==Career==

===Early career===
Born in [[Ust-Kamenogorsk]], she entered her first world junior competition at the age of sixteen and finished eleventh in the [[long jump]] qualifying round of the [[2000 World Junior Championships in Athletics]]. She was more successful in the [[women's heptathlon|heptathlon]]: she finished fourth at the [[2001 World Youth Championships in Athletics]] and went on to take the silver at the following year's [[2002 World Junior Championships in Athletics|World Junior Championships]] behind the emerging [[Carolina Klüft]]. Rypakova also became Kazakhstan's national heptathlon champion that year.<ref name=Bio>[http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/country=KAZ/athcode=180150/index.html Rypakova Olga]. [[IAAF]]. Retrieved on 16 March 2010.</ref> She persisted with combined events and started competing on the international circuit, finishing fifth with a season's best at the [[Multistars]] competition in 2003,<ref>[http://www.multistars.it/Epta2003.htm Multistars 2003]. Multistars. Retrieved on 16 March 2010.</ref> and she became the national indoor champion in the [[women's pentathlon]] in 2004.<ref name=Bio/>

Rypakova's first major championships appearances came in 2005: in September she took part in the long jump at the [[2005 Asian Athletics Championships]] in [[Incheon]], finishing in fourth place. Two months later she won her first gold, topping the podium in the indoor pentathlon at the [[Indoor athletics at the 2005 Asian Indoor Games|2005 Asian Indoor Games]]. Continuing in the pentathlon, she went on to win the gold at the [[2006 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships]] setting an [[List of Asian records in athletics|Asian]] and [[List of Asian Indoor Athletics Championships records|championships record]] of 4582&nbsp;points for the event. Reaching the indoor world stage for the first time, she attended the [[2006 IAAF World Indoor Championships]] but she did not improve further and took seventh place with 4368 points.

She represented Asia for the first time at the [[2006 IAAF World Cup]] team competition, although she managed only 6.21&nbsp;m in the long jump competition, finishing in eighth. She made improvements, however, in the weeks following the World Cup by jumping 6.63&nbsp;m (a new personal best) for second place at the [[Colorful Daegu Athletics Meeting]].<ref>Jalava, Mirko & Turner, Chris (29 September 2006).

===Major championship gold===
[[File:Stamps of Kazakhstan, 2013-03.jpg|thumb|Olga Rypakova on a 2013 Kazakhstani stamp]]
A quick succession of major competitions defined her 2007 season. She began by scoring two golds in the horizontal jumps at the [[2007 Asian Athletics Championships]] in July, which included a [[List of Asian Athletics Championships records|championship record]] and [[List of Kazakhstani records in athletics|national record]] of 14.69&nbsp;m in the triple jump.<ref>[http://www.iaaf.org/news/newsid=40083.html Asian Championships Review – China’s “B” team prevails].

Three weeks later, she took part in her first ever [[2007 World Championships in Athletics|World Championships in Athletics]]: she opted to contest the [[2007 World Championships in Athletics – Women's triple jump|triple jump]] and she finished fourth in the qualifying. However, she could not match that performance in the final round and finished in eleventh overall. She intended to close the year with an appearance at the [[Indoor athletics at the 2007 Asian Indoor Games|2007 Asian Indoor Games]] but she withdrew from the competition.

Her 2008 season began with further indoor success: she won her second gold and set her second championship record at the [[2008 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships]], this time in the triple jump with a mark of 14.23&nbsp;m. The [[2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships]] followed shortly and she came close to the podium in the [[2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Women's triple jump|triple jump competition]] but while her jump of 14.58&nbsp;m was enough to set an indoor Asian record, it was not enough to push [[Marija Šestak]] out of the bronze medal position.<ref>Turner, Chris (8 March 2008).

Retrieved on 16 March 2010.</ref> Similar bitter-sweet results awaited her at the [[2008 Summer Olympics]], her first time representing [[Kazakhstan at the 2008 Summer Olympics|Kazakhstan at the Summer Olympics]]. She entered both the horizontal jump competitions and recorded a new Asian record of 15.11&nbsp;m in the [[Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's triple jump|Olympic triple jump contest]]. In spite of this, she remained some ten centimetres behind the bronze medallist [[Hrysopiyi Devetzi]] of [[Greece]]. Her Olympics came to a close after a modest set of jumps in the qualifiers of the [[Athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's long jump|long jump competition]] left her out of the final.

She took part in her second outdoor world championships the following year, but she could not match her previous form at finished in tenth place overall in the [[2009 World Championships in Athletics – Women's triple jump|2009 women's triple jump competition]] with a best mark of 13.91&nbsp;m. Despite this lacklustre performance on the world stage, she remained dominant in continental competition and won both the long jump and triple jump gold medals at the [[Indoor athletics at the 2009 Asian Indoor Games|2009 Asian Indoor Games]] (setting two [[List of Asian Indoor Games records in athletics|Games records]] and helping Kazakhstan top the athletics medal table in the process).<ref>Ramsak, Bob & Krishnan, Ram.

===World indoor champion===
She became the long and triple jump national indoor champion at the beginning of 2010,<ref name=Bio/> and she opted to compete in the triple jump at the [[2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships]]. She completed a series of personal best jumps in the [[2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Women's triple jump|final]], battling against the defending champion [[Yargelis Savigne]] for the gold medal. Having sealed first place with a fourth round jump of 14.93&nbsp;m and being relieved of the competitive pressure, her final jump saw her reach a new level: she jumped 15.14&nbsp;m – a result that placed her as the third longest jumper indoors after former world champions [[Ashia Hansen]] and [[Tatyana Lebedeva]].<ref>Ramsak, Bob (13 March 2010).
