In the past season, Yefimova improved several Estonian results and in December she won the gold medal in the 100 meter breaststroke and silver in the 50 meter breaststroke at the European Championships in the 25 meter pool.
Furthermore, the 17-year-old swimmer won several medals at the World Junior Championships and the European Junior Championships and qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
The award was also accepted by Yefimova coach Henry Hein, recognized as Estonia’s best coach in 2023.
Tilga, however, placed fourth in the world championship, accumulating a total of 8,681 points, and also achieved excellent results in other competitions.
The Estonian women’s volleyball team, which won the European Silver League and will be able to compete in the Golden League next season, was awarded the Estonian team of the year. In addition, Estonian volleyball players competed this year at the European Championship, where they lost in five subgroup matches and did not enter the “play-offs”.
In 2022, freestyle skier Kelly Sildaru and decathlete Janek Eiglane were recognized as the top athletes.
