MEET Yuliia Levchenko, a stunning high jumper aiming for gold in 2024.
Levchenko, 25, is an athlete with a serious travel bug who enjoys sharing her adventures with her growing Instagram following.
She frequently shares her training experiences with her 404,000 Instagram followers as she jets around the world.
Tenerife, Turkey, Italy, and France are just a few of the places she has recently visited.
And if her travels take her to any beaches, you can expect to see Levchenko soaking up the rays in a bikini.
But it’s not all fun and games for her, as she must adhere to a rigorous training regimen in order to win gold at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
It will be her third time representing Ukraine, having made her debut in 2016 before an impressive eighth-place finish in 2020.
Levchenko knows what it’s like to win, having been the Under 23 European champion twice and a two-time national champion.
This season has started off well as well, with a gold medal at the National Indoor Championships with a jump of 1.96m – though this falls well short of her personal best of 2.02m set in 2019.
She also knows what it’s like to come up short, having won silver at both the World Championships in 2017 and the European Indoor Championships in 2019.
Fans appreciate the variety of content, with many leaving encouraging messages and complimenting her appearance across multiple posts.
One fan said: “She’s gorgeous… natural beauty, athletic and a champ.????????????”
A second user wrote: “Terrific! Love how spirited you are. More strength to you, Yuliya [sic]!”
A third declared: “She is what a supermodel should look like.”
“How pretty are you wtf!!❤️,” commented another.
Her goal in Paris will undoubtedly be to win a medal for her country as the war rages on.
Levchenko has made several posts about the conflict between her country and Russia.
She recently posted a photo of a minefield warning sign outside of a ruined apartment building.
In a March 1 post last year, she pleaded: “I simply want to live in my home country of Ukraine! Without Russian troops or Putin.”
