This spectacular gymnast took nine Olympic titles (a record equalled by
Mark Spitz and only exceeded by
Ray Ewry - when counting the interim games of
1906), five silver and four bronze medals (an absolute record 18).
Her complete record shows her domination of the sport between her debut in
1954 and her retirement twelve years later. In Olympic, World and European
Championships she took twenty-four gold medals, fifteen silver and five bronze.
What makes this feat even more astonishing is that her career was interrupted
by her giving birth to two children.
Mrs Latynina was renowned for her technical proficiency. Her ease in moving
from one intricate position to another gave the sport a new concept. Moreover
her desire for perfection meant that she kept on improving, forcing her
contemporaries to raise their standard as well. Her best event, the floor
excercises, in which she won three Olympic gold medals, emphasised this grace
of movement. Her efforts and example firmly established the USSR's prominence
in the women's branch of the sport.

Member of the Relay teams of the United Team (1992) and Russia (1994, 1998)
that won gold at Albertville, Lillehammer and Nagano.
She was checked for hemoglobine before the start of the relay at Salt Lake
City and was refused the start. The team was not allowed to substitute her,
thereby denying them (even without Lazutina) an obvious gold medal. Later
it would turn out she failed a doping test, and she was not awarded a gold
medal for her first place in the 30 km, but her other medals from Salt Lake
City were not scrapped.
