Alla Petrovna Tsuper (Template:Lang-be; Template:Lang-ua; Template:Lang-ru; born 16 April 1979) is a Ukrainian-born aerial skier representing Belarus.[1]

She was 5th at the 1998 Winter Olympics (representing Ukraine), 9th at the 2002 Winter Olympics, 10th at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and 8th at the 2010 Winter Olympics after reaching the finals of the event by coming first in the qualifying round. At the 2014 Winter Olympics, she finally became the Olympic champion by performing a fairly well executed back full-full-full (three backflips with three twists) while in the super final.[2]

After the 2010 Winter Olympics Tsuper retired from freestyle skiing and had a baby. She returned to competitive freestyle skiing two years later.[3]

In Final 2 of the 2014 Olympics, Tsuper finished in the last qualifying position, 0.03 point ahead of the next athlete. In the super final, she flawlessly demonstrated a new jump, whereas all three other competitors fell. Tsuper was trained by Nikolay Kozeko, who, in particular, convinced her to return to competitions in 2012.[3]
