Viktoria Karpenko

Born:               March 15th, 1981
Hometown:      Kherson
Coached by:    Oleg Ostapenko

She won different Meets during her career, American Cup, Chunichi Cup twice, Hungarian International etc., but during official FIG Competitions she often had troubles with her form or an injury until she won the AllAround Silvermedal at Worlds 1999. Rest of the year ended very well also for her with winning beam and bars at Grand Prix Zürich over Svetlana Khorkina and a tie on Floor at DTB in Stuttgart. The Pictures below has been taken at these two meets.

Some of her skills makes this gymnast exceptional: Arabian on beam (in earlier years), Double Arabian to punchfront on floor and a double layout full dismount on bars.
