Sofiya Aleksandrovna Velikaya (Russian: Софья Александровна Великая, IPA: [ˈsofʲjə vʲɪˈlʲikəjə]; born 8 June 1985) is a Russian sabre fencer.[2]

Velikaya is a former European champion (four-time individual, six-time team), world champion (two-time individual, six-time team), and two-time Olympic team champion. She competed in the 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympics, and is a three-time individual silver medalist.

She dedicated her team's 2016 Olympic gold medal to those Russians who had been banned for doping. In January 2024, Velikaya was included in the list of proxies of presidential candidate Vladimir Putin in the 2024 Russian presidential election.

Career

[edit]

Velikaya is a Russian Armed Forces captain.[3] Her fencing clubs are the Russian Central Sports Army Club and MGFSO.[1]

2008–15

[edit]

She placed fourth in the 2008 Beijing Games, after losing to American Sada Jacobson 11-15 in the semifinals, and then losing to American Rebecca Ward 14-15 in the bronze medal match.[4] On 12 October 2011, she became the world champion after beating two-time Olympic champion American Mariel Zagunis in the final. One year after, she took part in the Summer Olympics in London, where she advanced to finals after defeating Olga Kharlan of Ukraine. Velikaya lost however to South Korea's Kim Ji-yeon, 9-15, and received silver.[4]

Velikaya then took a break in her career.[5] She gave birth to a son, with Olympic wrestler Aleksey Mishin. She came back to international competition in March 2014 at the Antalya World Cup, where she was defeated in the second round by Hungary's Anna Várhelyi.[6] At the European Championships in Strasbourg, she was stopped in the second round again, this time by Italy's Rossella Gregorio. In the team event, Russia met France in the final, and won the gold medal.[7] At the World Championships in Kazan Velikaya made her way to the quarter-finals, where she met reigning World champion Olga Kharlan of Ukraine. Velikaya was defeated 9–15.[8] In the team event, Russia met France in the quarter-finals. Russia suffered a shock 41–45 defeat.[9]

In the 2014–15 season, Velikaya won the first event in Cancún after defeating France's Charlotte Lembach in the final.[10] She placed second with Russia in the team event.[citation needed] In Orléans, she put an end to the invincibility of the world no.1 Olga Kharlan, who had not taken part in the Cancún tournament. Velikaya proceeded to the final where she defeated Italy's Rossella Gregorio and earned her second gold medal in a row.[11] In the team event, Russia saw off the United States in the final to win team gold. Velikaya reached again the final in the New York Grand Prix. She met Kharlan, who defeated her 15–12, dooming her the silver medal.[12] The same scenario played out in Athens at the first World Cup event of 2015, Velikaya losing by a single hit that time.[13] In the team event, Russia fenced Ukraine in the final. Russia lost ground in the penultimate relay, which ended on 33–40. Velikaya lost 2–5 the final relay against Kharlan and came away with a second silver medal.[14] At the Ghent World Cup, she defeated Kharlan 15–3 in the semi-finals, then Zagunis 15–10 in the final, to take her third gold medal of the season.[15]

2016–19

[edit]

Velikaya qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In women's sabre in the table of 32 she defeated Bogna Jóźwiak from Poland. In the table of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals, she prevailed over Charlotte Lembach, Cécilia Berder and Manon Brunet of France, respectively.[16] She eventually lost 14–15 to her teammate Yana Egorian in the finals, winning her second consecutive silver medal at the Olympics in the individual women's sabre. Velikaya finally managed to claim Olympic gold a few days later in the team event. Russia defeated Mexico (45–31) in the quarter-finals, prevailed over the USA (45–42) in the semi-finals and met the Ukrainians in the final. Velikaya and her teammates came away with the gold medal, defeating Ukraine 45–30.[17]

Velikaya dedicated her squad's 2016 Olympic gold medal to those Russians who had been banned for doping.[18]

On 17 November 2016, Velikaya was elected the head of the Russian Olympic Committee Athletes' Commission.[19][20]

2020–present

[edit]

In April 2022, she said she would boycott the Olympics if she is not allowed to compete under the Russian flag and anthem.[21] Velikaya was not among the Russian athletes reinstated by the FIE in May 2023, due to her ties with the Russian Army.[22]

In January 2024, the Russian state-owned new agency TASS reported that Velikaya was included in the list of proxies of presidential candidate Vladimir Putin in the 2024 Russian presidential election.[23] By law, self-nominated candidates such as Putin are allowed to have proxies who campaign in their favor.[23]

In February 2024, Velikaya commented on three fellow Russian Olympic fencers who had escaped from Russia to the United States, Tokyo Olympics épée silver medalist Sergey Bida, his wife Violetta Bida, and sabre fencer Konstantin Lokhanov.[24][25] She said: "This is absolutely their right, this is their life. I'm sitting at home."[24][25]
