Career

Gavrilova represented Russia at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she competed in the women's individual sabre event, along with her teammate Sofiya Velikaya, who eventually won a silver medal in the final. She defeated Kazakhstan's Yuliya Zhivitsa in the first preliminary round, before losing out her next match to China's Zhu Min, with a final score of 11–15.[5]

At the 2016 Summer Olympics, she was part of the Russian team that won gold in the women's team sabre event.[2]

She began fencing in 1999, when Victoria Yuzhakova, a fencing coach, came to her school looking for children who wanted to try fencing.[6]
