Galina was born on 26 November 1948 in Sevastopol, in the Russian SFSR of the Soviet Union.

She married twice and therefore changed her last name first to Stepanova (Степанова) and then to Ivannikova (Иванникова).

Galina started swimming in a club in 1959 and until 1966 competed for SKF Sevastopol.

1963

From 1964 to 1966, she set five world records: four in 200 m and one in 100 m breaststroke events.

By the time of her first Olympics in 1964, she had won several national and international competitions and set national and world records in the 200 m breaststroke.

She also had a strong rival, Svetlana Babanina, who set a world record in the 100 m breaststroke before the 1964 Olympics.

Nevertheless, Prozumenshchikova won the 200 m event, setting a new Olympic record and winning the first Soviet Olympic gold in swimming.

Babanina finished third.

That year, she set her final and fastest record for the 200 m breaststroke at 2:40.8—nearly seven full seconds lower than her first record of 2:47.7 in 1964—winning a gold medal in the event at the 1966 European Aquatics Championships, as well as taking silver in medley.
