Career

She won the gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics held in Athens in 2004, as well as bronze at the World Championship in 1997, a silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta,[2] and placed fourth in 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.[3][4] She also competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, immediately after serving a two-year ban for doping,[5] but failed to advance to the final round.[6]

She originally won the gold medal at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics,[2] but lost it due to a positive drugs test for caffeine. She was later cleared and let off a suspension, but in May 2006 she tested positive for an anabolic steroid and accepted a ban.[5]

Her best performance was 70.02 meters on 23 June 1999, at the Olympic meet in Thessaloniki, Greece.[1]

Тремя годами ранее, на ЧМ по лёгкой атлетике 2001 в Эдмонтоне, она также стала победительницей, но впоследствии лишилась титула чемпионки мира, так как у неё был установлен повышенный уровень кофеина. Вместо неё чемпионкой была объявлена белоруска Эллина Зверева.
