Tatyana began her involvement in athletics in 1966, initially competing in the Pioneer Pentathlon. In 1970, she started javelin throwing. From 1966 to 1974, she trained under the guidance of Efim Borisovich Shapiro, and from 1974, she trained under the renowned coach of the Uzbek SSR, Александра Александровича Винка . [2] [4] She represented "Burevestnik" from Tashkent in athletics competitions.

In 1976, she won a silver medal at the All-Union Student Games in Kyiv. [2] In 1979, she secured the bronze at the Memorial of the Znamensky Brothers. [4] However, she never won medals in the USSR Athletics Championships.

On July 12, 1980, at the pre-Olympic Open Championship of Moscow in Podolsk, she set a world record by throwing the javelin 70.08 meters.
