Tatyana Pozdnyakova (born 4 March 1955[1] in Sosnovo-Ozerskoye, Buryatia, Russia) is a Ukrainian, former Soviet athlete, known for her performance in marathons. She is the current W45 Masters world record holder in the marathon.[2] In her earlier athletic career, she had her best success on the world stage at the IAAF World Cup, taking a silver medal in the 3000 metres in both the 1985 and 1989 meetings.

  1. ^ note, sponsor site says 1955, the IAAF reports her birth year as 1956, based on some records claimed IAAF might be wrong. Not an issue for W45 world record
