3. The story of her success started seven years
ago in the Russian city of Petrozavodsk…
Up to her 10 year at school,
Nadezhda Kotlyarova lived in a
small Karelian town Suoyarvi and
never thought of an athletics
career. Nadezhda moved to
Petrozavodsk and studied at school
with intensive sports training there.
So she went in for sports only
during her last year at school.

4. Nadezhda’s values
Nadezhda has a young daughter,
and inspite of the complex
training schedule her daughter is
always a prime focus for her.
Nadya takes her daughter with
her to long training trips and the
girl becomes familiar with sports
from her early childhood. When
asked about the main values in
the sportswoman’s life, she
replies without doubts that there
is nothing more important than
her family and her child.

5. How I got to know the champion
I met Nadezhda when I went in for
track and field athletics some years
ago. And she immediately became
a role model for me. At that time I
didn’t know that I trained in the
same gym with a prospective world
champion.
At that moment she just returned
into sport after childbirth. I
admired the young woman who
not only saved her positions after
that, but also improved her level.

6. Now I watch with a sinking
heart all the appearances of
Nadezhda. Every time when
I see her, in person or on
TV, I’m motivated to train
more diligent. She showed
me that everything is
possible. Not only
sportsmen from big cities
have opportunities to
achieve high results.
Everything depends only on
you and your desire.

7. Nadezhda is a cult figure for me. She is a
purposeful and successful person. She
reaches everything because of her
diligence and physical efforts.
I’m convinced that she deserves great
respect.
I’m proud that we are from
the same region!
