commentator Dmitry Shnyakin said that eighteen-time USSR champion, Soviet tennis player and sports commentator Anna Dmitrieva gave him the opportunity to gain a foothold in the journalistic profession.
On Monday, June 24, it became known that Dmitrieva died at the age of 83. She ended her career in the early 1970s and began working as a journalist, including for more than 15 years editing sports programs for USSR state television and radio. 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.
“My TV mom left today.” The pro, who immediately believed in me, gave me several big chances. In me and dozens of other people, without her, there would have been no NTV-Plus, as we knew the channel. A person who knew how to warm up with a word, shake it up or show the way. And it always turned out to be succinct. A beautiful woman with a special charm. Elite level athlete. And a person with a rich life story. Anna Vladimirovna, thank you for everything! “I will be forever grateful,” Shnyakin wrote on his Telegram channel.
In 2004, Dmitrieva was inducted into the Russian Tennis Hall of Fame.
