“They called her Supergirl — then she disappeared” 😳💪 Once the strongest girl on the planet, she shocked the world with her records… and now her transformation has everyone talking. See what she looks like today in the article below 👇📸
This extraordinary girl twice entered the Guinness World Records: At only eight years old, she lifted a barbell weighing 100 kilograms — while she herself weighed just 40.
By the age of fourteen, she had already reached the qualifying standards of professional weightlifters, all without ever resorting to banned substances.
Her name is Varvara Akulova, born on January 11, 1992, in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. For her unbelievable power, she was nicknamed “Supergirl.”
Varvara’s peak of fame came in the early 2000s. During this time, she not only set record after record but also performed in the circus alongside her parents. Her father, Yuri Akulov, became her first coach, instilling in her both discipline and love for competition. He dreamed that his daughter would someday stand on the Olympic stage and be recognized worldwide.
It wasn’t long before her fame spread far beyond Ukraine. She was hailed in international press as “the strongest girl on the planet.”
And then suddenly, she seemed to vanish. For more than a decade, there was no news about her, no features in newspapers, and no appearances on television. People began to wonder: what happened to the strongest girl in the world?
After finishing school, Varvara enrolled in the National University of Physical Education in Kyiv. She graduated with distinction, earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees with top honors. Later, she began working as a fitness trainer while traveling extensively around the world.
“I love what I do and always put my heart into it. Traveling and staying active is what makes me happy,” Varvara has said.
Unlike many, she doesn’t enjoy quiet evenings at home. Her social media showcases her adventurous spirit — snowboarding, skydiving, mountain trekking, hot-air ballooning, and much more.
Today, her Instagram page has nearly 2,000 followers who keep up with her exciting lifestyle.
Fourteen years after her record-breaking childhood, Varvara has grown into a confident and graceful young woman. Her transformation surprises many who remember her only as the little girl lifting enormous weights.
