commentator and presenter Dmitry Guberniev told that Anna Dmitrieva was the personification of sports journalism in Russia and her death is a huge loss for the entire society.
On Monday, it became known that Dmitrieva had died at the age of 83. She was eighteen times USSR champion in singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. Dmitrieva ended her career in the early 1970s and began working as a journalist, including more than 15 years editing sports programs at the USSR State Radio and Television Company.
“This is a huge loss for all of us.” Anna Vladimirovna is a true icon of commentary style. It has been with me my whole life, from the moment I turned on the TV. She was the personification of sports journalism in the country. A great athlete, a legendary tennis player, a student of Nikolai Ozerov, who herself created a brilliant sports editorial team.
Anna Vladimirovna has many students who are undoubtedly talented: Vasily Utkin, who also sadly left us. I thank life for bringing me closer, perhaps not so often, to Anna Vladimirovna in those moments when I wanted to kneel before her. She was an inaccessible star for me, even if I did not work in her editorial office. I am personally grateful to him for not taking me to NTV-Plus in 1999, leaving me on federal television. Later she explained to me why she did that and I agreed with her. It was a very wise decision from a great leader. Subtle and intelligent. I repeat, this is a huge loss for all of us,” Guberniev told .
In 1997, Dmitrieva received the Russian national Golden Microphone award as the best sports commentator on Russian television. From 2004 to 2010, she headed the management of the NTV-Plus sports channels, then worked on the channel.
Dmitrieva was inducted into the Russian Tennis Hall of Fame in 2004.
