Biography
[edit]Yatsenko was born in Kyiv suburb of Sofiïvska Borshchahivka in 1961; at the time, the city was part of the Soviet Union and it has since 1991 been the capital of Ukraine.[1]
Yatsenko initially competed under her maiden name and she first became World Champion in the eight event at the 1981 World Rowing Championships in Munich.[2] She repeated this feat in 1982 in Lucerne and in 1983 in Duisburg.[2] Due to the 1984 Summer Olympics boycott, she did not attend the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles but competed at the Friendship Games instead where she won a gold medal with the women's eight.[citation needed] At the 1985 World Rowing Championships in Hazewinkel, she won her fourth World Championship.[3]
She competed once more at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul for the Soviet Union with the women's eight, this time under her married name.[4] The team came fourth at the Olympics.[1][5]
