Yevgeniya Viktorovna Estes (Template:Lang-ru, born 17 July 1975 in Sverdlovsk), née Artamonova (Артамонова), is a Russian former volleyball player who was a member of the national team and one of only two volleyball players (along with Sergey Tetyukhin) that competed consecutively in six Olympic Games. She won silver medals at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[1]

Estes also won the Most Beautiful Women Volleyball Player Award, which was held on the occasion of FIVB World Grand Champions Cup 1993 and sponsored by Japanese Monthly Volleyball Magazine. As a member of TOYOBO, she won the first runner-up of "Miss V-League".

In 2018, Estes was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame.[1]

Honors

Trivia

Estes's nickname in Japan is Aru-chan. On the court, she rarely shows her feelings, which made Japanese media nickname her “Ice doll”.

During the Russia-Japan game of the World Grand Prix 1995, she fell down because of a knee injury. She had knee surgery the previous year.
