Irina Slutskaya
The Soviet skating federation allegedly banned Ivanova from competing outside the Soviet Union for two years, beginning in the fall of 1981, for public conflicts with her coach that interfered with her training. She returned to international competition in time for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, where she won bronze. She was the only ladies' single skater to win an Olympic medal for the Soviet Union or Russia until Irina Slutskaya won silver in 2002.
