Personal life

[edit]

Yefimova was born in Grozny. However, due to the First Chechen War, her family moved to Volgodonsk soon after. There she took up swimming at the age of six, coached by her father Andrey Yefimov.[3] Until 2011, she lived in Taganrog, where she trained under Irina Vyatchanina and studied at the Southern Federal University.[3] In March 2011, she moved to California, United States, where she was coached by Dave Salo, the head coach of the University of Southern California swimming team.[4]

Career

[edit]

2007–2009: World record at 17 years of age

[edit]

Yefimova's first notable achievement was winning the 50 metre, 100 metre, and 200 metre breaststroke titles at the 2007 European Short Course Swimming Championships. At 15 years of age, she set her first European record and Russian national record in the short course 200 metre breaststroke with her time of 2:19.08 in the final that won her the gold medal in the event.[5] At the 2008 European Aquatics Championships she was the gold medalist in the 200 metre breaststroke and the silver medalist in the 50 metre breaststroke. Yefimova competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing when she was 16, placing fourth in the 100 metre breaststroke and fifth in the 200 metre breaststroke.[1] In the prelims heats of the 100 metre breaststroke, she ranked second overall, swimming a new European record and Russian record time of 1:06.08 and finishing behind only Leisel Jones of Australia.[6] At the 2009 World Aquatics Championships in Rome, Italy, Yefimova won the gold medal in the 50 metre breaststroke in a world record time of 30.09 seconds at 17 years of age.[7]

Yefimova won gold medals at the 2010 European Aquatics Championships in the 50 metre and 100 metre breaststroke events. The following year, at the 2011 World Aquatics Championships, she won the silver medal in the 200 metre breaststroke with a Russian record time of 2:22.22, finishing less than one second behind the gold medalist in the event Rebecca Soni of the United States.[8][9][10][11] In 2012, she earned the bronze medal in the 200 metre breaststroke at the 2012 Summer Olympics with a new European record time of 2:20.92.[12] A year later, at the 2013 World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona, Yefimova triumphed in the 200 metre breaststroke with a time of 2:19.41.[13] In the 50 metre breaststroke prelims heats, she achieved a new world record of 29.78 seconds.[14] She won the finals, finishing first in 29.52 seconds.[15]

Suspension, disqualifications

[edit]

In January 2014, it was announced that Yefimova had failed an out of competition drug test in October 2013.[16] Her positive test was for DHEA, an endogenous steroid hormone banned in professional sports.[17] On 13 May 2014, she was disqualified by FINA for 16 months, from 31 October 2013 to 28 February 2015.[16][18] She was stripped of her results and medals at the 2013 European Short Course Championships. Her four world short-course records (two relays and the 50 metre and 200 metre breaststroke set in November/December 2013) were also invalidated.[16][19][20][21]

In August 2015, after 16 months of disqualification due to the positive drug test, Yefimova competed at the World Aquatics Championships in Kazan. She won a gold medal in the 100 metre breaststroke with a time of 1:05.66 that was seven tenths of a second faster than the next fastest swimmer, Rūta Meilutytė of Lithuania.[22] In the 50 metre breaststroke Yefimova won the bronze medal at 30.13 seconds.[23] In the 200 metre breaststroke she placed 17th in the prelims heats with a time of 2:26.11 and did not advance to the semifinals.[24] She also placed fifth in the 4 × 100 metre mixed medley relay, splitting a 1:05.46 for the breaststroke leg of the relay.[25]

2016

[edit]

Between 15 February and 30 March 2016, Yefimova tested positive for meldonium six times in total.[26] She was provisionally suspended from international competition by the International Swimming Federation (FINA) on 14 March.[27] With no research on how long the drug stayed in a person's system, she was not banned or given a suspension.[28][29][30] In June 2016, Yefimova returned to competition at the Los Angeles Invitational, winning the 200 metre breaststroke with a time of 2:22.77.[31]

2016 Summer Olympics

[edit]
See also: Swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics

Yefimova was the silver medalist at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the 100 metre breaststroke and 200 metre breaststroke.[32][33] She also helped set a new Russian national record as part of the 4 × 100 metre medley relay that placed sixth with a time of 3:55.66 in the finals, splitting the fastest breaststroke leg of all finals relays with a time of 1:04.98.[34]

Yefimova's participation in the 2016 Summer Olympics was controversial due to doping within the Russian Olympic team.[29][35] She was initially banned from participation due to her previous doping suspension,[36] but this ban was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport,[37] allowing her to compete. During the Games, she was booed by spectators during each of her races.[38] Yefimova was also criticized for taking performance-enhancing drugs by other swimmers, including Lilly King, who won the gold medal in the 100 metre breaststroke. Yefimova won the silver, and during the news conference afterwards, she was "on the verge of tears from the opening question about the boos directed at her."[39][40] After Yefimova won silver in the 100 metre breaststroke, ESPN pushed back directly against her presence at the 2016 Olympic Games, stating "Yulia Efimova shouldn't have been in Rio at all".[41] The treatment of Yefimova was also covered by The Washington Post, which pointed out the asymmetry in how people responded to Yefimova competing at the 2016 Summer Olympics compared to the response when Jessica Hardy of the United States competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[42]

2017

[edit]

At the 2017 New South Wales State Open Championships in March in Sydney, Australia, Yefimova won the 200 metre breaststroke event with a time of 2:28.80.[43] She also won the 100 metre breaststroke with a time of 1:06.55.[44] A month later, she won the 50 metre breaststroke at the 2017 Russian Championships with a time of 29.88 seconds.[45]

With her, and all other Russians's, outfit, national song, and cohort name selected by the International Olympic Committee, Yefimova competed in the 2020 Summer Olympic Games for the Russian Olympic Committee.[75][76][77][78] These representation items stemmed from the Court of Arbitration for Sport ban on Russians due to widespread doping in Russia and lasting 24 months from December 2020 to December 2022.[79][80]

2022–2023

[edit]

Yefimova was impacted by a nationality ban enacted by LEN and implemented on 3 March 2022, which permanently banned all Russians and Belarusians from their competitions, including the 2022 European Aquatics Championships, with no date of re-entry communicated at the time the ban took effect.[103] The second ban for her nationality came from FINA, which barred all Russians and Belarusians from their competitions effective 21 April 2022 and lasting at least through 31 December 2022.[104] For non-FINA events she and other Russians were not banned from, their times did not count towards world rankings nor world records.[105] In April 2023, World Aquatics (formerly FINA) provided clarity that they had extended their 2022 ban in a back-acting manner and they were indefinitely still in effect.[106]
