Olga Fatkulina

Olga Aleksandrovna Fatkulina is a Russian speed skater. Honored Master of Sports. Multiple champion of Russia and the world. Winner of the World Cup.

Olga was born on January 23, 1990 in Chelyabinsk. When the girl was 6 years old, she was left without parents. Mother, unable to withstand difficult life circumstances, ended her life after swallowing pills. When Olya and her older brother understood everything and called an ambulance, it was too late. The father drank a lot, and soon completely disappeared from the lives of the children. And after a few years it became known that he also died, having drunk himself completely.

Grandma Maria Lukinichna took custody of Olga and her brother. Her upbringing measures were extremely harsh. The girl and grandmother could not find a common language in any way, they constantly swore. Once distant relatives showed a desire to adopt Olya, but the matter did not go beyond words. In addition, the girl's childhood passed in a rather cramped housing situation. And the family's financial situation was more than modest.

Fatkulina does not like to talk about this period of her life, these are difficult memories. But the Vedomosti special correspondent still managed to get a frank interview from the girl, in which she shared the story of her sad childhood. Therefore, she does not get tired of repeating that sport saved her.

In the third grade, a coach Svetlana Zhuravleva from a children's sports school came to school, and Olga decided to go to the speed skating section. Grandma did not mind. At first, Fatkulina did everything, as they say, from under a stick. She little understood why she needed all this, because this sport is very difficult. But when she began to win awards and prizes, she began to devote more time to training. She soon became convinced that this was her future. In an interview, she emphasizes that she lived at the expense of a sports school: food, clothing, inventory, equipment, vitamins.

Plus, Svetlana Zhuravleva believed in her, Olga said more than once that the coach became her second mother. And it was Zhuravleva who determined the specialization for Fatkulina - sprint all-around.

In 2008 and 2009, Olga Fatkulina competed in the junior world championships, she participated in races at four distances - 500, 1000, 1500 and 3000 meters. In 2008, she won bronze in the kilometer race. And in 2009 she received two bronzes for 1000 m and 1500 m and a gold medal for a distance of 500 m. Such results could not be unnoticed, so in 2009 the athlete performed at the Russian Championship. And she managed to take 4th place, although her rivals were more experienced and eminent athletes.

While the girl was at the competition, her grandmother died. Olga was 19 years old. On New Year's Eve, she received an unexpected gift - the Chelyabinsk authorities handed Fatkulina the keys to her new two-room apartment. The girl, who all the time lived in a little one-room apartment with relatives, was happy and grateful for such a gift.

In 2010, Olga was included in the Russian national team at the Vancouver Olympics. The girl took 20th place.

2011 was truly golden for Fatkulina. At the Russian championship, she receives three gold medals - at a distance of 500 m, 1000 m and in the sprint. In 2012, she again rises to the podium - gold in the sprint and silver at a distance of 500 m.

In 2013, she again takes gold at the Russian all-around sprint championship. Also receives gold for 500m and silver for 1000m. At the World Championships, which was held in Sochi, she also won a gold medal for the kilometer race. And for a distance of 500 m she won bronze.

Since the spring of 2013, Olga began to prepare for the Olympic Games in Sochi. She knew that she had no right to fail her country. In Sochi, the girl won silver in the 500 m race, ahead of the representative of South Korea Lee Sang Hwa. Fatkulina was only 0.36 seconds behind her.

In 2014, she became the owner of the World Cup in speed skating in the 500-meter race. After the Olympics, Vladimir Putin awarded Olga Fatkulina with the Medal of the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, 1st degree.

Olga Fatkulina is not married. They do not spread about their relationship, so there is no information whether the girl is dating anyone. In 2014, in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, she spoke about her ideal of a man. For her, the main thing is that the guy is caring, that he needs her.

She actively maintains her Instagram, uploads photos from competitions and training camps, as well as home shots. She also publishes photos in a swimsuit, which show that the athlete is in great shape. With a height of 172 cm, Olga weighs 68 kg.

On November 24, 2017, the International Olympic Committee decided to deprive Olga Fatkulina of the silver medal received at the Sochi Olympics. This decision is related to an anti-doping rule violation. In fact, Olga was accused of doping. But this turned out to be an insufficient measure for the IOC, Fatkulina was suspended from participation in the Olympic Games for life.

Of course, Olga does not agree with this decision. She refuses to communicate with journalists, but on her VKontakte page she said that she was not going to make excuses, especially for what she did not do. And she has nothing more to say. The athlete plans to defend her rights in court.
