Povh had her first year of international competition in 2010. She reached the semi-finals of the
60 metres at the
2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships and won a relay bronze medal with Ukraine at the
2010 European Team Championships. She gained selection for the 100 m at the
2010 European Athletics Championships and was eliminated in the semi-finals. However, she went on to have success at the competition as part of the Ukrainian
4 × 100 metres relay team: running with
Nataliya Pohrebnyak,
Mariya Ryemyen, and
Yelyzaveta Bryzhina, the team won the gold medal in a
national record time of 42.29 seconds – the fastest mark in the world that year. The team reprised their roles for the
2010 IAAF Continental Cup, representing Europe, and took the silver medal behind the Americas team. Povh began 2011 with a 60 metres best run of 7.14 seconds, gaining selection for the
2011 European Athletics Indoor Championships. At the
2012 Olympic Games in London she and her teammates
Khrystyna Stuy, Mariya Ryemyen, and Yelyzaveta Bryzhina won the bronze medals in the
4 × 100 metres relay by setting a new national record. On the eve of the
2017 World Championships in Athletics, Povh failed a drug test and was suspended from competing in the championships. In March 2019, the CAS confirmed that Povh committed the anti-doping rule infractions and confirmed the UAF Executive Committee decisions about the disqualification of Povh for four years starting from 15 June 2016. Aged 31, the suspension effectively ended her international career. ==References==
