Golden Age Stars Who Are Still Alive And Doing Great At Retirement!

Larisa Latynina – 86 Years

When Russia was still known as the Soviet Union, Larisa Latynina represented her nation in the gymnastics category. Between 1956 and 1964, Larisa went on to win 18 medals, of which 14 were individual. The talented athlete still holds the title for the most number of medals owned by a gymnast in both gender categories.

After her retirement, Larisa’s 18 medal record remained unchallenged for 48 years. She wasn’t stingy to add on, and chose to become an Olympic coach for her country, leading them to several victories. Currently, Larisa is enjoying her sunset years quietly in an estate in Russia close to Semenovskoye.
