Honored coach of Russia Vladimir Kamelzon expressed condolences over the death of Soviet tennis player and commentator Anna Dmitrieva.
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.
— Dmitrieva and Yuri Rost carried out joint journalistic work for several decades. Dmitrieva went through my entire sports career, she was an extraordinary athlete. She was one of the first to go to Wimbledon with Andrei Potanin. In Soviet times it was very difficult. In addition, his career developed under the guidance of Nina Sergeevna Teplyakova.
Dmitrieva was an exceptional and internationally recognized athlete. I can talk about her for half a day. I would like to emphasize that she was an uncompromising person. She was different from a lot of journalists in that she actually said what she thought. Of course, this didn’t please many. I also didn’t always agree with what she said.
Dmitrieva is a person with a rare biography; I could write a book about her. He was a principled person, we had conflicts. But this has not affected our personal relationships in any way. The Kingdom of Heaven,” Metaratings.ru quotes Kamelzon as saying.
In 2004, Dmitrieva was inducted into the Russian Tennis Hall of Fame.
