Darya Klishina

Darya Klishina is a Russian long-jumper who combines power and good looks to full effect. Despite starting her sports career in volleyball when she was eight years, the athlete decided to switch to long jump when she turned thirteen, after being influenced by her father.

Klishina has broken several records during her time in the sport, and despite injuring her foot before the World Championships in 2011, she came back stronger, showing that beauty can indeed be robust and resilient. So beautiful is the athlete that in 2010, an online poll named her the number one beauty of Russian sport. With all the charm she flaunts, it’s hard to disagree!
