Athlete Biography
Daria Andreevna was born on June 22, 1993 in Irkutsk. From birth, the girl began to show interest in sports. She studied in the local children's sports society. At first, little Dasha did not stand out against the general background among her peers. On the contrary, it was considered unpromising.
But the girl did not give up and laid out in training. This aspiration allowed her at the age of eight to fall under the care of a very gifted teacher and trainer Olga Buyanova. It was she who insisted that Daria take her classes in rhythmic gymnastics seriously.
After several successful performances at Russian competitions, the head coach of the Russian national team Irina Viner drew attention to Dmitriev. This was followed by the invitation of the athlete to Moscow and her speedy move. Moreover, together with Daria, the first coach of the girl went to the capital. At that time, Dmitrieva was already almost 14 years old.
A year later, Daria began to successfully compete in international competitions. First, she won the European Championships. Then Dmitrieva, along with other gymnasts, became the world champion. At the championship of Russia, the girl managed to win the entire set of awards. After the first successes, the athlete received the title of Honored Master of Sports.
The following season, Dmitrieva again became the world and European champion, as well as the winner of the Universiade. But the main dream of any athlete is to speak at the Olympic Games.
Such an honor to represent the country fell to Daria in 2012. She won inside the team fight with other gymnasts for the right to speak at the Olympics. In London, the girl became the silver medalist of the all-around games. This was a very serious success for the athlete. After returning to her homeland, Dmitrieva received a state award - the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland".
The following season, after the Olympic Games in London, Daria was seriously injured and she needed surgery. It took a lot of time to recover, and the girl did not return to big sport. She did not officially announce the completion of her sports career, but simply switched to work as a coach.
Dmitrieva received the necessary coaching license and opened her own school of rhythmic gymnastics. The girl also created a wedding agency that conducts weddings and other celebrations.
