Naumava has two sisters. All sisters are teachers by profession. They grew up in a peasant family, and the eldest, Polina, trained in kettlebell lifting. Darya first took up shot put and discus throw, but around the age of 16 changed to weightlifting, which fitted better to her relatively short stature (1.65 m).[1]
