Tatiana first came into the eye of the Australian public
in the 2000 Sydney Olympics when she won the silver
medal in the pole vault with a personal best of 4.55m
(2000).
She had been producing results for Australia in
athletics since 1998, in the Goodwill Games where she
came 2nd for the pole vault.
The Russian vaulter won her first medal (bronze) at the
1999 IAAF World Championships.
Her vaulting has progressed over the years, with her
starting vault in 1996 being at a height of 3.80metres
and her current personal best being a height of
4.55metres set during the 200 Olympics.
Tatiana's popularity has taken a huge leap since the
Olympics. She has released a line of clothing, has
appeared on the cover of many magazines such as Inside
Sport, Ralph and New Idea and was also the face of the
2000 Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.
She has her own website at www.tatiana.com.au featuring
a pictorial that follows her modelling career.
As a tall blonde bombshell, Tatiana Grigorieva is a
woman not to be messed with. Australia is behind their
adopted vaulter and wishes her the best in vaults to
come. |
