Yuliya is pictured above (lane 6, no. 1187) crossing the finishing line to take the
Gold medal in the 100m at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Lauryn Williams (lane 4)
took the silver and Veronica Campbell (lane 3) the bronze.
Yulia Nestsiarenka is another spelling of her name.
Nestsiarenka won the women's 100 metres at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens
in 10.93 seconds, becoming the first non-black and first non-U.S. athlete to win the
event since the 1980 Summer Olympics. She ran all four times (two qualification rounds,
semifinal and final) under 11 seconds.
After the Olympic games in Athens she took an almost year-long break.
At the 2005 World Championships in Athletics in Helsinki she reached the final
in the 100 metres, though came only 8th (11.13 seconds).
