remembering Yuri Korolev
Yuri was World All-Around Champion in 1981 and 1985, as well as being World Cup All-Around Co-Champion (with Li Ning) in 1986, among many other titles and medals.
He died 29 April 2023 (aged 60) of heart attack.

Illia Kovtun is only age-19
The 2021 World and 2021 and 2023 European all-around bronze medalist.
Coach Irina Nadyuk has done a fantastic job with this astonishingly successful athlete. HOW is Illia so consistent while Putin has invaded their country?
Yuri Korolev dead at 60
Heart attack.
What a loss.
Montreal 1985 was my first World Championships. For 10 days I videotaped MAG for FIG. Mostly Floor Exercise.
For us Li Ning and Tong Fei were the sensations. But the Soviet team was deep, deep:
Vladimir Artemov
Yuri Korolev
Valentin Mogilny
Yury Balabanov
Aleksei Tikhonkikh
Aleksandr Tumilovich
Korolev won the AA in Montreal as well as at Worlds 1981 Moscow.
A class champion. What a loss.
With a total of 34 individual medals at World Championships, World Cups, and European Championships competitions, Korolyov has more such medals than any other non-Olympian with Valentin Mogilny (17) being the next highest in this sort of medal count.
Trinity 2x Honda Winner
I can’t argue awarding Trinity Thomas this trophy two years in a row. Ahead of two Olympic champions in 2023.
Looks at the numbers. Trinity’s without question on the All-star All-time team.

From reviews I’ve read, it sounds an inspiring read for adults, appropriate for teens and tweens, as well.
The title reminded me of Chellsie’s YouTube challenges. 😀
