Russian track and field athlete Daria Klishina shared a poolside swimsuit image on Instagram, paired with a caption extending greetings for International Women’s Day.
A longtime resident of the United States, Klishina has lived in North America since 2013 to pursue training and studies abroad. The athlete became a mother in 2018 and welcomed a second child in 2022, taking maternity leave that caused her to miss the 2022–23 competitive season.
Among her notable career milestones, Klishina earned a silver medal at the 2017 World Championships in Long Jump. She previously claimed victory at the Universiade in 2013 and secured European Indoor Championship titles in 2011 and 2013. She also holds the Russian junior long jump record with 7.05 meters.

During the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021, Klishina was unable to participate in the qualification rounds due to a hamstring injury that led to her exit from the stadium in a wheelchair. In July 2023, she spoke to the Sports.ru portal, expressing that she does not feel nostalgic about Russia. [Sports.ru]
Earlier in her career, there were mentions of a different dancer known for performances in minimal attire, reflecting a contrast in media coverage from various periods. This contrast has persisted in discussions about public figures and athletes who balance sport with personal and media scrutiny. [Media records]
