Olena Ivanivna Hovorova (Ukrainian: Олена Іванівна Говорова; born 18 September 1973, in Izmail), also known as Yelena Govorova, is a former Ukrainian track and field athlete who specialised in triple jump competitions. She won the triple jump bronze medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics with her personal best jump of 14.96 metres. She represented Ukraine at the Olympics in the 1996, 2000, and 2004 triple jump competitions – the first three Olympic competitions for the discipline. She also competed at five consecutive World Championships in Athletics from 1995 to 2003.[citation needed]
She won the triple jump gold medal at the Summer Universiade in 1997 and 1999 – the first time an athlete had retained the title – and also won the bronze medal at the 1997 World Championships in Athletics. Although she often made the top-ten at competitions, she rarely reached the podium at major championships. A silver and a bronze from the European Cup in Athletics and a bronze from the 2001 Goodwill Games are the other significant medals she garnered in her career.[citation needed]
Hovorova is a candidate for the Kiev City Council of the party Servant of the People in the 2020 Kiev local election set for 25 October 2020.[1][2] In the 2006 Ukrainian parliamentary election she was a candidate of Patriotic Party of Ukraine, but the party did not win any seats.[3]
