# Alina Shukh

Alina Anatolyivna Shukh (Ukrainian: Аліна Анатоліївна Шух; born 12 February 1999) is a Ukrainian athlete specialising in the combined events. She won the gold medal in the javelin throw at the 2018 World Under-20 Championships. In the heptathlon, Shukh claimed gold at the 2017 European U20 Championships, bronze at the 2015 World U18 Championships and gold at the 2016 European U18 Championships.

She is the world junior record holder for the pentathlon with the third-best U20 mark in history (some results were not ratified as there was no post-competition doping control). Shukh is a five-time Ukrainian national champion.

She competed in the women's heptathlon at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics in London, placing 14th, and in the women's pentathlon at the 2018 World Indoor Championships held in Birmingham, finishing seventh.
