This gold medal won by Tamara Press in 1966 is one of the Soviet track and field great's last competitive awards. This CCCP championship women's shot put gold medal is offered from the personal collection of Press, who retired that year with four Olympic medals to her credit, including three golds. Measuring 1 1/8" in diameter, the gold-colored medal displays CCCP and the image of a woman shot putter on the face. Press' name is engraved on the reverse. The medal comes with its original ribbon pin attached to the top of the medal as well as its well-handled plastic case. Comes with an LOA signed by Tamara Press.
Tamara Press will donate a substantial portion of her proceeds from this auction to her Moscow-based “Physical Education and Health” charitable foundation, which facilitates material and emotional support for sporting veterans and also provides help to orphanages and similar children’s institutions.
