Biography

Pohrebnyak was born in the Kharkiv Oblast, and represents the club Dynamo Kharkiv.[2] In the 100 metres she finished fourth at the 2007 European Junior Championships,[3] and won the silver medal at the 2009 European U23 Championships.[4] In the 200 metres she finished seventh at the 2009 European U23 Championships.[5] She also competed at the 2004 and 2006 World Junior Championships and the 2007 and 2009 World Championships, as well as the 2008 Olympic Games.[6] In the Olympic 100 metres race she placed fourth in her first round heat, which normally meant elimination. However, her time of 11.60 was among the ten fastest losing times, resulting in a second round spot. There she failed to qualify for the semi finals as her time of 11.55 was the eighth time of her race.[2]

In the 4 x 100 metres relay she won a silver medal at the 2007 European Junior Championships,[7] and competed at the 2009 World Championships without reaching the final.[8] At the 2007 World Championships the Ukrainian team failed to finish the race,[9] and at the 2008 Olympic Games it was disqualified.[2] Disqualification also occurred at the 2004 World Junior Championships.[10] At the 2009 European U23 Championships the team again failed to finish the race.[11]

Her personal best times are 11.109 seconds in the 100 metres, achieved in 2015; and 22.64 seconds in the 200 metres, achieved in 2016 at the Rio Olympics.[6]
