Archery is not a sport for the faint of heart. In recent years, Russian athletes have significantly increased their combat potential. Inna Stepanova performs effectively in international competitions.
Starting conditions
Russian sports fans follow the international competitions with passion. For archery enthusiasts, there is good news at the moment. Inna Yakovlevna Stepanova has been enrolled in the national team of the country that will go to the Olympic Games in 2020. This became known after the qualifying competitions in the fall of 2019. There is not so much time left for the full training of athletes. Trainers need to conduct a full range of general and psychological endurance classes.
The mentors have developed individual training maps for each member of the national team. Including with Inna Stepanova. The future champion was born on April 17, 1990 in an ordinary Russian family. Parents lived in the famous city of Ulan-Ude. By that time, the older brothers already had their own families and apartments. The father soon died. The mother worked at a construction site, and she had to raise her late daughter alone. The girl got used to independence from an early age. Since my mother was at work all day, Inna had to clean the house herself. Prepare your own lunch and wash your clothes.
Sports achivments
Inna studied well at school. I did well in all subjects. She loved drawing lessons. She actively participated in social events and sports competitions. The girl came to the archery section with a classmate. As often happens, at first she was shy and behaved stiffly. However, after a while I got used to it and began to show quite decent results. For an archer, not only shooting technique is important, but also the experience of participating in competitions. Stepanova went to the first competitions among juniors when she was fifteen years old.
Stepanova won her first victory in the team competition at the 2010 European Championships. The sports career of an archer from Ulan-Ude was quite successful. At the 2011 Asian Grand Prix, Inna became the best individual. At the 2015 World Cup, she made her worthy contribution to the team victory. At the 2016 Olympic Games, a team of Russian archers won silver in the team competition. The Russian team has reached such heights for the first time.
Prospects and personal life
In parallel with training and performing at competitions, Stepanova received a specialized education at the Faculty of Physical Education of the Buryat State University. Inna Stepanova was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland for her sporting achievements.
The personal life of the athlete has developed well. In 2016, Inna Stepanova married Timur Batorov. The husband is a master of sports in wrestling. Today the husband and wife are raising a daughter, whose name is Victoria.
In preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games, Inna has already started training.
