There are not many champions!
We would like to proudly congratulate the charming Maria Yelkhina - the champion of the MiSo Golden Cup 2024 open tournament, held by the All-Ukrainian Federation of Bodybuilding, Fitness and Athletics UBPF in Kyiv, October 12-13.
Throughout her life, the girl was engaged in fitness: thin, gained weight again, thin again. But she always wanted more. And so, in February, Maria decided to give herself a serious challenge — to prepare for a fitness bikini competition.
It was a way of real struggle with oneself: a strict regime, discipline and a clear schedule of training and nutrition. Regardless of everyday worries or family holidays, Maria always packed her bag and went to training, conquering each new stage of training, because she knew that this path was to herself.
Her husband and children were always there, supporting her every step of the way. Maria proved that strict discipline develops not only physical strength, but also character. She became an example of will and endurance for her children, causing admiration in the eyes of her husband.
Maria notes that in the process of preparation it is incredibly important to have a coach by your side who not only makes a plan, but also motivates you not to give up, supports you when it seems that your strength is at its limit. Thanks to the joint work with the coach of the “5 element” club - Valentyn Los @valentyn_los, Maria won three gold medals at the MiSo Golden Cup 2024 open tournament. Note that this was her first competition for Maria, but we are sure that it will not be the last!
Valentin, Maria’s coach, admires her steely stubbornness and thirst for victory: “Maria is an example of how discipline and perseverance can change life. Her determination and desire to achieve the goal are amazing! She never gives up and always moves forward, even when it’s difficult. I’m proud!”
Maria, you are an example of the fact that a woman can achieve anything if she really believes in herself! You are an inspiration and an example that you should never be afraid of your dreams. Set goals and move forward no matter what!
Maria, congratulations! May your wishes continue to come true. But willpower, you definitely don’t want to borrow!
