Career

She represented her nation Ukraine in pistol shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and trained throughout her sporting career for the shooting team at Lviv Sports Club Academy under her coaching parents Valentina and Serhiy Korostylov.^[1] Coming from a sporting pedigree, Korostylova shares the same discipline with her younger brother Pavlo Korostylov, who later held the junior world record and won a gold medal in air pistol at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China.^[1][3][4]

Korostylova qualified for the Ukrainian squad in pistol shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by virtue of exchanging quota places won by Germany in the rifle three positions with her spot in the air pistol, having achieved a mandatory Olympic standard of 381.^[5] Korostylova started off her run by firing a score of 382 points to secure the tenth position in the women's 10 m air pistol prelims, tying her with four other shooters including 1988 Olympic bronze medalist Nino Salukvadze of neighboring Georgia.^[6][7] In her second event, the 25 m pistol, Korostylova came strong from her immediate failure in the air pistol to edge out her teammate and Olympic champion Olena Kostevych by a single point with a score of 570, but ended up only in twenty-sixth out of thirty-seven shooters in the prelims.^[8]
