Career history

Rodomakina competed in her first Summer Paralympics at the 2008 Games in Beijing, China. She entered both the women's 100 metres and 200 metres sprints in the T46 classification. She qualified for the finals for both events, but failed to medal in either finishing 5th in the 100m and 7th in the 200m.[1][2]

In 2011 Rodomakina entered the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships in Christchurch, New Zealand. She took the silver in both her sprint events, the 100m and 200m T46 races. She also qualified for the F44/46 long jump and took the gold medal after posting a distance of 5.67m in her final jump.[3]

At the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, Rodomakina competed in the 100 metres, 200 metres and the long jump. She won a silver medal in the women's 100 metres T46 event,[4] but failed to reach the podium in the 200 metres, finishing one hundredth of a second behind bronze medalist Anrune Liebenberg of South Africa.[5] She also continued her success in the long jump, this time competing in the F46 classification, again taking the gold medal.

At the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon she entered the 100m T46 sprint and the T46 long jump. She won silver in the sprint but successfully defended her long jump world title posting a personal best of 5.92m.[6]
