Career

She started gymnastics at age 6 and began her career as a senior elite gymnast at 16, in 2001. Irina Vladimirovna Yarotskaya (her full name in her native Ukrainian) won the bronze medal on the balance beam at the 2002 World Championships in Debrecen.[1] She also placed fourth in the all-around at the 2003 World Championships in Anaheim, California and went on to win the gold for all around and silver with her team at the 2003 University Games. The following year, she was a member of the 2004 Ukrainian Olympic team, where she finished fourth with her team and sixth in the all-around. Following her retirement in 2005, she married Valeri Goncharov, a fellow Ukrainian Olympian and gold medalist on the parallel bars. She was known for her elegant lines and nice execution, as are many of the Ukrainian gymnasts.
