Yelizaveta Chernyshova alternately spelled Jelizaveta Chernyshova (born January 26, 1958) is a presumed retired Soviet hurdler. She was the 1989 World Indoor Champion.[1] After the fall of the Soviet Union, she continued to compete for Russia. In 1994 she set the W35 Masters world record in the 100 metres hurdles. She held the record for five years until it was surpassed by another former Soviet hurdler Ludmila Engquist, who was also the runner up in the 1989 Indoor Championships.
