Yelena Yegorovna Gorchakova (Russian: Елена Егоровна Горчакова; 17 May 1933 – 27 January 2002) was a Russian javelin thrower who won bronze medals at the 1952 and 1964 Olympics. Her 1964 bronze was a disappointment as she set a world record in the qualification that remained unbeaten for eight years. During her long career Gorchakova had a fierce competition within the Soviet national team and won the national title only twice, in 1963 and 1965. Read more on Wikipedia
