Personal life

[edit]

Stremous was born in Kotelnikovo, Russia. She studied at State Budgetary Secondary School No. 3, Saint Petersburg.[2]

Career

[edit]

Stremous started cross-country skiing in Volgograd, Russia, and later moved to Saint Petersburg.[2] In 2017, she started competing for the St. Petersburg Biathlon Sports Federation.[2] She made her international debut in the 2019–20 Biathlon IBU Cup event in Minsk, Belarus.[2] In April 2020, Stremous started competing for Moldova, as she had been unable to make the Russian reserve team.[3] She had not competed internationally for Russia,[4] and so did not need permission from the Russian Biathlon Union to make the nationality change.[5] She was one of several Russian-born athletes who chose to represent Moldova.[6]

Stremous came fourth in the 2020–21 Biathlon IBU Cup event in Arber, Germany.[7] At the 2022 IBU Open European Championships, she won the 10 km pursuit event,[8][9] by 18 seconds. She had four penalties in the competition.[10] At the same Championships, she came second in the 15 km individual event,[11][12] and fourth in the 7.5 km sprint race.[4]

Stremous qualified for the 2022 Winter Olympics; she was one of four Moldovan biathletes at the Games.[10][11] She came 10th in the women's sprint event and 16th in the pursuit race.[13] She missed two of her 10 targets in the pursuit race.[14] She also finished 37th in the 15km individual event,[15] and was the country's flag bearer at the closing ceremony.[16]
