Elīna Babkina (born 24 April 1989) is a Latvian former basketball player.[1][2]

Babkina was already offered a deal with Russian Superleague team UMMC Ekaterinburg at age 16.[3][4] She was a member of TTT Riga until April 2008, when the team fired her.[5] In September she signed a contract with SK Cēsis.[6] Babkina played in the 2008 Summer Olympics.[7]

She retired from professional basketball in April 2023 and became a player agent.[8]

Personal life

She attended Riga Jugla Secondary School (lv) as a child.

In 2011, rumors circulated among tabloid media, that Babkina had begun a relationship with the manager of the women's national team, Greek coach George Dikeoulakos. After playing in at least three clubs managed by him, George and Elīna married in July 2017 and changed her name to Elīna Dikaiulaku (or Elīna Dikeulaka, Elīna Dikaioulaku).[9] They divorced in 2020, and she reverted to using her maiden name.[10][11]

She was involved in a car crash on 24 November 2008. She was a passenger. Although she had worn her seat belt, she had a slight concussion.[12][13]
