Eivile Steikunaite (born 27 November 1992 in Kaunas, Lithuania) is a Lithuanian model and former basketball player.
Career[edit]
Basketball[edit]
Steikunaite started playing basketball when she was eight.[1] In 2008, when she was 15 years old, Steikunaite signed a contract with Aistės Kaunas of the Lithuanian Women's Basketball League (LMKL), the highest level of the Lithuanian women's basketball system.[2] However, before the start of the season, during practice, Steikunaite tore her ACL and was forced to stop playing basketball for almost two years.[3]
Steikunaite managed to bounce back from her injuries. In 2010, she played in the FIBA Europe Under-18 Championship in Slovakia.[4] Later, before the 2010-11 season Steikunaite signed with Laisvė Kaunas of LMKL.[5] In 15 games she averaged 2.2 points and 1.1 rebounds per game.[6] After the season Steikunaite decided to retire from professional basketball.
Before the 2012-13 season, Steikunaite came back on the court and signed with Team Northumbria[7] of National Basketball League, back then the highest level of the British women's basketball system. However, the team finished the season in sixth place[8], and Steikunaite went into her second and final retirement.
Modeling[edit]
Steikunaite started her modeling career when she was 16 years old.[9][10] She received multiple offers to become a full-time model in Lithuania and abroad, but at that time she decided to turn them down due to her basketball career.[11] Nevertheless, Steikunaite was participating in runway shows alongside photoshoots.[11]
In 2011, by fan voting, Steikunaite was elected as the most charming player of the LMKL.[12] Later that year, she participated in a beauty pageant in Kaunas called "Miss Temporary Capital"[13][14] (Kaunas was the temporary capital of Lithuania back in 1920–1939).
Personal life[edit]
Steikunaite got married in 2021.
Currently, besides modeling, Steikunaite works as an interior designer at CASA VIBES.
