The document discusses Natalia Burdyga, a Ukrainian biathlete and her career. It describes how her father first introduced her to biathlon as a child and she developed a passion for the sport. She had early success winning medals at junior championships but saw her career hit a setback when she tested positive for doping in 2006 and was suspended for two years. However, she overcame this challenge and went on to compete for Ukraine after being granted citizenship there in 2010. The document aims to showcase how Burdyga's story demonstrates the importance of perseverance and respect for sport.

2. Sport occupies different
places in the life of each of us.
Nevertheless, we all
understand that sport is one
of the best educators of
character. Any sportsman
should have a great willpower
and patience. Sport has never
been very important for me.
But in spite of this, I always
realize what a great place it
occupies in the life of the
people. It is not only a
hobby, for someone it's a
whole life!

3. My aunt is a person who taught me to like
and respect sport. Her name is Burdyga
Natalia. Nowadays, She is the Ukrainian
biathlete. She was born and was brought up
in the small town of Perm region. She has
liked sport and been a fan of biathlon since
childhood.

4. Her father was her the first personal trainer. He
taught Natalia to like and respect sport. And he
helped her to develop the most important
qualities for sportswoman. When Natalia
graduated from the school she entered the
University of physical culture in Tchaikovsky. She
already had a new trainer. His name is Karincev
I.A.

5. Natalia’s career began
to develop rapidly. She
won 3 gold medals in
2003 on the European
Championship among
juniors. She also won
gold and silver medals in
2004 on the European
Championship among
juniors. But in 2006 was
a turning point in her
career.

6. In 2006 she won the world
summer biathlon, but doping was
found in her blood and she was
deprived of this title. Natalia
Burdyga was disqualified for 2
years. In 2010 Natalia got an
offer to play for the national
team of Ukraine. She agreed and
received Ukrainian citizenship.
In 2010 she already took part
in the international
competition for the national
team of Ukraine.

7. Despite the difficult career, she has never stopped
to love her work and to overcome all the difficulties.
Nowadays, she is the Ukrainian biathlete and she
strives for new victories. I believe, that she can be a
powerful authority for many future sportsmen.
Perhaps, the story of her life will teach someone to
respect and love sport too!
