Fridiver Molchanova Biography

In the past, the President of the Russian Federation Fredining. A woman who set more than forty world records. Childhood and youth in the past, and today, too, Natalya Molchanov among athletes and fans is called the “queen of Fridiving”. By the way, this type of in -trustees obliges athletes to rely only on their lungs. The representative of Russia spent ten years in big sport and during this time set more than forty records.

The woman did not breathe under water for a little more than nine minutes, became the first of the women to overcome the blue hole on the same breath in Egypt, and also fell to a depth of more than a hundred meters. Molchanova in her life always adored water and depth, since this element reciprocated her and only once did not help the athlete return to the surface.

Her upbringing was engaged in an older sister named Rina. Sport appeared in the life of the queen of water sports early enough. From an early age and up to the third grade, Natalia visited a skating rink, where she was engaged in figure skating and only by the end of the elementary grades she switched to swimming. By the end of school, Molchanov already knew that her whole further life would be connected with an active way of life.

And therefore, after receiving diplomas on school education, she went to the State Academy of Physical Culture in Volgograd, where she first “met” with depth. Natalya Molchanova at the age of twenty had the Russian woman had the title of master of sports, and her workouts each time became more and more active. From the competition to the competition, the girl became more powerful and stronger, overcoming obstacles and going around the rivals, but meeting the young man who became her husband, abandoned her career.

For the family and coaches of Natalia Molchanova, such a step was unexpected, but the girl assured that she thought over everything and was doing the right thing. A young man named Oleg, who also devoted a lot of time and effort to sport, his personal life. The couple met at the next competition, when Natalia was already a fifth -year student at the university. In those years, it seemed to her that the choice in favor of the family is the only right one, and therefore, when the husband spoke about the children, she easily left sport.

In the year, the eldest daughter of Oksana was born in the family, and two years later, the younger heir Alexei. Molchanov plunged into the motherhood, as if in the stormy waters with her head.

Engaged in the upbringing of the heirs, she sent children to the best school, carried them to sections, various circles and went on vacation to the sea coast every summer. The spouse, who pushed his wife to the birth of children, tried to stay away from the desired offspring. In the nineties, like many compatriots, the man devoted himself to “business”. Natalya Molchanova when Molchanova found out about her mistress, and their personal life was divided, the athlete was not particularly surprised.

Officially, marriage is divorced in the year. What remains of this relationship is a salary from coaching work and children. At the same time, the funds were enough only for accommodation. In those days when the girl barely made ends meet, relatives provided her financial assistance, but Natalya categorically rejected her. Over time, Molchanova got a job. Constant lack of sleep, eternal stress and nervousness led to a sharp deterioration in health, which ended in three -year depression.

As if the further life of the athlete was unknown, but one of the days Natalya Vadimovna read the article dedicated to Fridiving. At this moment, she again remembered what it was to feel freely swaying on the waves, stall, plunging to the depth and succumbed to the flow, and then swim to the surface. By the age of thirty -nine, Molchanova again felt free and happy.

By this time, Alexei, like his mother, devoted his life to swimming, becoming a student at the Olympic Reserve School, which is located in St. Petersburg. At the same time, Oksana was already a student at the higher educational institution of Moscow. Natalya Vadimovna spent the free time that appeared with benefit. Having contacted Julia Petrik, who is the first of the representatives of Fridiving, Molchanova left for Egypt, having passed under her leadership ten -day training courses.

Natalya Molchanova with her son at the end of the Molchanov course was already diving to a depth of forty meters, and this, for a minute, is more than ten floors. Her teachers Julia Petrik was surprised and struck by such a result, and therefore she recommended the best of the students to think about professional fridding. Without hesitation for a minute, Natalya went to Moscow, where she began to build a new life.

Literally from the first performances, Molchanov showed high results and set new records. In the year, Natalya Vadimovna first performed on a professional site, taking first place in the open Cup of the city of Moscow. Having held her breath for almost six minutes, she sailed a distance of one hundred and forty -two meters on one inhalation. A month later, the “Queen of Fridiving” broke her record, sailing one hundred and fifty meters and repeated the record installed all over the world.It is worth noting that Natalya Molchanova has her own technique of immersion and breathing, as world -class experts refused her help, amazed at the potential.

For this reason, the athlete trained independently, remembering the features of the behavior of rivals during the competition. For example, on some of them a woman noticed that athletes, before plunging under water "as if immersing themselves in a coma." In fact, they turn off the brain, making breathing deep and measured, as if in a dream. It was after this that Molchanova began to practice various techniques of meditation.

It should be noted that Natalya Vadimovna scrupulously noted all her workouts, and after clarification that these methods give results, she began to create training clips that she provided to beginner freedians. The woman openly spoke about her achievements and personally truths in numerous interviews. In her opinion, the main rule of the freediver is: "Movement, relaxation, as well as a combination, and not at all the conquest of the elements." In the next thirteen years, the athlete climbed to the top of the pedestal of the world championship and set forty -one world records.

Its achievements are recognized by all associations in all countries where scenting swimming is quite popular. Nobody ever encroached on the status of the “queen”. To date, there are no awards like a single woman in the world. If you recall the most amazing achievements in the career of Molchanova, then this is conquest in Egypt of the so -called “blue hole”.

Many divers call this vertically located arch “cemetery”. On the way to it, a huge number of plates are installed on which the names of the dead daredevils are written. Molchanova, as well as her son, were the first of the Russians to return from this cemetery. According to the woman, she, along with her son, was preparing for immersion for a long time and several times dived into the arch simply to get used to the sensations.

On the day when they decided to make a swim, scuba divers were on the insurance, and at the exit they were met by other freedians. It took about three minutes to conquer the “Dive cemetery” to Alexei and Natalia Molchanov. The woman and her son sank by seventy meters, where, according to her story, reefs of dark blue color, as if shrouded in a blue glow. At the same time, all this was made on a single breath.

In the photo, which were taken after leaving the water, the athlete and her son look incredibly happy. Subsequently, Natalya recalled that day with an unchanged smile. They may be familiar.
