"The competition went well. The weather was unpredictable, to say the least. Astana greeted us with a pleasant summer coolness, heat and freezing rain with a terrible wind. In general, I was able to test my professional level in all conditions. I shot relatively well although hit only a few ten rings. I continue to work on improving my personal results," wrote Yelena Osipova on her VKontakte page.

Throughout her distinguished career, Yelena Osipova has been on track for a great number of medals and other major achievements. Among the most important, she won a silver medal at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo as a member of the ROC women's national archery team and another silver medal in women's individual archery event.
