Yelena Mukhina died last year at 46. Now her coach is gone too.
… Mikhall KLIMENKO was once National juniors’ champion of the USSR, but turned to the profession of coach quite early due to an injury and once took care of the gravely injured wheelchair-bound Elena Mukhina. The brother of the sixfold European Champion Victor Klimenko, who lives in Germany now, was known as one of the most creative coaches in womens’ artistic gymnastics.
… during the 1980ies, Mikhail Klimenko left the Soviet Union and found a second home in Italy, where he worked as coach in womens’ artistic gymnastics in Milan till the end.
