Kaija Parve-Helinurm (born 14 June 1964, in Tallinn) is a former and so far most successful Estonian biathlete.[1] She used to be a cross-country skier (became Estonian champion in 1983), but after hearing that there was a possibility to participate in World Championships, Parve switched to biathlon. After spending 7 years with Soviet biathlon team, she retired in 1990 due to pregnancy and getting married.
