Dubbed “Tiny Tatiana” by newspapers, Tatiana Kim generated massive hype during her junior career. Tatiana was of Asian descent but trained in Moldova alongside Regina Starodub. Tatiana’s appearances at the 1981 Champions All and the 1982 USA-USSR Dual Meet are a testament to just how highly the Soviets valued her athletic skill set as they were prestigious assignments. Unfortunately, she became one of the more infamous Cold War era examples of a national program mismanaging a star junior prospect. Tatiana Kim is a virtual unknown to most, but amongst those who were participants of the era, Tatiana Kim continues to be held in high regard.
