>Ponomaryeva won discus gold in 1952 and 1960, and bronze in 1956 (this is from memory, I wonder if maybe it was silver in 1956?)<

It was bronze.

Re: Who am I (hat-trick)?

Thanks Noone for the early photo of Dumbadze.
She was really something. She also set a huge WR right after my birthday in '52. I did not know about her until the Euro Champs in '50 but she had a very long career. However, the best looking athlete I saw in my teens was Swedish HJer Gunhild Larking (4th in Melbourne ahead of Balas)

Mine would be Olga Fikotová.

Re: Who am I (hat-trick)?

Eat your heart out, Satch and Pego. If you had got Nina Ponomaryeva, I would have given you Earlene or Olga as prize. You'll have to wait for my next trivia contest which is scheduled sometime in November 2012.

Re: Who am I (hat-trick)?

Since Noone won't give us Olga, I'll have to. Here it is.

Re: Who am I (hat-trick)?

It is interesting in the photo of Dumbadze, she is wearing the singlet of Ukranian SSR. Was that her residence?

Re: Who am I (hat-trick)?

I looked it up. The Russian site states that she lived in Novosibirsk. I can't figure it out from the picture. The first letter could be a Y(U) or an X(KH).
