Yuliya is one of Russia’s foremost competitive swimmers; she mostly competes in the 50-200 meter events, and she holds the national record in the 200-meter individual medley. Yuliya is also the Russian record holder in the 200-meter and 100-meter breaststroke categories.

Her long legs from a 5’10 frame aided her ascension, and although she looks more like a model, her long list of records proves that she’s an athletic marvel and champion. At one point, Yefimova held the world record in the 50-meter breaststroke medley as well.
