Sport cross-country skiing Larisa Lazutina. Larisa Lazutina - biography, information, personal life
2. Sports career of Larisa Lazutina
Larisa Lazutina (Ptitsyna), while still at school, began to compete in republican competitions, she was a member of the cross-country skiing team from the age of nineteen, since 1984.
At the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, Larisa sat on the bench. Although by that time she had a winning relay at the 1987 World Cup.
Then in Oberstdorf, at the third stage of the women's relay race, Ptitsyna and world champion Anne Yarey fought. They changed places twice, leading the race, but then the advantage of a student from Petrozavodsk began to emerge, whose skis, especially on the slopes, “ran” faster. At the finish line, our team was the first.
After the Olympics, Larisa Ptitsyna married the famous skier Gennady Lazutin. Having changed her surname, in 1990 she achieved great success - she became the owner of the 1990 World Cup. But then she gave birth to a daughter, named Alice, and missed the next season.
In 1992, Larisa returned from Albertville with her first Olympic gold medal in the relay. The CIS team beat the Norwegians by almost twenty-three seconds. But in the individual competition, Larisa had nothing to brag about. Seventh place on the "five", eighth on the "ten" and fifth on the "thirty". At the last distance, she lost to the first place by 4 minutes and 2 seconds.
At the Olympic Games in Norwegian Lilehammer, the situation repeated itself - Lazutina again wins in the relay race as part of the Russian team. And again, there is nothing to brag about in individual races.
But in 1995, Lazutina made a splash at the World Championships in American Thunder Bay. She won four gold medals! The beginning was laid with a victory over a fifteen-kilometer distance in the classical style. Larisa took a high pace from the start and kept it until the finish.
And after the 1997 season, Larisa almost left the track. Having been ill with a severe flu with a complication, she trained with incredible difficulty. But the results didn't go up. After the 1995 World Championships, she could not win a single distance in Tron-heim-97. Little by little they began to forget about Lazutina. She herself had already mastered the role of a housewife in her cozy apartment in Odintsovo near Moscow, she moved her daughter to her place. And then....
The mentors of the talented skier, realizing that something was wrong with the athlete, created special training conditions for her. They organized Lazutina's environment in which she felt the one and only.
The results were not long in coming. Larisa returned from the Olympics in Nagano (1998) with a harvest of awards: she excelled at distances of 5 and 10 km, won silver and bronze medals at distances of 15 and 30 km, respectively, and also became the winner (as part of the team) in the 4x5 km relay. After the Olympics, by decree of the President of Russia, Larisa Lazutina was awarded the title of Hero of Russia.
At the 1999 World Championships, the athlete was a two-time gold medalist, winning one of the medals at the most difficult distance - the "thirty". In the 1999-2000 season. the ski sprint let the athlete down and deprived her of the chances of winning the World Cup.
During her sports career, Larisa Lazutina became a five-time Olympic champion of the Olympic Games, an eleven-time world champion, a two-time World Cup winner, a multiple champion of the USSR and Russia, and an honored master of sports. After successful starts at the Olympic Games in Lillehammer in 1994, she was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples, and at the Olympics in Nagano she won medals in all five races, after which she was awarded the title of Hero Russian Federation.
The last Olympics in the sports career of L.E. Lazutina was held in Salt Lake City (USA) in 2002. She won two silver medals, but the gold medal for the 30 km race was stripped from the champion based on the results of doping control. On June 29, 2003, at a meeting of the International Olympic Committee in Prague (Czech Republic), a very controversial decision was made to annul all the results of L.E. Lazutina in international competitions after December 2001.

An excerpt characterizing Lazutina, Larisa Evgenievna
The general, accepting the colonel's invitation to the tournament of courage, straightening his chest and frowning, rode with him in the direction of the chain, as if all their disagreement was to be decided there, in the chain, under the bullets. They arrived at the chain, several bullets flew over them, and they silently stopped. There was nothing to see in the chain, since even from the place where they had previously stood, it was clear that it was impossible for the cavalry to operate through the bushes and ravines, and that the French were bypassing the left wing. The general and the colonel looked sternly and significantly as the two roosters, preparing for battle, looked at each other, waiting in vain for signs of cowardice. Both passed the test. Since there was nothing to say, and neither one nor the other wanted to give a reason to the other to say that he was the first to get out from under the bullets, they would have stood there for a long time, mutually experiencing courage, if at that time in the forest, almost behind them, the rattle of guns and a muffled, merging cry were heard. The French attacked the soldiers who were in the forest with firewood. The hussars could no longer retreat with the infantry. They were cut off from the retreat to the left by a French line. Now, however inconvenient the terrain was, it was necessary to attack in order to make their way.The squadron, where Rostov served, who had just managed to get on his horses, was stopped facing the enemy. Again, as on the Ensky bridge, there was no one between the squadron and the enemy, and between them, separating them, lay the same terrible line of uncertainty and fear, as it were, a line separating the living from the dead. All people felt this line, and the question of whether or not they would cross the line and how they would cross the line worried them.
A colonel rode up to the front, angrily answered something to the questions of the officers, and, like a man desperately insisting on his own, gave some kind of order. No one said anything definitive, but rumors of an attack swept through the squadron. There was a command to build, then sabers screeched out of their scabbards. But still no one moved. The troops of the left flank, both the infantry and the hussars, felt that the authorities themselves did not know what to do, and the indecision of the commanders was communicated to the troops.
“Hurry, hurry,” thought Rostov, feeling that at last the time had come to taste the pleasure of the attack, about which he had heard so much from his comrades hussars.
- With God, g "fuck," Denisov's voice sounded, - g "ysyo, magician" sh!
In the front row, the croups of horses swayed. Grachik pulled the reins and set off on his own.
On the right, Rostov saw the first ranks of his hussars, and even further ahead he could see a dark stripe, which he could not see, but considered the enemy. Shots were heard, but in the distance.
- Add lynx! - a command was heard, and Rostov felt how he was giving in backwards, interrupting his Grachik at a gallop.
He guessed his movements ahead, and he became more and more cheerful. He noticed a lone tree ahead. This tree was at first in front, in the middle of that line that seemed so terrible. And so they crossed this line, and not only was there nothing terrible, but it became more and more cheerful and lively. "Oh, how I will cut him," thought Rostov, clutching the hilt of the saber in his hand.
– Oh oh oh ah ah!! - voices boomed. "Well, now whoever gets caught," thought Rostov, pressing Grachik's spurs, and, overtaking the others, let him go all over the quarry. The enemy was already visible ahead. Suddenly, like a wide broom, something lashed the squadron. Rostov raised his saber, preparing to cut, but at that time the soldier Nikitenko, galloping ahead, separated from him, and Rostov felt, as in a dream, that he continued to rush forward with unnatural speed and at the same time remained in place. Behind him, the familiar hussar Bandarchuk galloped up at him and looked angrily. Bandarchuk's horse shied away, and he galloped past.
"What is this? am I not moving? “I fell, I was killed ...” Rostov asked and answered in an instant. He was already alone in the middle of the field. Instead of moving horses and hussar backs, he saw around him motionless earth and stubble. Warm blood was under him. "No, I am wounded and the horse is killed." Rook got up on his front legs, but fell, crushing his rider's leg. Blood was flowing from the horse's head. The horse struggled and could not get up. Rostov wanted to get up and fell too: the cart caught on the saddle. Where were ours, where were the French - he did not know. Nobody was around.
He freed his leg and stood up. “Where, on what side was now that line that so sharply separated the two troops?” he asked himself and could not answer. “Has something bad happened to me? Are there such cases, and what should be done in such cases? he asked himself, getting up; and at that time he felt that something superfluous was hanging on his left numb hand. Her brush was like someone else's. He looked at his hand, searching in vain for blood. “Well, here are the people,” he thought happily, seeing several people running towards him. “They will help me!” Ahead of these people ran one in a strange shako and in a blue overcoat, black, tanned, with a hooked nose. Two more and many more fled behind. One of them said something strange, non-Russian. Between the rear of the same people, in the same shakos, stood one Russian hussar. He was held by the hands; his horse was kept behind him.
“That's right, our prisoner ... Yes. Will they take me too? What kind of people are these? Rostov kept thinking, not believing his eyes. "Are they French?" He looked at the approaching French, and despite the fact that in a second he galloped only to overtake these Frenchmen and cut them down, their proximity now seemed to him so terrible that he could not believe his eyes. "Who are they? Why are they running? Really to me? Are they running towards me? And for what? Kill me? Me, whom everyone loves so much? - He remembered the love for him of his mother, family, friends, and the intention of the enemies to kill him seemed impossible. "Or maybe - and kill!" He stood for more than ten seconds, not moving from his place and not understanding his position. The hump-nosed Frenchman in front ran so close that you could already see the expression on his face. And the heated, alien physiognomy of this man, who, with a bayonet in excess, holding his breath, easily ran up to him, frightened Rostov. He grabbed a pistol and, instead of firing it, threw it at the Frenchman and ran towards the bushes with all his strength. Not with that feeling of doubt and struggle with which he went to the Ensky bridge, he fled, but with the feeling of a hare running away from dogs. One inseparable feeling of fear for his young, happy life dominated his entire being. Quickly jumping over the fences, with the swiftness with which he ran, playing burners, he flew across the field, occasionally turning his pale, kind, young face, and a chill of horror ran down his back. "No, it's better not to look," he thought, but, running up to the bushes, he looked back again. The French lagged behind, and even at the moment he looked back, the one in front had just changed his trot to a step and, turning around, was shouting something loudly to his rear comrade. Rostov stopped. "Something's wrong," he thought, "it can't be that they want to kill me." Meanwhile, his left hand was so heavy, as if a two-pound weight was hung from it. He couldn't run any further. The Frenchman also stopped and took aim. Rostov closed his eyes and bent down. One, another bullet flew, buzzing, past him. He gathered the last of his strength, took his left hand into his right and ran to the bushes. There were Russian arrows in the bushes.
Infantry regiments, caught unawares in the forest, ran out of the forest, and companies, mingling with other companies, left in disorderly crowds. One soldier, in fright, uttered a terrible and meaningless word in the war: “cut off!”, And the word, along with a feeling of fear, was communicated to the whole mass.
- Bypassed! Cut off! Gone! shouted the voices of the fugitives.
The regimental commander, at the very moment he heard the shooting and shouting from behind, realized that something terrible had happened to his regiment, and the thought that he, an exemplary, who had served for many years, an innocent officer, could be guilty before his superiors in an oversight or indiscipline, so struck him that at that very moment, forgetting both the recalcitrant cavalryman colonel and his general importance, and most importantly - completely forgetting about danger and a sense of self-preservation, he, grabbing the pommel of the saddle and spurring his horse, galloped to the regiment under a hail of bullets that sprinkled, but happily passed him by. He wanted one thing: to find out what was the matter, and to help and correct the mistake at all costs, if it was on his part, and not be guilty of him, having served for twenty-two years, an exemplary officer who was not noticed in anything.
Having happily galloped between the French, he galloped to the field behind the forest, through which ours ran and, disobeying the command, went downhill. That moment of moral hesitation has come, which decides the fate of the battles: these upset crowds of soldiers will listen to the voice of their commander or, looking back at him, will run further. Despite the desperate cry of the regimental commander’s voice, which was so formidable for a soldier, despite the furious, crimson, dissimilar face of the regimental commander and brandishing his sword, the soldiers kept running, talking, shooting into the air and not listening to commands. The moral hesitation that decides the fate of the battles, obviously, was resolved in favor of fear.
The general coughed from the scream and gunpowder smoke and stopped in despair. Everything seemed lost, but at that moment the French, who were advancing on ours, suddenly, without apparent reason, ran back, disappeared from the edge of the forest, and Russian arrows appeared in the forest. It was Timokhin's company, which, alone in the forest, kept itself in order and, having sat down in a ditch near the forest, unexpectedly attacked the French. Timokhin, with such a desperate cry, rushed at the French and with such insane and drunken determination, with one skewer, ran into the enemy that the French, not having time to come to their senses, threw down their weapons and ran. Dolokhov, who fled next to Timokhin, killed one Frenchman point-blank and was the first to take the surrendered officer by the collar. The fugitives returned, the battalions gathered, and the French, who had divided the troops of the left flank into two parts, were momentarily pushed back. The reserve units managed to connect, and the fugitives stopped. The regimental commander was standing with Major Ekonomov at the bridge, letting the retreating companies pass by, when a soldier approached him, took him by the stirrup and almost leaned against him. The soldier was wearing a bluish, factory-made overcoat, there was no knapsack and shako, his head was tied, and a French charging bag was put on over his shoulder. He held an officer's sword in his hands. The soldier was pale Blue eyes they brazenly looked him in the face of the regimental commander, and his mouth was smiling. Despite the fact that the regimental commander was busy giving orders to Major Ekonomov, he could not help but pay attention to this soldier.
