The aim of the article is to reveal the performance of Mārtiņs Stabiņs, a graduate of the Faculty of Automation and Computer Technology (1972; FACT) of Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI), in the profession of engineer and high achievements in sports, becoming a Latvian champion in athletics several times, to reveal his daily life during his study years in the 1960s–1970s.

This is the first major research on the life of an engineer and athlete during seven decades. The resources used in the research are the personal archives of M. Stabiņs and of the author, documents of the National Archives of Latvia, and the collection of the National Library of Latvia.
