Well, what to say more than is on my sites and in my profile? I started very young, but I never thought about sport career. I only wanted to have muscles as I love the V shape and nice round curves on both females and males bodies. And I wished to build my physique this way too.
I had good years and really bad years. I became known in Teenage division very soon and in 1997 I was second in the National teenage championship. I was in B-team of our National teenage team. But I had the injury of the left knee and I was one year out. Than I tried to manage the comeback but I had not good conditioning. I am not blaming anyone, who helped me that time – as usually I was alone – no coach, no support, and no help. I did a lot of foolish things than. In 2000 I had scary injury, when I felt from the horse (as you may see horse riding is still my passion too) and the horse went over me… It took one year to get back to the gym, but next two years to come back in some small magazine based competitions…. I won them all and I thought it was my biggest success. But I see it was also a big failure as maybe I started to be too „blinded“by the shine of success …. The big bump came in 2006 on my first open Figure competition. I was not in a good shape again, as I was ill before and I had only 3 weeks to prepare and to lose 22 lbs… But nobody asks about illnesses when you are on stage. I got a plenty of hatefull responses and I was decided to stop this sport and do this only for myself as I can not live without training.
In 2007 there was the Luck on my side again. I got invitations abroad and I was competing in Bulgaria and in Germany – and mainly the Universe in Germany was the greatest show I ever was on. Bulgarian GP was rather smaller and „family atmosphere“, but also nice. I met a lot of great girls there… I did not win any of those, but I loved it.
In 2008 – bad luck turn was here – I got a very serious illness which affected my kidneys and muscles. It came from average urinal infection I overcame during the precontest. I spent 5 days in the hospital – 3 days fully paralyzed between life and death. I realized how important is everything for me, including my family and my fiancé, who was there with me all the time. I realized that life and health is a gift. However after those five days I returned home from the hospital – despite doctors wanted me to stay there. But I was next three months at home and without any training. Next three months I was getting back to the starting point….
Now I hope my bad luck is away. I started precontest few weeks ago – yes – full 9 months; as illness uncovered also my thyroid gland problems J . I hope to survive that and to come in 2009 prepared again.
