that the substance meldonium, which has been banned since January 1, 2016, had been detected in Efimova . It was therefore temporarily blocked by the world association.
After the World Anti-Doping Agency announced new information about the duration of the breakdown of meldonium in April 2016, the ban was lifted by the world association in May 2016. Efimova was subsequently nominated for the Olympic Games by the Russian Swimming Federation.

In July 2016, Yefimova was excluded from the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro by the FINA in connection with the findings of years of systematic doping in Russia and because of her previous doping offense . However, this decision was overturned by the International Sports Court CAS, so that she was allowed to start.

In Rio de Janeiro on August 9, 2016, she won the silver medal over the 100 meter chest, to which the competitors and the audience reacted critically.

Swimming World Championships 2017

In July she won bronze in the 100 m breasts at the 2017 World Swimming Championships in Budapest and the gold medal in the 200 m breasts three days later. Two more days later, on July 30, 2017, she won the 50 m breaststroke and silver in the 4 × 100 m individual relay relay.

Swimming World Championships 2019

In 2019, Jefimowa won bronze over 50 m breast and silver over 100 m at the 2019 World Swimming Championships . In the 200 m breaststroke, she won the gold medal with a time of 2: 20.17 minutes
