Biography

[edit]

Gubaydullina was born to a Bashkir father and a Tatar mother.[3] She started swimming in Novy Urengoy at the age of six. When she was thirteen, she participated in the double-event, winning gold in a local tournament.[4] Gubaydullina is a four-times junior and youth European champion, and a world youth silver medalist.[5][6][7] She is a bronze medalist in the mixed event at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics.[8]

The Russian became fourth at the 2015 European Modern Pentathlon Championships, giving her a place at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[9] Although Gubaydullina set a new record in 200 m swimming (2:07.94) at the Olympics,[10] she finished just 15th (following the disqualification of Chen Qian she took the 14th position).[11][12]

Gubaydullina and Belyakov won the mixed event of the 2017 European Modern Pentathlon Championships in Minsk, Belarus.[citation needed]

At the 2020 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan in 2021, Gubaydullina started off by showing the best result in swimming, setting an Olympic Record (2:07.31).[13] However, she was eliminated in the third stage, after her randomly assigned horse 'Saint Boy' refused to continue jumping, leaving her without a medal at the end, although having the 6th best time in the final stage.[14][15]

She won the 2021 Cup of the President of the Russian Federation (former Kremlin Cup), after winning the fencing, swimming and the final laser run stages.[16]
