Early life

Born in Wellington, New Zealand, Kiroi-Bogatyreva was raised in Melbourne, Australia. Her mother, Valeriya, was a Dancesport competitor, competing in ballroom and Latin dance for 15 years. [2] Both of her parents emigrated from Russia before she was born. [3] She started gymnastics and ballet at the age of two and shifted to practicing rhythmic gymnastics at the age of two at Prahran Rhythmic Gymnastics Specialist Centre in Windsor, an inner South-Eastern suburb of Melbourne. [4] [2] She attended The King David School in Armadale. [5]

[7] [8] She won four gold medals and one silver medal in the all-around in the 2013 level 7 Australian Championships.

Senior career

Kiroi-Bogatyreva became eligible to compete as an international senior in 2018. [1] She won the all-around bronze medal at the Australia Cup and was selected to represent Australia at the 2018 Commonwealth Games alongside Danielle Prince and Enid Sung. [11] The team won the bronze medal behind Malaysia and Cyprus. [12] [13] Kiroi-Bogatyreva qualified for the individual all-around final and finished in 10th place. [14] Then in the ball final, she won another bronze medal. [15] She also qualified for the ribbon final where she finished fifth. [16]

After the Commonwealth Games, Kiroi-Bogatyreva made her FIG World Cup debut in Baku, [17] placing 29th in the all-around. [18] She then finished 33rd in the all-around at the Guadalajara World Challenge Cup. [19] One week later at the Portimão World Challenge Cup, she placed 22nd in the all-around. [20] At the Australian Championships, she won her first senior national title. [21] She also won gold medals with the Victorian team and with the hoop, ball, and ribbon. [22]

In September, Kiroi-Bogatyreva represented Australia at the World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. She finished 76th in the all-around during the qualification round. [23]

Kiroi-Bogatyreva began the 2019 season by competing in three competitions on the FIG World Cup series. [24] In Sofia, she placed 47th in the all-around, [25] in Tashkent she placed 24th, [26] and in Baku she placed 55th. [27] At the Australian Championships, she successfully defended her national title, [28] winning all five individual gold medals and leading the Victoria state team to a team gold. [24]

2020

In 2020, Kiroi-Bogatyreva competed at the Berlin Masters Tournament and finished fourth in the all-around. [31] In the event finals, she won a gold medal with the clubs, a silver medal with the ball, and a bronze medal with the hoop. [32] The 2020 season was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in March, and Kiroi-Bogatyreva spent nearly a year training in her house. [33] [1]

2021

Kiroi-Bogatryeva competed at the 2021 Oceania Championships, which doubled as the Australian Championships and was an Olympic qualifier. [34] She finished in second-place behind Lidiia Iakovleva and did not receive the sole Olympic berth for Oceania. During the all-around event, Iakovleva appealed her ribbon score, and her score was increased on review by "never seen in rhythmic gymnastics" 1.9 points which put her first overall ahead of Kiroi-Bogatyreva. [35] Kiroi-Bogatyreva appealed the competition results to the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG). The FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics Technical Commission annulled the competition and created unprecedented re-judging event where routines were judged from an amateur video footage made on iPad, and results upheld the placements of Iakovleva first and Kiroi-Bogatyreva second. [36] Kiroi-Bogatyreva further appealed the re-judged result to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but her appeal was dismissed on the grounds of "Field of Play". [35] However, the Gymnastics Ethics Foundation's investigation found issues with the makeup of the judging panel and procedures at the competition, [35] and the Oceania Gymnastics Union, Gymnastics Australia, and competition officials were sanctioned as a result. [37] [38] Despite severity of the breaches by the officials they continued to hold significant roles in governance of Rhythmic Gymnastics and sport in Australia. [39]

After missing the Olympic spot, Kiroi-Bogatyreva moved to Baku, Azerbaijan, to train at the National Gymnastics Arena. [4] [40] [35] Early in October, she returned to competition at the Cluj-Napoca World Challenge Cup and placed 14th in the all-around. [41] She was then selected to compete World Championships in Kitakyushu, Japan, and Kiroi-Bogatyreva finished 36th in the all-around during the qualification round. [42] She was the highest-placing gymnast from the Commonwealth of Nations. [41]

[44] At the Australian Championship, Kiroi-Bogatyreva regained the individual all-around national title, [45] while adding two more individual apparatus national titles and a team gold medal. [46]

She finished 20th in hoop, 12th in ball, 14th in ribbon, and 15th in clubs. [47] She then competed at the 2022 Maccabiah Games, becoming the first Australian rhythmic gymnast to compete at the event, and won five bronze medals. [1] She was selected to represent Australia at the 2022 Commonwealth Games alongside Lidiia Iakovleva and Ashari Gill. [48] The team won the silver medal behind Canada. [49] Individually, Kiroi-Bogatyreva qualified for the all-around final and won the bronze medal behind England's Marfa Ekimova and Cypriot Anna Sokolova. [50] She then won her first Commonwealth Games gold medal in the clubs final. [51]

[54] Then in May, she defended her all-around national championship title for the fourth time. [55] At the first competition of the FIG World Cup series held in Sofia, she finished 32nd in the all-around. [56] She then finished 29th at the Baku World Cup. [57] She was the only Australian individual representative selected for the World Championship, held in Valencia, Spain. She finished 37th all-around in the qualification round. [58]
