[edit] Biography
Pakhomova began figure skating at age seven, when her grandmother brought her to Children and Youth Sports School by the Young Pioneers Stadium.[1][2] Since 1966 she and her partner, Alexandr Gorshkov competed for Dynamo.[3] A personal relationship between Pakhomova and Gorshkov developed, which led to their marriage in 1970. They were world champions from 1970 to 1974 and again in 1976, when they won their sixth world championship. At the 1976 Winter Olympics, Pakhomova and Gorshkov won the first gold medal awarded for ice dancing.
Pakhomova died of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1986[4] and was interred in the Vagankovo Cemetery in Moscow. Pakhomova was posthumously inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1988, along with Gorshkov.
A minor planet 3231 Mila, discovered by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravlyova in 1972 is named after her.[5]
