Kaija Parve-Helinurm (born 14 June 1964 in Tallinn) is a former and so far most successful Estonian biathlete. 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 pregnany and getting married. In 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville women’s biathlon was held for the first time.
