The deep dark circles around her eyes. So much was demanded from these athletes. To me, she has unmatched grace.

Bĺess her so sad 😢

This is the best floor routine in the history of gymnastics. She is extraordinary ❤❤❤

Rest in Peace my dear Helena... ❤😔

RIP Elena 😭🙏

They broke her time and time again so very sad 😢

Oh bless her

My absolute favourite gymnast ever and I've only learnt about her recently this last few months or so and already she (Elena) has me in full of admiration ❤ . What an inspiration she was and is. Yes ok very sadly she's no longer with us in person 😢 but her legacy will live on. we must never ever forget beautiful Elena Mukhina † 💗💗

dont understand Shannon Millers score

First female gymnast to throw a double layout in major competition.

She was breathtaking, so graceful and polished... nowadays gymnasts who win medals have arm movements devoid of any ballet grace - they appear to be swatting flies instead! - no sense of timing, and still can't point their toes properly. I have detected to watching rhythmic gymnastics instead.

Невероятно!!! Высший пилотаж!смотрю несколько раз!!!

Высший пилотаж, восхитительно! Жаль девочку ,нелёгкая судьба легла на её плечи

😭nadie te defendió, nadie te ayudo, descansa en paz bello angelito!

She was a perfect athlete: diligent, talented, charismatic and inspirational. RIP dear Elena.

the artistry and elegance still unmatched by today's gymnast.

So talented. Gymnastics changed into a sport that does not kill young women anymore. I love 1970s and 80s gymnastics but am also so happy things are safer and the girls can do this into adulthood now. Gone too soon.

It's a shame that she was denied an opportunity to medal in floor finals because of the two per country rule. Even in some of the competitions where she made floor finals she was never scored fairly.

Мухина,помним и любим❤

La mejor de la historia. Impresionante

RIP dear Helena... ❤

I remember this, we just got a Colour TV.and the B n W went upstairs as an extra.

This is much better than today's gymnastics

Yelena Mukhina, for ever beautiful, the best!

Потрясающе выполнила. Жаль что потом получила травму....

Perfect.

The basically killed her. So very sad. Was forced to compete with an unhealed broken leg.😢

Best female gymnast who ever lived!!

That commentator seriously said that Sharon’s dance elements were good and that all of the men in the audience were watching her closely. So disrespectful. I love watching these old competitions, but I can’t believe all of the inappropriate comments made by these older men.

очень жаль ! Такой талант потеряли .

I loved gymnastics back during this time. They were more artistic and graceful.

When Elena had the accident, she was relieved because she wouldn't go to the Olympics, but only because she thought it was just another fracture, like the many she'd had before. Once she realized that she could end up almost completely paralyzed, she was desperate to get a surgery that could at least fix something. It's been said that it was extremely painful for Elena to even sit on the wheelchair, she spent most of her 26 years after the accident lying in bed. In one of her interviews, according to the English subtitles, she said that she had many medical issues, and pain every day. I really wish that somehow she accepted the Lord Jesus as her Lord and Savior, and that she's been comforted since 2006. It comes to my mind the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Elena was just like Lazarus. Luke 16:19-31.

Even after Elena's accident, she could've had a chance of getting something fixed, if they had performed surgery on the same day of the accident, but they waited until the third day. I read that the doctors said, only 2% or 3% of people with such fractures, survived. It was only on the third day, when they saw that she was still alive, that the surgery was done. Who knows, maybe she could've been a paraplegic instead of a quadriplegic?

Is this what television looked and sounded like in 1995? How did people get through a show?

La mejor.

Ela voa ❤

Как же ужасна и несправедлива была судьба. Такая талантливая. Сколько еще она могла сделать 😢

Impresionante forever Elena❤❤❤

LOL I really do like this woman commentator. And the man is not bad either, but I just love how POSITIVE she is. She always has something nice to say about the gymnasts and is very knowledgeable.

Nesse dia ela foi perfeita!!! Sua série era extremamente difícil e ela completou todos os movimentos!!! 👏👏👏

Nadia,Olga, Elena, they look like triplets sisters...but Olga was unique to the bars...she was the first person which change the game...all the others just copies ...

Meraviglioso, elegante ,espressiva,graziosa, tecnica, questa si😮 chiama ginnastica artistica .
