2. For me Valery Gorkunov is a
man of my youth. I was involved
in cycling being a schoolgirl,
participated in all the junior
tournaments and Valery’s name
was on everybody’s lips. Valery
was our idol. Later, as a student of
OGPI, I got interested in
motorsports, received license
category A, B. I can’t imagine my
life without sport. And even now
having four grandchildren I ride a
bike, a motorbike and a water
scooter.

away by riding a bicycle. In 1957, he took part in school sports festival in
Volgograd, and three years later earned a master of sports’ badge.
