Iryna Gerashchenko started her career in athletics at the age of seven. Her first coach was Iryna Pustovoit, who still works with her. Even then, Gerashchenko set herself an ambitious goal - to get to the Olympic Games. This desire impressed her coach, because Iryna was one of the most dedicated athletes at that time.
Iryna achieved her first international success at the World Youth Championship, where she shared first place with a Romanian athlete, but lost in the jump-off. Since then, her career has been developing rapidly, and Gerashchenko regularly climbed the podiums of various international tournaments.
