Olena Serhiivna Kryvytska (Ukrainian: Олена Сергіївна Кривицькa; born 23 February 1987) is a Ukrainian fencer.
Career
Kryvytska has won three world championship bronze medals.[1] She competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Women's épée, and was defeated in the second round.[2] She was also part of the Ukrainian women's épée team that finished in 8th place.[3]
She originally took up fencing in Ternopil, Ukraine, having moved there from Russia in the early 1990s.[4]
In March 2022, speaking of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, she said her fellow athletes from Russia: "need to pick a side. Too many are keeping quiet and saying nothing. That's not acceptable, because they're involved; they belong to Russia. If they have a lot of followers on Instagram, they have to speak out and say that they are on the side of peace, and that their president is doing terrible things."[5]
