Early years[edit]

Nazmiye Muslu was born in Konya in 1979. A paraplegic and dependent on wheelchair, she completed her primary education in her hometown.[2]

She began powerlifting by chance through a friend, who insisted she come with her to the workouts. She abandoned the trainings in the beginnings since it was very hard for her. However, her mother and later her father convinced Nazmiye to resume the training activities.[3]

Career history[edit]

Only three months after her beginning again with powerlifting, she was admitted to the national team, and was taken to the European championship held in Portugal without her family's and even her own knowledge before. She took the bronze medal at her international debut.[3]

Muratlı was national champion in 2005 and 2006. She won a bronze medal in 2005 and a gold medal in 2007 at the European championship.[2]

At the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, China, Muratlı became fourth. At the 2012 London Paralympics, she broke her own world record with 109.0 kg lift and took the gold medal.[3] Lifting 104.0 kg in the 41 kg event at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, she set a world record and captured the gold medal. She became so Turkey's first ever sportsperson to win a gold medal in two Paralympics.[5]
