Lyudmila Alekseyevna Pakhomova (Russian: Людмила Алексеевна Пахомова; December 31, 1946 in Moscow – May 17, 1986 in Moscow) was a figure skating champion from the former Soviet Union.
She and her partner, Alexandr Gorshkov, began skating competitively in 1967 at Dynamo. A personal relationship between Pakhomova and Gorshkov developed, which led to their marriage in 1970. They were world champions from 1971 to 1974 and again in 1976, when they won their fifth world championship. At the 1976 Winter Olympics, Pakhomova and Gorshkov won the the first gold medal awarded for ice dancing.
Pakhomova died of cancer in 1986[1] and was interred in the Vagankovskoye Cemetery in Moscow, Russia. Pakhomova was posthumously inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1988, along with Gorshkov.
