Thanks Eric,

Could you clarify what you had to do to get one of these badges. Where they performance-based?

Simon

Yes, they are performance based. The person was required to show results in cross (running), swimming, skiing, gymnastics and few more sports (I don't remember now all the details after 20 years :))
Based on the results the person was getting 1st, 2nd or 3rd class.
Also there was a Soviet Union GTO Spartakiada (and Spartakiadas / Tournaments on lower levels - districts, cities, etc).
