Olena Iurkovska

Olena Yuriyivna Iurkovska, born 27 September 1983, is a Ukrainian Paralympic cross-country skier and biathlete and a five time Paralympic Champion. Up to the 2010 Winter Paralympics she had won five gold, five silver and five bronze medals, fifteen in all, in the Winter Games. She also took part in the 2004 Summer Paralympics as a member of the Ukrainian volleyball team, so her career touches both the winter and summer programmes of the Paralympic Games.
