Svetlana Sergeyevna Zhurova (Russian: Светла́на Серге́евна Жу́рова; born 7 January 1972) is a speed skater from Russia and a deputy at the State Duma of the Russian Federation.[1]
Career
Zhurova has been competing internationally since 1989,[2] took part in four Olympics, but did not win her first Olympic medal until her fourth Olympics, winning Olympic gold in Turin in 2006, two years after mothering a child. She also became Sprint World Champion in 2006. After her sporting career she became a politician and became Vice Speaker of the fifth State Duma as part of the ruling United Russia party.[3]
Sanctions
On December 9, 2014, Zhurova was sanctioned by the United Kingdom after she voted in favor of a bill making the Republic of Crimea a federal subject of Russia earlier that year.[4] Ten days later, Zhurova was placed on the Canadian sanctions list for the Ukrainian crisis.[5]
In 2023, she criticized at the Canadian Olympic Committee after its CEO David Shoemaker proposed a requirement that Russian athletes must denounce the war in Ukraine before they can compete in Olympic events:[6][7]
This is not surprising, as the Ukrainian diaspora has a very large influence in Canada. Therefore, Canadians will be the last after Ukraine to recognize Russian athletes at the Olympics. They are asking our athletes to refuse to support their native country, which raised them as athletes. Our state has a very great influence on the development of sports, and in the West there is no such support. They want to destroy the interaction between the state and sports in our country, which our ancestors built over the years.
