She also competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
As a junior, she won the silver medal at the 1989 European Junior Championships.[1] In her early senior career she had modest success in hurdling in global events. She competed at the 1991 World Championships, the 1993 World Championships, the 1996 Olympic Games and the 1997 World Championships without reaching the final.[2][3] She nonetheless won two major medals in her career. First, she ran in the heats on the Soviet team that eventually won the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 1991 World Championships.[4] She also won the 400 metres hurdles bronze medal at the 1994 European Championships.[5]
In somewhat lesser events, she won the bronze medal at the 1991 Summer Universiade,[6] bronze medal at the 1994 Goodwill Games,[7] took the third place at the 1994 IAAF World Cup,[8] and finished sixth at the 1998 IAAF World Cup[2] and seventh at the 1998 European Championships.[9] She became Soviet champion in 1991[10] and Russian champion in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1998.[11]
Her personal best time of 54.11 seconds, was achieved in July 1994 in Nice.[2]
