Bodybuilding career

Valentina won the European and World Amateur titles in 1997. She then made her professional debut at the 1998 Ms. Olympia contest, finishing in 12th place. Her greatest success as a professional has been winning the heavyweight class at the 2000 Ms. Olympia. No overall winner was named for that show, so she was essentially co-Ms. Olympia with lightweight class winner Andrulla Blanchette. In 2002 she took part in Ms. International, where she won the lightweight class. After a three year break from competition, Chepiga returned to the stage at the 2007 Ms. Olympia, placing eleventh.
