As you know, the athletes of the Soviet Union made its debut at the Olympics in 1952. And after eight years Voronezh gained his first triumph of the Games.

Her partner on a brilliant team of the USSR were the legendary Larisa Latynina, Lydia Ivanova, Pauline Astakhov, Margarita Nikolaeva, Sophia Muratov. In Rome in 1960, our compatriot has twice raised on a pedestal. She managed to win the bronze medal in the floor exercise and uneven bars. In both types of programs ahead of Voronezh athlete managed only compatriot - already mentioned Latynina and Astakhov.
Gone for another four years, and she went to his second Olympics - in Tokyo. Composition of female national team updated half, but Soviet girls again proved that they equal the planet simply does not. Representatives ahead of Czechoslovakia and Japanese women, and here they have excelled in the team standings.
