Yelena Sipatova (Russian: Елена Силатова; born 7 June 1955) is a retired long-distance runner from the Soviet Union, and a former winner of the Rome City Marathon (1995).[1]

She was the first IAAF-recognised women's world record holder in the 10,000 metres with her time of 32:17.20 minutes. She also set an unrecognised world best in the 5000 metres, with 15:24.6 minutes in 1981.[2]

Her first successes came under her maiden name, Yelena Chernysheva (also transliterated Elena Chernyshova),[3] and she was the individual bronze medallist and team gold medallist at the 1980 IAAF World Cross Country Championships.[4] She repeated that same feat at the 1981 event and won a third and final team title at the 1982 edition (leading the Soviet women in seventh).[5]

On the track she competed in the 3000 metres. She won a silver outdoors at the 1981 European Cup, then won a bronze medal at the 1982 European Athletics Championships.[6] She was a gold medallist at the 1983 European Athletics Indoor Championships.[7]
