Meet Liz Parnov: Alex Parnov Daughter And Family
Elizaveta “Liz” Parnov was born in Moscow, Russia, to her parents, Alex and Nadia Parnov. She comes from a family of athletes, particularly pole vaulters.
Her Father, Alex, was a world-class pole vaulter before coaching stars of the sport, including Paul Burgess, Emma George, Steve Hooker, Tatiana Grigorieva, Dmitri Markov, Viktor Chistiakov, etc.
Alex now coaches his four daughters, including Liz.
Likewise, Liz’s mother, Nadia, is a former track hurdler, and her parents were both star Olympians — Father Valentine Tchistiakov and mother Natalia Pechenkina.
The former competed at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, while the latter won the bronze medal for the then-USSR in the women’s 400m at the 1968 Summer Olympics.
Similarly, Liz is the niece of Tatiana Grigorieva, who won the silver medal for Australia in the pole vault at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
The Parnov family moved to Australia in 1996 when Liz was two. She began competitive pole vaulting at age nine when she vaulted 2.65m.
Liz set two world age bests, 3.15m and 3.64m, at 11 and 12 years, respectively. She cleared 4m days after her 14th birthday in 2008.
In 2010, the Russian-Australian competed at the first Youth Olympic Games, winning silver after jumping 4.40m.
Meet The Parnov Sisters- Age Gaps
Alex and Nadia Parnov are proud parents of four beautiful blonde daughters.
Their eldest daughter, Vicky, was the first to catch a pole vault obsession. The 33-year-old, the current Australian national champion, was inspired by her aunt Grigorieva.
Vicky was only 10 when she started and went on to become a youth world champion and jumped for Australia in the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games at age 16.
Next in age is Liz herself, followed by 20-year-old twin girls, Natasha and Alla. The latter grabbed respective gold and silver medals in the national under-15 titles.
The Parnov sisters have the inbuilt competitive nature of their family. They had a moment where Alla was told Vicky would retire the day the twins started jumping as high as her.
Alla took on the challenge, saying, “You’ve got to work hard to get to where they are because they are so good. But if she (Vicky) said that, then bring it on.”
Competitiveness is so inherent among the sisters that Vicky’s best of 4.40 meters, once the Australian u-20 record, was tied by Liz in April 2010 and then surpassed in February 2012.
