This spectacular gymnast took nine Olympic titles, five silver and four bronze medals.
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.
