Mariya Livchikova (Ukrainian: Марія Лівчікова, born 28 April 1995) is a Ukrainian former artistic gymnast.
Personal life
Livchikova was born on 28 April 1995 in Horlivka. She started gymnastics when she was seven years old.[2] Her mother, Oksana Viktorovna, is a former figure skater.[3]
Career
2011
Livchikova made her senior debut at the Cottbus World Cup. However, she did not qualify for any of the event finals.[4] She then went to the Ghent World Cup where she won a silver medal on the balance beam behind Chinese gymnast Wu Liufang and a gold medal on the floor exercise.[5] At the European Championships, she scored a 12.700 on the vault, 11.150 on the balance beam, and 13.600 on the floor exercise during the qualification round. She did not qualify for any event finals.[6]
At the World Championships, Livchikova tore her ACL during podium training, and it prevented her from competing for the remainder of the season.[2] The Ukrainian team finished nineteenth in the qualification round with a total score of 204.229.[7] This meant that Ukraine did not qualify for the London Test Event, and they could only send one female gymnast to the 2012 Olympics.[8]
2012
At the Ukrainian Cup, Livchikova didn't perform her most difficult routines, but she still finished second in the all-around with a score of 55.500.[8] She won the bronze medal in the all-around at the Stella Zakharova Cup.[9] Then at the European Championships, she contributed an all-around score of 52.999 in the qualification round towards Ukraine's tenth place finish.[10] She qualified in seventh place for the floor exercise event final with a score of 14.000.[11] She finished sixth in the floor final with a score of 13.466.[12] Ukraine's single spot for the 2012 Olympics was given to Natalia Kononenko.[13]
At the Brno Grand Prix, Livchikova scored a 15.250 on the balance beam and won the mixed-pairs competition with Maxim Semiankiv.[14]
2013
At the WOGA Classic, Livchikova placed second in the all-around and third on beam and floor.[15] She suffered another torn ACL and could not compete at the European Championship.[16] Although she had resumed training, she was not ready for the World Championships and did not compete.[17]
2014
During training in August 2014, Livchikova tore her ACL for a third time and had another surgery.[18] This injury took her out of the World Championships.[19]
Retirement
On 21 October 2014, Livchikova announced her retirement from gymnastics, citing the injuries she had sustained throughout her career as the reason.[1][20]
