In 2012, on August 17, a beautiful wedding ceremony was held for two Olympic champions - Natalia Goncharova and Alexey Obmochaev.

But, unfortunately, the most attractive sports couple has ceased to exist as a family. The divorce of Goncharova and Obmochaev struck like a bolt from the blue.
The life and success of Goncharova
Natalia Goncharova was born in 1989, on June 1, in Ukraine, in the city of Skole.
Back in 2007, no one could even think that this young girl would become the Olympic champion of Russia. At that time, Natalya was part of the Ukrainian national volleyball team, which tried to get to the Olympics in China.
In the summer of the same 2007, two Goncharova sisters (Natalya and older Valeria) went to try their luck in Russia and joined the Dynamo Moscow club. To obtain Russian citizenship, the girls took a long 2 years.
The debut of Natalia Goncharova took place in the summer of 2010. After 3 months, the girl became the Olympic champion of our country.
In the Dynamo club, and in the Russian team as a whole, the young volleyball player was in the shadow of the famous Ekaterina Gamova. The thing is in a similar position and playing characteristics of both athletes. The situation completely changed when Gamova moved to Turkey.
The success story of Alexei Obmochaev
Alexey Obmochaev was born in 1989, on May 22, in the city of Kislovodsk. The boy became interested in volleyball at the age of 6 and began to attend the local Start club. Obmochaev trained under the guidance of Honored Russian coach Omari Butaev. Over time, the young man got into the club "Neftekhimik" in the city of Salavat.
In the fall of 2008, Alexey Obmochayev as part of Neftekhimik received bronze for third place in the European Youth Championship. The young athlete entered the Kazan Federal University at the Faculty of Physical Culture, Restorative Medicine and Sports, which he brilliantly graduated from. As part of the Russian national volleyball team, he won the gold of the 2012 Olympics.
The wedding of two sports hearts
The love story between Obmochaev and Goncharova is quite simple and ordinary. We met, fell in love, got married. But in the world of sports, it’s quite difficult to allocate time for personal life and its construction.
Natalia and Alexey found an opportunity to build a relationship. He was a player of Kazan “Zenith”, and she - of the Moscow “Dynamo”, both knew each other and often faced at team training. A sparkling romance spun, followed by a wedding in 2012.
After the London 2012 Olympics, athletes officially registered their relationship. The wedding ceremony took place on August 17. It is worth noting that it was at this Olympics in London that Alexey Obmochaev won the most prestigious volleyball title.
Despite the whole idyll, everything was not so good and calm in the family. The news that Obmochaev and his wife divorced was a sensation in the world of sports.
Rumors of a divorce
Gossip that the divorce of Obmochaev and Natalia Goncharova is not far off has been around for a long time, since 2014. Magazine pages were full of information that the most beautiful sports couple, Aleksey Obmochaev and Natalya Obmochaeva, were breaking up. The divorce allegedly did not take place officially, and the couple do not live together. This news did not surprise anyone, because people around her, fans and colleagues simply did not believe the rumors.
Too happy was this relationship. Life was harmonious, and the spouses themselves constantly repeated this on all social networks.
But there is no smoke without fire. And rumors that Natalya Goncharova and Aleksey Obmochaev, whose divorce is not far off, alas, have been confirmed, are categorically unsuitable for each other.
Something went wrong
After the marriage was registered, the athletes constantly posted on their social networks their lucky photos and videos, where they enjoyed life, played with the puppy. In general, the newly-made spouses in every possible way advertised their family life.
Each of these outstanding athletes has a stubborn character, the presence of which is so important in the harsh sports world. Around Alexey there were constantly rumors of his misconduct. He was repeatedly disqualified from competitions for obscene off-site behavior. But the athlete's talent was beyond any doubt. Often a volleyball player showed such a high-quality game that they began to call him the best libero.
A scandal broke out between Obmochaev and Vladimir Alekno, which served as an impetus for the transfer of the athlete to Dynamo Moscow.
Colleagues and friends of young people argue that Natalia herself has a difficult character. On the pages of sports observers and magazines often appeared information about the athlete’s strange attacks against numerous fans and reporters.
4 years after the registration of relations in the family of Olympic champions, a split occurred. The true reason for the divorce of Goncharova and Obmochaev will remain a mystery to everyone. But the life situation is displayed in the game of two athletes. Alexey missed several matches, and teammates are often surprised by the abrupt change in the mood of the girl.
The official divorce of Obmochaev and Goncharova occurred in 2016, which was a shock to others.
Goncharova's reviews of divorce
In Russia, and in the sports world, it became more than one unmarried beautiful girl of athletic appearance. She became Natalia Goncharova (in the marriage of Obmochaev).
Natasha spoke about her breakup with Olympic volleyball champion in an interview with one of the magazines. She said that the divorce is officially framed, which is in active search. The family life did not disappoint the girl, she just did not ask. Of course, sport requires a lot of effort and nerves, but you also need to take into account your own personal life, which needs to be established.
It is worth noting that Natalia Goncharova has amazing qualities: an ardent fan of the Spartak football club, a real beauty, an Olympic champion, a master of sports in volleyball, etc.
Change of surname: revenge on a former spouse or a whim?
Natalia Goncharova, the diagonal player of the Dynamo sports club in the capital, decided on a revelation and in an interview told why she decided to abandon her husband’s surname in favor of the girl’s. The starting point was a divorce, Obmochaeva again became Goncharova.
Natasha claims that the divorce did not affect the change of surname. Obmochaeva is a surname that Natasha didn’t really like, a girl who is much more attractive to her. The girl is not angry if others are turning to her, saying the name of her husband. Over time, everyone will get used to the fact that Natalia Goncharova again.
The former spouses Goncharova and Obmochaev Alexei have little communication now. Divorce, of course, negatively affected the relationship. Young people can talk, they do not argue and do not conflict, they just communicate as acquaintances. The real reasons for Obmochaev’s divorce have remained a secret for fans and colleagues.
