Yulia Raskina ({{langx|ru|Юлия Раскина}}; born 9 April 1982) is a Belarusian former rhythmic gymnast and trainer. She is the 2000 Olympics silver medalist, the 1999 World all-around silver medalist, the two time (2000, 1999) European all-around silver medalist and 1999 Grand Prix Final all-around champion.

Career

Raskina was a three-time national champion and won her first senior international medal at 1997 World Championships in Berlin, where she won the team silver. She became the 1999 World Championships all-around silver medalist and was a two-time European all-around silver medalist in 1999 and 2000. Raskina won the gold medal in ball at the 2000 European Championships in Zaragosa.

She marked her career high by winning the silver in the all-around competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics held in Sydney, Australia ahead of then Olympic gold favorite Alina Kabaeva, who took the bronze medal. She lost the gold to Yulia Barsakova by 0.084. Had her hoop not gone out of bounds by an inch, which was a mandatory 0.1 deduction, she would have won the gold. Raskina made an unsuccessful comeback until 2003 and finally completed her career.

In 2005 and 2006, Raskina took part in Cirque du Soleil's Corteo alongside former Ukrainian rhythmic gymnast Tamara Yerofeeva. She won Belarusian TV project "Star Dances" with professional dancer Denis Moryasin and was selected to represent Belarus at the Eurovision Dance Contest.

She is currently working as a coach for German national team in rhythmic gymnastics, contributing to the rising success of German rhythmic gymnasts in 2022.
