Карьера

Когда Тимошенко было семь лет, ее отец (инженер -строитель) был приглашен работать в Киева . Она начала тренироваться в гимнастике в 1980 году в восемь лет в школе Дериугинс, обучаемой комбинацией «Мать/дочь Альбины» и «Ирина Деригина» . Она заняла седьмое место на европейском чемпионате Европы 1987 года, ее первый крупный международный результат. В возрасте 14 лет она стала чемпионом советского юниора и вскоре после этого собрала три медали на чемпионате Европы: золото для веревки , серебро для обруча и бронза для ленты . На советском соревновании она заняла второе место за высшим советским соревнованиями Марины Лобах из Беларуси , и поэтому выиграла право на участие в чемпионате Европы 1988 года.

At the 1988 European Championships in Helsinki, Finland, Tymoshenko shared the All-Around title with two Bulgarians, Elizabeth Koleva and Adriana Dunavska. There she also won three golds - Hoop, Clubs and Rope. Several months later she won the All-Around bronze at the Seoul Olympics, and after that she became the USSR All-Around champion for the first time.

Tymoshenko continued her rise in 1989, taking five out of six golds at the Sarajevo World Championships. Her streak would continue through numerous other international competitions, although she started to feel the pressure from up-and-coming teammates. She would grab her second European title in 1990, but spent the rest of the year struggling against the steadily rising Oksana Skaldina. In 1991, Timoshenko seemed poised to earn her second World title after a very strong early season. However, in Athens Timoshenko's difficulty level could not match Skaldina's and the former World champion had to settle for silver. At the event finals she was able to sweep the gold medals on all four apparatus.

The ex-USSR countries competed as the Unified Team at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. Tymoshenko won the gold medal in All-around ahead of Skaldina.

Retirement

Although the Ukrainian Federation tried to persuade her to continue after the 1992 Olympics, Timoshenko opted to retire from the sport at the age of 20. She enrolled in the Goethe Institute to study German language, while simultaneously completing her studies at the Kyiv University of Physical Culture and Sports. She spent some time coaching in Germany before getting married and making a permanent move to Vienna, Austria.
