Natalia was born on June 24, 1961 in Rostov-on-Don. She trained at
Dynamo Rostov and was coached by Vladislav Rastorotsky (who also
coached Ludmila Turischeva, Natalia Yurchenko and Albina Shishova).
Shaposhnikova is perhaps best known as being the first female to
perform giant swings on uneven bars. Her beam routine was also
memorable, featuring a planche mount and one-arm twisting handstand,
skills that are rarely performed today.

Natalia married Pavel Sut, a USSR national team member, on May 1,
1982. They have a daughter, Olga, and a son, Paul. The Suts live in
New Jersey and own a gym school called Gymnastika.
