Career

Kolodko was initially awarded the bronze medal in the shot put competition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, upgraded to silver on the disqualification of Nadzeya Ostapchuk, after recording her personal best of 20.48 m.[1][2] In 2016, she was stripped of the medal after reanalysis of her samples from the event resulted in a positive test for the prohibited substances turinabol and ipamorelin.[3]

Kolodko won silver medals at the 2013 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Gothenburg (disqualified in 2017) and at the 2014 European Athletics Championships in Zurich.

Personal life

Kolodko was born on 22 July 1990 in Neryungri, Siberia. In September 2015, she married the Canadian shot putter Dylan Armstrong, whom she had dated since 2012.[4]
