Kind outlaws from the Gomel region, Zyabrovk's village.  Here she lived, studied.  And, maybe, its further life would develop absolutely according to other scenario if once to Zyabrovka there didn't arrive Petr Pavlovich Babey.  Here is how Masha tells about the first meeting with the future trainer: 

—  It arrived to collect children in section.  We with the girl accidental glanced to the sports hall, there children already gathered …  So I there also remained.  Mother at first was against my such hobby, but then accepted and got used. 

Masha started being engaged in free-style wrestling with the 5th class of school.  That the girl has data for this sport, the trainer noted from the first occupations.  But he knew and that without interest, persistence and ability to overcome difficulties the athlete hardly will take place.  Masha had all this. 

From the 9th class the girl arrived in school of the Olympic reserve where she was trained by George Arutyunovich Dzhangirov.  And in some years without examinations for a medal in the European championship I arrived in name F GGU.  Skorina on faculty of physical culture.  Now Masha lives and trains in Gomel, studies in absentia, entered the fourth year. 

Maria Mamoshuk outgrew for a long time level of the sportswoman from the remote place. Now at it till 10-11 trainings in a week, the deserved master of sports, the silver prize-winner of Olympic Games, world champion Sergey Nikolaevich Smal trains her. But the first trainer, Palycha as she calls it, the girl never forgets and always with it on communication. After all it it put grains of her skill and that incredible will to win.

At competitions Masha appears in weight category to 63 kg. Among awards which can tell for itself — her first medal for the 3rd place in the European championship in 2009 and a medal for the 2nd place in the European championship among juniors in the Croatian Zagreb in the 2012th. Let's add to it success at many republican competitions, including gold in personal offset on the Cup of Belarus on free-style wrestling in February of this year — and voila!

Now to Masha 20.  Quite recently it got a nominal grant of sporting club of Federation of labor unions of Belarus.  At the sportswoman there is a lot of plans, and her diagram for the next three months for a long time is painted. 

—  On a nose the 27th World summer University games in Kazan, on July 10 we take off.  Then we come, directly we go on collections to Alushta, then we have a collection in Mogilyov.  Then there will be a tournament in Poland, then again preparation, and in September — the World Cup — Masha Mamoshuk speaks. 

At the girl, sporting, party.  Practically all her friends — athletes, and the guy — too the wrestler. 

—  Free-style wrestling — this my favourite business.  Probably, the highest point which the athlete can reach — is the Olympic Games.  And I want, I dream to get on it.  And farther it will be visible.
