Nina Dumbadze

Nina Yakovlevna Dumbadze (Georgian: ნინო დუმბაძე; 23 May 1919 – 14 April 1983)[1][3][note 1] was a discus thrower who represented the Soviet Union.

She won the European title in 1946 and 1950, and a bronze medal at the 1952 Olympics.

She set two more ratified world records: in May 1951 in Gori (53.37 m), and in October 1952 in Tbilisi (57.04 m).

By that time she had a strong competition from teammates Nina Romashkova and Yelizaveta Bagryantseva, and hence placed third at the 1952 Olympics.
