In this post, we will talk about a girl from the Krasnoyarsk Territory who not only fashioned her body in the hall, but was also able to realize herself in the world of professional bodybuilding here and abroad. Natalya Batova is a vivid example of determination and hard work. But is it easy to be a living icon of female bodybuilding? How do surrounding people relate to their unusual appearance? How does Natalia see her future chosen one? We will talk about this in this article.
A vivid example - Natalya Batova
Bodybuilding in Russia has long been at the level with such popular sports disciplines as football or hockey. A separate article in this sport is female bodybuilding. Is it right or wrong for a girl to "pull" iron? Does a woman’s muscular pumped body lose its attractiveness, or vice versa, does it acquire it? Whereas in America, women's competitive sport took pride of place in the eighties, in Russia, female bodybuilding began to develop only in the twenty-first century. And despite this, the athletic body of a female body still does not cause delight and respect for everyone. But in vain. Pay attention to the girl, which will be discussed further.
One of the brightest examples of transformation in domestic bodybuilding is Natalya Batova, whose photo is admired and envious by both men and women. Of course, looking at such results, it is impossible not to wonder how Natalya Batova was able to achieve such successes.
History of Natalia
It should be noted that today Natalya is the only girl in Krasnoyarsk who independently “fashioned” her body in the hall.
Why is Natalya Batova phenomenal? Her biography does not seem unusual. The girl drew attention to power sports at the age of twelve, but made a conscious decision to engage later and began training at 21. At first, Natalya could not find a good coach for herself and was engaged in herself. Her first coach was Yuri Leonov and, having spent a year under his auspices, Natalia took to the stage at the bodybuilding championship in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where the girl took second place.
Until 2005, Natalia Batova took part only in the Russian championships. These were several championships in Siberia, in 2003 Natalia took 4th place in the Russian championship, a year later - third.
Performances and Awards
Since 2005, bodybuilder Natalya Batova has been participating in European Championships. So, the first to be invited by the Austrian Federation.
Natalia takes the second place, beating the compatriot. In 2007, Natalya Batova became the absolute champion of Eastern Europe, winning the category "Female Bodybuilding". A year later, the girl wins the twentieth Russian championship in body fitness. In 2008, Natalia performs in Santa Susan at the world championship and takes 8th place.
In 2009 - performance in Khanty-Mansiysk. Natalia becomes the absolute champion in the category of "Women". Since 2010, Natalia continued to actively conquer Europe and the world. So, she again receives the title of champion of Eastern Europe, for the fourth time. In 2012 Batova received the status of “IFBB Professional”. Her first tournament in the new status of a professional in Hartford is unsuccessful in 2013, but after a short period of time in the same year, Natalia brilliantly performs in Chicago.
TV Shooting
Natalya Batova performs not only in professional championships. Taking pleasure in the filming, she performs at various talk shows, starred in reality and comedy shows.
So, for example, in 2010 on the Muz-TV channel the show “Fitness Heroes” began, which was designed to show the stars of Russian bodybuilding in a true light. Natalia did not receive a prize in it, but she took the loss quite calmly.
Bodybuilder woman - what is it
Is it easy for a girl to live in modern Russia, having a sculptural relief and iron muscles? In an interview with Margarita Baranova, Natalia admits that this is not at all easy, especially in the summer. Natalya hears not only surprised whistles after her and admired sighs, but also completely unflattering criticism of herself. Sometimes it goes to extremes, as it happened that people who did not understand the sport and healthy athleticism of the body, called Natalia and a transvestite, and a man. As Natalya herself says, there is no worse insult for her, and even thought occurred to quit this sport. It’s better to hear that you are fat or just stupid, but not unfair comparisons with a man!
A bit about personal
And what about the girl’s personal life? Natalya prefers not to advertise her romantic relationship. So, for example, she does not hide that she was married in her youth, according to Natalya - unsuccessfully, since there was an early divorce at the wedding. The worst thing for a girl in a relationship today is to compromise, especially when it comes to sports or training. So, if a man is neglecting the matter of Natalia’s life, she turns around and leaves. Should the gentleman of Natalia be just like her, obsessed with sports? Batova says that in no case. To the questions about the offspring, the girl replies that she is not yet ripe, moreover, having a baby is to fly out of sport for at least three years.
