In 1993 she changed to ice hockey, and won eight national titles with SKIF, which was then based in Moscow. She died in her sleep, after her automatic washing machine ignited while being operated overnight. The released smoke suffocated her, together with her husband and a four-year-old son.[1][2][3]
