Elena Yakovishina

For the first time she stood on mountain skis when she was three years old, her parents haven't had peace of mind ever since.

When she was 5 years old, she was admitted to Edelveis Ski School in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to be trained by honored Russian coach A. Katalagin.

Now Elena is training alone in Europe with some helps from boyfriend Cristian Simari Birkner.

She raced in Deaflympic games 2019 and did greatest results for Russian deaf alpine ski sport.
