Early life
Before Atamanov was born, her parents emigrated from Uzbekistan to Israel.[1][6] She was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, and is Jewish.[7][8] She attended Tomshin High School.[9]

She said, "I always have the same goal: to feel I gave it my all and put out the best performance on the carpet. My love for this sport is what inspires me the most. I just love it. It excites me and every time I'm on the carpet, I feel that fire inside."[1]
Junior; Junior European Champion
During her junior career, Atamanov was the 2020 Junior European Champion in Kyiv, Ukraine, with clubs. She was also the silver medallist with rope and bronze medallist with ribbon, and she was fourth in the ball final. Atamanov also captured the highest all-around Junior score.[12][13]
