Updated 2026-08-13

Natalya Sergeyevna Donchenko was the first female Soviet speed skater to win an Olympic medal. She had taught herself to skate on an abandoned rink during World War two. She was spotted and asked to join a skating team. She said her most proud moment was to win in 1945 but her Olympic Silver medal in California was her greatest achievement.
