General
ROLE MODEL
She hopes that the silver medals she won at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and the 2018 Asian Para Games in Indonesia can inspire other people living with an impairment in Kazakhstan to get active. "Para powerlifting has changed my whole outlook on life. There are still people in our country who are stuck within four walls. Whenever I am walking down the street, I invite them to come to the gym, not to be afraid of the metal. People should free themselves from the four walls, open the door and take part in sports."
