Yelyzaveta Zorkina (Belarusian: Елізавета Зоркіна; born 25 January 2006) is a Belarusian individual rhythmic gymnast of Ukrainian descent.[1]

Career

[edit]

Junior

[edit]

Zorkina started to appear internationally in 2018, participating in various tournaments and winning medals.[2][3] In November 2020 she was part of the team that represented Belarus at the European Championships in Kyiv, that were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, competing with ball and clubs.[4] She made it to both apparatus finals, winning bronze with ball behind Polina Karika and Stiliana Nikolova, and silver with clubs behind Daria Atamanov and ahead Evelin Viktória Kocsis.[5]

In 2021 Yelyzaveta took part in the 2021 Moscow Grand Prix,[6] in May in the Irina Deleanu Cup[7] where she won bronze with ribbon.[8]

Senior

[edit]

In 2022 she turned senior but following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February gymnasts from Belarus were also forbidden to participate in FIG events.[9] Zorkina, like many other Russian and Belarusian gymnasts then started attending bilateral tournaments between the two nations, or open competitions[10] such as Crystal Rose (where she was 7th in the All-Around)[11] or the UAE International Gymnastika Cup.[12][13]
