About Vera Sychugova

  • Vera Sychugova (born October 16, 1963), also known as Vera Zaytseva, was a professional sprinter from Russia.
  • She won a silver medal in the 4x400m at the 1993 World Championships in Athletics by virtue of running for her team in the preliminary rounds.
  • Her personal best for 400m was 51.64 seconds, set in Tallinn, Estonia on July 5, 1988.At the 1994 European Cup in Athletics, Sychugova ran the entire second leg of a 4x400m relay in her lane rather than cutting in to the track to save distance as IAAF rules permit.
  • As a result of this mistake, her Russian team lost their lead to Britain and ultimately finished third.
