In 1960 she won a gold medal in the 80 m hurdles and finished fourth in the 4 × 100 m relay. In 1964 she finished fourth in the hurdles and sixth in the shot put, but won gold in the newly introduced pentathlon event.〔(Irina Press ). sports-reference.com〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irina Press (Soviet athlete) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irina Press )〕

Another allegation was that they were being injected with male hormones in order to make them stronger. Detractors called them the "Press Brothers".〔("Switch hitter: If a man has a sex change can he compete in the Olympics as a woman?" thestraightdope.com; 22 August 2008 )〕
