Valova/Vasiliev's breakthrough came in the 1982–83 season.

They won bronze at the Prize of Moscow News, gold at the 1982 Skate America, and then silver at the 1983 European Championships.

The pair concluded their season by winning their first World title.

They missed the 1983 national championships due to Vasiliev's broken jaw.

With her then-husband Oleg Vasiliev, she is the 1984 Olympic champion, 1988 Olympic silver medalist, and three-time World Champion (1983, 1985, 1988).

In 1984, Valova/Vasiliev won their first European title and then took gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo.

The deaths of several Soviet government officials, including one during the Olympics, cast a pall over the Soviet team and the athletes were told not to show too much joy.

Valova was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples (1984).

She represented VSS Trud.

She currently teaches skating at the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center.

1988

In their final amateur season, Valova/Vasiliev took silver at the 1988 Winter Olympics behind Gordeeva/Grinkov but then prevailed over the reigning Olympic champions at the 1988 World Championships.

After winning their third World title, Valova/Vasiliev retired from ISU competition.

After performing for a year in Igor Bobrin's ice theatre, they signed a U.S. contract – the first Soviets to do so without losing their citizenship.

1996

Valova is now remarried to German Galusha and has a son, Roman, born in 1996.

1997
