Competing in long jump, Galina Chistyakova won the 1985 European Indoor Championships and a silver medal at the European Championships one year later. In 1988 she managed to win an Olympic bronze medal in Seoul as well as jumping 7.52 metres, the current world record for women.[1] More gold medals at Indoor Championships followed, and in 1990 she even won the first triple jump event held at the European Indoor Championships.
