Larisa Ptitsyna, later known as Lazutina, was born on June 1, 1965 in Kondopoga, Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

From a family of workers. Parents came to Kondopoga to build a city-forming enterprise - a pulp and paper mill.

Has an older sister born in 1962.

Larisa herself said: "My parents are simple people, which, however, does not prevent me from being proud of them at all. And I am especially grateful that they did not spoil me, that they taught me to work from childhood."

Her first coaches - Larisa Vasilievna Melnikova and Yuri Alekseevich Yakovlev - lived in the same building with her family. In addition, her parents were friends with the family of coaches. And this had a positive effect on Larisa’s career: the girl knew that if she missed a workout or didn’t work hard enough, then in the evening the coaches would definitely come to her house for a preventive conversation. As the athlete noted, her first coaches were able to create a fantastic atmosphere, so much so that she even ran away from lessons in order to be the first to come to training and go to the circle.

She had a period in her teens when she abandoned the sport - she wanted to take a walk with her friends, go to the movies, dance. But here, too, the coaches had a decisive influence - they forced the talented girl to continue training.

From the eighth grade, Larisa has already begun to show serious results, to go to the training camp.

In 1972, she entered Kondopoga secondary school No. 1.

After graduating from school, she entered the Khabarovsk Institute of Physical Education, defended her diploma as a coach and teacher. She also studied at the Karelian State Pedagogical Institute at the Faculty of Physical Education.

First, she participated in competitions in the Kondopoga region, then in city and republican ones. Then there was the selection of the team to participate in zonal competitions, they went to competitions throughout the Union. At some zonal competitions, Larisa was noticed: a young athlete took fourth place, despite the fact that her rivals were 3-4 years older. After that, in 1984, an invitation to the youth national team of the country followed, the coach of which was then Nikolai Petrovich Lopukhov.

Already in the 1983/1984 season, she made her debut at the adult World Cup. On March 24, 1984, at the stage in Murmansk, Ptitsyna takes 15th place in the 10 km classic race, having won her first cup points. She took a very high 49th place in the World Cup.

In the 1984/1985 season, Ptitsyna became the junior world champion. Together with the team, she wins gold in the 3x5 km relay. In the 1985/1986 season, Larisa is already participating in the adult World Cup on an ongoing basis. In the final classification, she is in 25th place.

At the 1986/1987 World Cup, Larisa Ptitsyna achieves her first significant success in adult competitions. She competed for the first time at the World Championships in Obersdorf, Germany, where she became world champion in the relay and won bronze in the 20 km individual freestyle.

Since 1987, she began to perform under the name Lazutina.

She missed the 1987/1988 Olympic season, and was a substitute at the Calgary Olympics.

But in the 1988/1989 season, Larisa Lazutina entered the world elite, finishing the season in fifth place in the overall standings. Lazutina climbs the podium for the first time at the stage in Kampra, Switzerland on December 14, 1988 (takes 3rd place in the 15 km freestyle race). Participates in the World Championships in Lahti, Finland, where he won silver in the 30 km freestyle race, losing only to Elena Vyalba.

Since 1989, already being a member of the USSR national cross-country skiing team, he lives in the city of Odintsovo.

At the 1989/1990 World Cup, Lazutina overtakes Elena Vyalbe in the overall standings and wins the Big Crystal Globe for the first time. The skier significantly “tightened up” the classical style of running and her results in the final protocol immediately improved. This season Lazutina wins the first individual race at the World Cup. On December 15, 1989, she wins the 15 km classic in Thunder Bay, Canada. During the season, the skier rises to the podium six more times in individual races (once she was second and five times third). The season passes under the sign of the hegemony of Soviet skiers. In the first seven of the strongest overall standings there are five skiers from the USSR (Lazutina, Vyalbe, Nageikina, Egorova, Tikhonova).

In 1994, at the Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, she won the gold medal in the relay for the second time in her career (she started at the 2nd stage in the classical style).

The 1994/1995 season was one of the best in Larisa Lazutina's career. At the stages of the World Cup, she wins one individual race and wins four relay races. Lazutina came at the peak of her form for the World Championships in Thunder Bay, Canada. She won four out of five gold medals (won the relay, the individual races in the 5 km classic, 10 km freestyle (pursuit) and 15 km classic). Only in the 30 km skate race, where Vyalba excelled, Larisa Lazutina could not win a medal. The skier finished the season in third place overall.

In the 1995/1996 season, Lazutina continues to hold third place in the overall World Cup standings. She wins five races (four as part of the relay) and has placed on the podium five more times.

At the 1996/1997 World Cup, the racer won two relay races and took second place three more times (two times as part of the relay). In the final classification, she is in eighth position.

At the World Championships in Trondheim, Norway, Larisa Lazutina becomes the champion in the relay (running the second stage in the classics). And the heroine of the competition in Trondheim is Elena Vyalbe, who won five gold medals in five races and set a record at the world championships.

After a difficult and not entirely successful 1996/1997 season, she officially announced the end of her sports career. However, at the beginning of the off-season, the leaders of the Russian Ski Racing Federation managed to convince the great skier to continue performing.

In the 1997/1998 season, after Elena Vyalbe left the big sport, it was Larisa Lazutina who became the flagship of the Russian team. She wins the second Big Crystal Globe in her career, in distance disciplines she wins the Small Crystal Globe. Six times she excelled at the stages of the World Cup (twice in the relay) and stood on the podium five more times.

At the 1998 Nagano Olympics, she won medals in all five races. She won three Olympic golds - 5 km classic races and 10 km pursuit with a skate, as well as a 4x5 km relay race (started at the 4th stage in a free style). She won silver in the 15 km classic and bronze in the 30 km freestyle.

In the 1998/1999 season, Lazutina won four races (twice as part of the relay), was third in one of the individual races. At the World Championships in Ramsau, Austria, she wins two golds - in the 30 km race in the classic and in the relay (she ran the second stage in the classic).

The 2000/2001 season was the last year of the dominance of the Russian women's team in the international arena. There were five Russian racers in the top eight of the overall standings (, Lazutina, Zavyalova, Danilova and Gavrylyuk).

Doping scandal at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics

The 2001/2002 Olympic season was the final and at the same time scandalous for the great skier. She purposefully prepared for the Olympics in Salt Lake City and approached the main starts in excellent sports shape. At the start of the competition, she wins two silver medals. On the first day of starts, February 9, Larisa was only two seconds short. On February 15, Larisa runs a race with Olga Danilova, leads for a long time, but misses the victory on the last descent.

And after winning the most difficult 30 km marathon in the classics, she was convicted of doping, like another Russian champion of these games, Olga Danilova.

It happened 1.5 hours before the start of the relay - it was from Lazutina that they urgently took a blood sample, moreover, Larisa was entered in the list of those checked with a pencil. The hemoglobin level is slightly above normal. The Russians were removed from the relay.

Lazutina said: “It was a tragedy. I spent a month at a height. I have had low hemoglobin since childhood, and then ... This happened due to female physiological problems. I didn’t sleep for several nights, I thought I was broken, I had no strength left ... It has long been proven that hemoglobin is different on the plain and at altitude. On the plain below."

The President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation Anatoly Akentiev said: “We saw the funeral of Olympic skis. About an hour and a half before the start of the relay, the skiers - one from each team - took a hemoglobin sample. This test has nothing to do with a doping test. The health status of the skiers is assessed with help.First, they checked Olya Danilova - everything turned out to be all right. And then, for some unknown reason, they demanded blood from our second participant, Larisa Lazutina. Her hemoglobin content turned out to be slightly higher than the norm - by 0.8 percent. And this was not yet a disaster. Instead of Larisa, Lyubov Egorova or Elena Burykhina were ready to run. But the last change can be made an hour before the start. They kept it dark and reported the result of the analysis only 15 minutes before the start of the race. Olya Danilova, who was preparing to run at the first stage, was taken away straight from the start".

On June 29, 2003, at a meeting of the International Olympic Committee in Prague, it was decided to cancel all Lazutina's sports results in international competitions after December 2001.

The result of Lazutina's great skiing career at the World Cup was 21 victories in individual races and 62 podiums, as well as two seasons in the status of the strongest skier on the planet.

She had to leave the sport. Lazutina noted: "Honestly, I have long wanted to finish, I'm really very tired of competitions, traveling - from big sport. And even more - from the huge responsibility to the people who believed in me, who supported me. Thank you for helping them and many to other people. My path in sports was long and difficult. I remember all my victories and defeats, they taught me a lot. Including an important truth: never say never. I think that I proved everything a long time ago."

An excerpt characterizing Lazutina, Larisa Evgenievna

The general, accepting the colonel's invitation to the tournament of courage, straightening his chest and frowning, rode with him in the direction of the chain, as if all their disagreement was to be decided there, in the chain, under the bullets. They arrived at the chain, several bullets flew over them, and they silently stopped. There was nothing to see in the chain, since even from the place where they had previously stood, it was clear that it was impossible for the cavalry to operate through the bushes and ravines, and that the French were bypassing the left wing. The general and the colonel looked sternly and significantly as the two roosters, preparing for battle, looked at each other, waiting in vain for signs of cowardice. Both passed the test. Since there was nothing to say, and neither one nor the other wanted to give a reason to the other to say that he was the first to get out from under the bullets, they would have stood there for a long time, mutually experiencing courage, if at that time in the forest, almost behind them, the rattle of guns and a muffled, merging cry were heard. The French attacked the soldiers who were in the forest with firewood. The hussars could no longer retreat with the infantry. They were cut off from the retreat to the left by a French line. Now, however inconvenient the terrain was, it was necessary to attack in order to make their way.
The squadron, where Rostov served, who had just managed to get on his horses, was stopped facing the enemy. Again, as on the Ensky bridge, there was no one between the squadron and the enemy, and between them, separating them, lay the same terrible line of uncertainty and fear, as it were, a line separating the living from the dead. All people felt this line, and the question of whether or not they would cross the line and how they would cross the line worried them.
A colonel rode up to the front, angrily answered something to the questions of the officers, and, like a man desperately insisting on his own, gave some kind of order. No one said anything definite, but word of the attack swept through the squadron. There was a command to build, then sabers screeched out of their scabbards. But still no one moved. The troops of the left flank, both the infantry and the hussars, felt that the authorities themselves did not know what to do, and the indecision of the commanders was communicated to the troops.
“Hurry, hurry,” thought Rostov, feeling that at last the time had come to taste the pleasure of the attack, about which he had heard so much from his comrades hussars.
- With God, g "fuck," Denisov's voice sounded, - g "ysyo, magician" sh!
In the front row, the croups of horses swayed. Grachik pulled the reins and set off on his own.
On the right, Rostov saw the first ranks of his hussars, and even further ahead he could see a dark stripe, which he could not see, but considered the enemy. Shots were heard, but in the distance.
- Add lynx! - a command was heard, and Rostov felt how he was giving in backwards, interrupting his Grachik at a gallop.
He guessed his movements ahead, and he became more and more cheerful. He noticed a lone tree ahead. This tree was at first in front, in the middle of that line that seemed so terrible. And so they crossed this line, and not only was there nothing terrible, but it became more and more cheerful and lively. "Oh, how I will cut him," thought Rostov, clutching the hilt of the saber in his hand.
– Oh oh oh ah ah!! - voices boomed. "Well, now whoever gets caught," thought Rostov, pressing Grachik's spurs, and, overtaking the others, let him go all over the quarry. The enemy was already visible ahead. Suddenly, like a wide broom, something lashed the squadron. Rostov raised his saber, preparing to cut, but at that time the soldier Nikitenko, galloping ahead, separated from him, and Rostov felt, as in a dream, that he continued to rush forward with unnatural speed and at the same time remained in place. Behind him, the familiar hussar Bandarchuk galloped up at him and looked angrily. Bandarchuk's horse shied away, and he galloped past.
"What is this? am I not moving? “I fell, I was killed ...” Rostov asked and answered in an instant. He was already alone in the middle of the field. Instead of moving horses and hussar backs, he saw around him motionless earth and stubble. Warm blood was under him. "No, I am wounded and the horse is killed." Rook got up on his front legs, but fell down, crushing his rider's leg. Blood was flowing from the horse's head. The horse struggled and could not get up. Rostov wanted to get up and fell too: the cart caught on the saddle. Where were ours, where were the French - he did not know. Nobody was around.
He freed his leg and stood up. “Where, on what side was now that line that so sharply separated the two troops?” he asked himself and could not answer. “Has something bad happened to me? Are there such cases, and what should be done in such cases? he asked himself, getting up; and at that time he felt that something superfluous was hanging on his left numb hand. Her brush was like someone else's. He looked at his hand, searching in vain for blood. “Well, here are the people,” he thought happily, seeing several people running towards him. “They will help me!” Ahead of these people ran one in a strange shako and in a blue overcoat, black, tanned, with a hooked nose. Two more and many more fled behind. One of them said something strange, non-Russian. Between the rear of the same people, in the same shakos, stood one Russian hussar. He was held by the hands; his horse was kept behind him.
“That's right, our prisoner ... Yes. Will they take me too? What kind of people are these? Rostov kept thinking, not believing his eyes. "Are they French?" He looked at the approaching French, and despite the fact that in a second he galloped only to overtake these Frenchmen and cut them down, their proximity now seemed to him so terrible that he could not believe his eyes. "Who are they? Why are they running? Really to me? Are they running towards me? And for what? Kill me? Me, whom everyone loves so much? - He remembered the love for him of his mother, family, friends, and the intention of the enemies to kill him seemed impossible. "Or maybe - and kill!" He stood for more than ten seconds, not moving from his place and not understanding his position. The hump-nosed Frenchman in front ran so close that you could already see the expression on his face. And the heated, alien physiognomy of this man, who, with a bayonet in excess, holding his breath, easily ran up to him, frightened Rostov. He grabbed a pistol and, instead of firing it, threw it at the Frenchman and ran towards the bushes with all his strength. Not with that feeling of doubt and struggle with which he went to the Ensky bridge, he fled, but with the feeling of a hare running away from dogs. One inseparable feeling of fear for his young, happy life dominated his entire being. Quickly jumping over the fences, with the swiftness with which he ran, playing burners, he flew across the field, occasionally turning his pale, kind, young face, and a chill of horror ran down his back. "No, it's better not to look," he thought, but, running up to the bushes, he looked back again. The French lagged behind, and even at the moment he looked back, the one in front had just changed his trot to a step and, turning around, was shouting something loudly to his rear comrade. Rostov stopped. "Something's wrong," he thought, "it can't be that they want to kill me." Meanwhile, his left hand was so heavy, as if a two-pound weight was hung from it. He couldn't run any further. The Frenchman also stopped and took aim. Rostov closed his eyes and bent down. One, another bullet flew, buzzing, past him. He gathered the last of his strength, took his left hand into his right and ran to the bushes. There were Russian arrows in the bushes.

Infantry regiments, caught unawares in the forest, ran out of the forest, and companies, mingling with other companies, left in disorderly crowds. One soldier, in fright, uttered a terrible and meaningless word in the war: “cut off!”, And the word, along with a feeling of fear, was communicated to the whole mass.
- Bypassed! Cut off! Gone! shouted the voices of the fugitives.
The regimental commander, at the very moment he heard the shooting and shouting from behind, realized that something terrible had happened to his regiment, and the thought that he, an exemplary, who had served for many years, an innocent officer, could be guilty before his superiors in an oversight or indiscipline, so struck him that at that very moment, forgetting both the recalcitrant cavalryman colonel and his general importance, and most importantly - completely forgetting about danger and a sense of self-preservation, he, grabbing the pommel of the saddle and spurring his horse, galloped to the regiment under a hail of bullets that sprinkled, but happily passed him by. He wanted one thing: to find out what was the matter, and to help and correct the mistake at all costs, if it was on his part, and not be guilty of him, having served for twenty-two years, an exemplary officer who was not noticed in anything.
Having happily galloped between the French, he galloped to the field behind the forest, through which ours ran and, disobeying the command, went downhill. That moment of moral hesitation has come, which decides the fate of the battles: these upset crowds of soldiers will listen to the voice of their commander or, looking back at him, will run further. Despite the desperate cry of the regimental commander’s voice, which was so formidable for a soldier, despite the furious, crimson, dissimilar face of the regimental commander and brandishing his sword, the soldiers kept running, talking, shooting into the air and not listening to commands. The moral hesitation that decides the fate of the battles, obviously, was resolved in favor of fear.
The general coughed from the scream and gunpowder smoke and stopped in despair. Everything seemed lost, but at that moment the French, who were advancing on ours, suddenly, for no apparent reason, ran back, disappeared from the edge of the forest, and Russian arrows appeared in the forest. It was Timokhin's company, which, alone in the forest, kept itself in order and, having sat down in a ditch near the forest, unexpectedly attacked the French. Timokhin, with such a desperate cry, rushed at the French and with such insane and drunken determination, with one skewer, ran into the enemy that the French, not having time to come to their senses, threw down their weapons and ran. Dolokhov, who fled next to Timokhin, killed one Frenchman point-blank and was the first to take the surrendered officer by the collar. The fugitives returned, the battalions gathered, and the French, who had divided the troops of the left flank into two parts, were momentarily pushed back. The reserve units managed to connect, and the fugitives stopped. The regimental commander was standing with Major Ekonomov at the bridge, letting the retreating companies pass by, when a soldier approached him, took him by the stirrup and almost leaned against him. The soldier was wearing a bluish, factory-made overcoat, there was no knapsack and shako, his head was tied, and a French charging bag was put on over his shoulder. He held an officer's sword in his hands. The soldier was pale, his blue eyes brazenly looked into the face of the regimental commander, and his mouth was smiling. Despite the fact that the regimental commander was busy giving orders to Major Ekonomov, he could not help but pay attention to this soldier.
