Together with them lived stepmother father Panfilovskaya Moor Yakovlevna, which played a major role in the formation of the older granddaughter was her dearest and closest person. In 1960, when my mother with her husband and her two youngest children moved into a new apartment, Galina with her grandmother stayed together. (Moor Yakovlevna lived with Galina until the last days of his life.)

Galina studied in 319 first female general secondary school. Her enthusiasm was not quite normal for girls - naval affairs, she even enrolled in the appropriate circle in the City House of Pioneers. Impressed classes in a circle, finishing 7 classes, 14-year-old Galina entered the Moscow River College on the chart department specialty skipper river and lake swimming. During the practice swim on cargo ships to Ufa, Ryazan, Gorky.

. At the beginning of 1955 by Galina neighbor TV (in the happy owner of the famous "KVNov") accidentally saw the transfer of "Learn to fence" from the fencing hall stadium "Dinamo" and immediately lit up the desire to engage in fencing, . she liked very much this sport,
. The next day she shared her impressions with fellow students in college, and one of them, M. Zavadsky, was once engaged in fencing, and just at Dynamo. He explained in detail where to go and where to enroll in the section.

Do not postpone it indefinitely, the next day 16-year-old Galina appeared on the stadium and enrolled in a section of fencing, she was given the cherished rapier and mask. At the first stage individual classes were, . Gorokhov only performed group exercises and conducted voluntary fighting, . and after the spring session in her college studies were interrupted for several months, . because it was directed at the practice in the position of steering a ship, . who went on the route Moscow-Ufa-Moscow,
. During this time she was a little tempered by fencing, and almost forgot about him. So when in September she came postcard with an invitation to classes, Galina bit surprised, but resumed training.

One evening to engage in fencing came a man and began to observe a training process. As it turned out, it was Ivan Ilyich Gerevich - the same coach, who was an aide-transfer "Learn to fence". He was a versatile athlete: playing for the national team in Kharkov in hockey, football, fencing for all types of weapons involved in the Olympic Games in Helsinki in 1952, where he showed the best result among the Soviet fencers. After Helsinki he so wanted to be at the Olympics has always sounded the Soviet anthem, he was in the prime of his athletic career has decided to leave the sport and go to coaching. He has trained a galaxy of prominent athletes - Olympic champions and world: A. Zabelin, V. Rastvorovu, J. Rila, Yu Rudova, L. Romanova, N. Arsk etc.. He became the best coach in the world and a personal trainer Gorokhovaya.

That evening, when he visited a training session and watched as the battle waged fiercely Gorokhov, her fate is finally decided. Ivan Ilyich was asked to begin fencers transferred to the adult section, where her coach was a master of sports, the future Olympic champion, YV. Rudov. At the very I.I. Gerevich in that period was a lot of students - members of the national team, and he practiced tying newcomers to the leading masters of. This helps you to quickly train a new generation of trainers and even leading masters better comprehend the training process. Subsequently, and at the very Gorokhovaya were such students, one of them - Honored Master of Sports of the USSR, Leonid Romanov.

. In 1956, Galina Gorokhov successfully graduated in college, and among only 5 percent of graduates earned the right to admission without examination in the Leningrad Institute of Water Transport Engineers

The second victory in the competitions of such high rank was won Gorokhovaya at the world championships in Ankara (Turkey) in 1970. This victory was the most memorable in her sports biography. The last final battle taking shape for it is not entirely successful: Galina losing with a score 3:0. However, for 1 minute before the end of the fight happened then, . that to this day Galina can not explain: "I suddenly felt an amazing peace, . and the inner voice clearly said: "You will defeat, . conquer, . sure victory and what do you think?
