biography
Aliyeva took part in the Junior World Championships in 1995 and 1996 . The best result she achieved in 1996 was 30th in the downhill. In February 1996 she was able to score in the European Cup for the first time and in March 1997 she celebrated her first victory in an FIS race . Shortly afterwards she became the Russian giant slalom champion for the first time. By 2006 she had won a total of 13 national championship titles in the giant slalom, super-G and downhill disciplines. In February 1998, Aliyeva took part in the Olympic Winter Games in Nagano at the age of 20 as the youngest of the five-person Russian Alpine women's team. She only started in the Super-G and finished 37th. From November 1998 she took part in World Cup races, but did not yet reach the points. She first achieved better results in the European Cup when she finished in the top ten for the first time in December 1998 in the downhill from Megève . At the 1999 World Championships in Vail , she finished 33rd in the downhill, but dropped out in the Super-G.
On December 22, 1999 Alijewa reached third place in the Super-G of Alpe d'Huez for the first time in a European Cup race on the podium. The second podium she achieved on February 3, 2000 in the downhill from Villars-sur-Ollon , where she again took third place. Two weeks later she won her first World Cup points with 27th place in the downhill from Åre . Two weeks later, she celebrated her greatest success when, on March 5, 2000, with start number 41, she completely surprisingly achieved third place in the Lenzerheide World Cup downhill run , at the same time as the Austrian Renate Götschl . However, she was never able to repeat this result. Her second best World Cup result was a 25th place in the downhill from Lake Louise on December 1, 2000. At her second World Championship in St. Anton 2001 she started in the giant slalom, the Super-G and the downhill, but did not come in any of the three races to the goal. Alijewa won her last European Cup points on March 16, 2002 with 20th place in the Super-G in La Clusaz , and for the fourth and last time she achieved World Cup points on October 26, 2002 with 29th place in the giant slalom in Sölden .
After a break from injury, she started in the 2003/04 season mainly in giant slalom, later also in Super-G and downhill. At the national level she was still one of the best runners, but she was no longer successful in the World Cup or the European Cup. After she was not at the 2002 Winter Olympics and the 2003 World Cup, she took part in the 2005 World Cup in Bormio again . She only started in the giant slalom, but dropped out in the first run. The 2005/06 season was Aliyeva's last. In January 2006 she contested her last European Cup races and the last World Cup races followed in February. Her last major event was the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , where she was the only Russian to take part in the alpine competitions. She achieved 33rd place in the downhill and 42nd place in the Super-G, but was eliminated in the giant slalom. After the Olympic Games Aliyeva won her 13th and last Russian championship title and on March 31, 2006 she finished her career with a victory in the FIS giant slalom in Magnitogorsk .
