video – goodbye Yelena Mukhina

The 1978 World Champion died Dec. 22nd, 2006, 46-years-old.

I had forgotten what a “big trick” gymnast she was. “A flyer, not a flower”, as Bela would say.

This bittersweet montage may bring a tear to your eye.

A montage for Yelena Mukhina, who recently passed away twenty-six years after being paralyzed in a floor accident. You will be missed, Yelena.
