During her career she won five national titles: three in the vault (1961, 1962, 1965) and two on the balance beam (1963, 1964). In 1966 she broke her ankle. The same year she married, changing her last name to Tyunenkova, and next year gave birth to her first daughter, effectively retiring from sport.[2]
In 1965 she graduated from an institute of pedagogy,[3] and for some 30 years trained gymnasts in her native Grodno. She was the first coach of Olga Korbut, but after one and half years passed her to Renald Knysh, who previously raised Volchetskaya. Between 1998 and 2006 she coached in Minneapolis, United States, together with Nikolai Miligulo and Olga Gotsmanova. In 2006, she returned to Grodno to her 94-year-old mother and daughters Tatyana and Irina.[2]
