In a country where bodybuilding is widely
viewed as the province of men, the 21-year-old has spent eight
years pumping iron and defying social norms.
She spends on average two hours at the gym each day, but double
when she trains for a competition. In October she won golds at
two events in Ukraine.
"If you train for bodybuilding you will achieve your dreams. If
a woman trains hard, she can be stronger than the strongest of
men. So, do not let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do,"
she said.
