Her coach never had the decency and respect to ever visit her after the tragic life changing accident and injury. Her coach never saw her again from the day he left the training centre in Minsk to go to Moscow and try persuade the Olympic selectors to put her in the final team. He left Elena alone to train with other coaches, she had the accident, her carrier was over and her life span dramatically shortened to the point she could have died sooner than she did but her coach could not face her.

@@NWLegacyChannel ...a comment that does not contain bad language and also does not attack or label all citizens of a nation as being of the same political persuasion would be welcomed. Your comment is offence to me and a great many others.
She partly blamed herself for not saying no, but she was only 20 and it wasn’t just her coach. She had Soviet government officials come to the hospital to tell her she’s being selfish for wanting to wait and heal. Not to mention Moscow was hosting the olympics that year and her coach insisted on her keeping the dangerous move in her routine. The same coach that never came to see her after her injury. Her first thought after being injured was “thank god I don’t have to olympics now”. This story is so sad
@@Sailrjup12nh Correct, it's like she knew her body her leg need to heal but because of the coach pressuring her she had to keep going and then the breaking of the neck was the final straw
@@Sailrjup12nh Yes her cast was put off early and she was forced to train - running at night to loose weight that she gained during the broken leg, after such a injury you need around 2 years to be back but no she didn't have such a pleasure. Im sure she wanted to quit after 1978 victory but as champion no one left her.
Hermosa gimnasta tenía un gran porvenir pero por gente irresponsable y sin escrúpulos la condenaron a una silla de ruedas pero ahorita es un ángel y desde donde esté sigue triunfando
Elena era una de las Mejores Gimnasta inclusive realizaba mejores Movimientos mas dificil en la Barra , y en el piso era una Sirena, Estrella unica y Especial, si no se hubiese lesionado hubiera obtenidos mas Titulos era una Grandisima Campeona como pocas y que llego a superar a Nadia en su mejor momento, que triste lo que le ocurrio pero ya esta en el Cielo, por causa de su sufrimiento🙏
Su carita tan triste. Fue muy cruel lo que hicieron con ella. Que su vida deportiva hubiese terminado no fue lo peor, sí lo fue la vida que no pudo disfrutar a plenitud y el dolor y soledad que la acompañaron . Aunque fue una valiente mujer que supo darle un giro a su vida y ser una heroína aún más grande que en la gimnasia.Siento tristeza,respeto,admiración y ternura. Descansa en paz dulce Elena. Se feliz en la dimensión en que ahora estás 🙏😘😇
A transcendent athlete and a lovely dancer! It's flat-out CRIMINAL what she was put through in the process, and that such Machiavellian decisions were forced upon her and had culminated in the ruination (and ultimately the severely premature loss) of her life.
I remember her. I remember only that she disappeared from the next Olympics (I was pretty young) and they said she had a broken leg and she would be back. She never came back, obviously. But in true Russian form, they did not tell the truth, that they have worked her basically to death. They should be ashamed of themselves but because they are Russian they won't be. Anyone who has a negative thing to say about Simone biles stepping down should really watch this video. Athletes know their own bodies and their own minds. We should be very thankful that Simone has a strong enough sense of self and self-confidence to say no, I cannot compete right now. I am thankful we will not have another Kerry Strug or Elena Mukhina. KUDOS to Simone!!!! An may you rest in peace, Elena. You deserved a much better life than what you had. Rest easy.
@@user-hw3ru3qz3l Do YOU know how brutal Russian trainers have historically been to their athletes? This has nothing to do with xenophobia and everything to do with body autonomy. Russia does not have a great track record here.
@@robinholland1574 Where did I say some Soviet coaches weren't brutal? Exactly nowhere. Do you sincerely not see how saying "But in true Russian form, they did not tell the truth, that they have worked her basically to death. They should be ashamed of themselves but because they are Russian they won't be." is not xenophobic? If you wanted to talk about the "bodily autonomy of athletes" you should've done that and not called Russians liars.
@@robinholland1574 There are brutal coaches everywhere and Elena was a victim of a brutal system that killed millions before and after her but that gives you absolutely no right to call every single Russian a liar with no humility. Imagine I said the same thing about Americans for what happened to Julissa Gomez
Has nothing to do with countries/nations. Ballet, gynmastics, rhythmic gymnastics; all are taken as small children. Almost all are mistreated in the name of perfection. Almost all end up with injuries and health problems. They should not be allowed to train until teens. At least then it can be believed the choice to train is the childs and also then the child hasn't be manipulated for years and can stand up for themselves and put their health first.
Такие звезды как Елена мухана рождаются один раз в 100 лет поэтому будет абсолютно честно если одну из звезд в созвездии телец назовут звезда Елены мухиной ❤❤❤❤❤
Such a talented young girl with so much ahead of her. She lost everything because her coach kept demanding her to practice even though she had a broken leg. She was severely injured. It wouldn’t have hurt if they let her recover and waited for her to be 100% ready to practice once again, even if it took years. They only care about the gold medals and not about the wellbeing of their athletes. Elena deserved better.
También yo justo acabo de leerlo. Me siento muy impotente por estas personas. Les tiran tando barro a todo su esfuerzo que genera que se les baje el autoestima y terminen de esta manera por contentar a los entrenadores.
Essas atletas eram perfeitas, não temos nada assim hoje em dia, que ela esteja no céu, lugar que ela merece estar, teve uma vida muito triste e curta, ela não merecia esse destino 😿
¿"Esas deportistas" eran perfectas? ¿No tenemos nada así hoy en día? No entiendo a qué te refieres con tu comentario... ¿No se supone que una brasileña acaba de ganar varias medallas en gimnasia en los Olímpicos de Paris? No entiendo...
He was cold hearted and selfish. He didn’t visit her after the accident not once. I watched a documentary with her training. He was giving her some type of pep talk. It was 15 mins of him berating and insulting her Not a kind word.
Era perfecta😢 realmente es una pena que le hayan exigido tanto hasta superar sus límites.. ya era perfecta. Pero que podía hacer ella contra todo un régimen soviético?😔
A perfect example of how cruel and heartless people in this sport can be. But let's remember Elena for her talent... Not how people treated her (even though, it's bit hard not to). So sad.
damn and the fact she was still healing from the fracture her coach didn't even let her fully heal from in the first place. u can tell she was in pain and didn't even wanna be there. such a shame.
Yesterday I knew sad story of Elena Mukhina reading a very good article of Russia Today ; Elena's history impressed me so much, great athlete and fraged little girl, rest in peace Elena, you were a great woman as well as great athlete.
Elena’s story breaks my heart! Very talented girl who’s coach didn’t give a damn about her. She deserved so much better than what she got!!! He wouldn’t give her time for her leg to heal. Her cast was put on and taken off against her Drs wishes! Horrible person. Where ever he is I hope it’s in hell. RIP SWEET ANGEL 😇
Yes totally agree with you, it’s a very sad horrible tragic story...! That was torture and abuse that this girl went through By the monster of a coach she had, I read He moved to Italy with his family and died of cancer age 65..

I read a comment about her in another video and went to look up her life and oh god! i could barely sleep last night thinking about her suffering 😭 It's heartbreaking!
Considering that Simone and Elena have in common that both incorporate very difficult skills to their routines, Simone knew how risky competing was and i'm so glad she withdrew
@@candeladm Elena was the Simone Biles of the late 1970's from the technical standpoint. They may be from different eras but I'm sure the stories get passed down.

@@RyhanLDN Thank goodness!!! Can you imagine if the same had happened to Simone had she continued to compete???? It would have been broadcast on a LIVE STREAMING FEED. No way to edit that out so no one would see it.
These kind of coaches were nothing but evil.🤨 They wanted their name to be associated with a Olympic Gold Star..To boost their names, fee's and self esteem.Disgusting...... Just look at Larry Nassar, got away with years of abuse, who to say there are others out there doing the same thing..Revolting these young ladies give it their all.....Only to be treated like shit and forgotten. Sad,sad story.😟😢
You have to understand that there is massive difference between living in comunistic dictatorship USSR in '78 and USA 2022. Back then in USSR she actully could.not just quit. Not possible. The goverment would.send.her to a labour camp in Syberia and no one would ever hear ab her anymore. They would make up some reliable story about her disappearance... The same they did when she get her high profile injury- the head of Olympic board back than came out in front of the media that Elena just "have small injury trying to do.some self made trick, but however she was in a retiremeng age anyway, so it was up to her to return or not". While.she.had a high profile injury! This is how the dictatorship countries were and are! They have to be the best, no flaws. And you as a.person have to obey. So that's why Elena's choice was to do the Thomas.salto or die trying...
Sravani Yarlagadda...Elena was not an orphan. Her mother died in a house fire but her father survived. However, he was incapable and unable to take care of and raise Elena because he was an alcoholic. Elena was therefore raised by her grandmother. Her father would on occasions visit Elena but only because he wanted money from her. I also understand he might have spent time in prison having been charged with starting the house fire. However, I’ve not yet located 100% evidence confirming that outcome. The word Orphan means a child who has lost both parents to death.
Demostro que es la mejor de la historia. No gano medallas olimpicas porque nunca estuvo en los juegos. Sin embargo en 1978 apabuyo a todas en el mundial incluida Rumania con todas sus estrellas. Es mucho mas que todas las gimnastas. Solo basta mirar el nivel de dificultad. Era de otra galaxia

Yo recuerdo perfectamente ese día.Me.frustro de por vida.Nunca lo olvidé.Y cuando.mi hija estaba pequeña practicaba la gimnasia y yo la retiré porque nunca lo superé.Lo estaba viendo en el exacto momento que sucedió y todavía.al dia de hoy me impacta y duele
Los que no saben y conocen sobre la vida de elena mukhina su padre la abandonó cuando era niña su madre murió en un incendio su abuelita la crió como si fuera su hija alos 20 alos 20 años quedo en silla de ruedas sella la obligaron a entrenar para seguir en otros juegos olímpicos fue campeona mundial fue la única gimnasta que logro ganarle a la lejendaria Nadia comaneci
Ela era perfeita, pena que tal perfeição era pura exploração e contra a vontade dela. Tudo por propaganda de um regime cruel do período soviético. Ela não tinha escolha 😢

Quello che le hanno fatto lo staranno scontando all'Inferno....senza ombra di dubbio.....il suo capo allenatore per primo....tipico esempio della follia della guerra,fredda/calda/ tiepida,solo follia e gente che ci mangia e marcia sopra....ed è sempre la brava gente a farne le spese....angelo stupendo finalmente libero dalla malvagità di questo mondo e dall'impossibilta' di muoverti ti starai sicuramente esibendo per Gesù....arrivederci.....P.S.:Mai come in questo caso mi è difficilissimo mantenere un tono educato....
Que triste por Dios😭😭😭
Yo recuerdo perfectamente ese día.Me.frustro de por vida.Nunca lo olvidé.Y cuando.mi hija estaba pequeña practicaba la gimnasia y yo la retiré porque nunca lo superé.Lo estaba viendo en el exacto momento que sucedió y todavía.al dia de hoy me impacta y duele
Los que no saben y conocen sobre la vida de elena mukhina su padre la abandonó cuando era niña su madre murió en un incendio su abuelita la crió como si fuera su hija alos 20 alos 20 años quedo en silla de ruedas sella la obligaron a entrenar para seguir en otros juegos olímpicos fue campeona mundial fue la única gimnasta que logro ganarle a la lejendaria Nadia comaneci
Si. Lo creo. Era mejor que Nadia!
Hoy/ 2022 tendría 62 años 😢
Muy joven todavía..QDEP ángel
Ela era perfeita, pena que tal perfeição era pura exploração e contra a vontade dela. Tudo por propaganda de um regime cruel do período soviético. Ela não tinha escolha 😢
MUKHINA, THE BEST!!
Todavía nos duele tu partida.
Мы по-прежнему вредим вашему отъезду.
Ternura en dónde estés
Ojalá te vea pronto
Very elegant Gymnastics
So elegant, graceful and beautiful. Gymnastics nowadays are still impressive but they're now just acrobatics almost nothing artistic about it.
you couldnt do anything they do, instead you’re in a youtube comment section whining about nothing to distract you from your pathetic life
Depois da Nádia só Elena nos levou até às nuvens😭.
Kobat is Queen 👑👑👑
Rest In Peace 🤍🙏🏻 what terrible tragedy!!!
She knew it wasn’t safe. Poor thing.
That's f**ked up. I'm so sad
😢😢😢. That coach was the reason why she broke her neck. She said he treated her like a living robot, I wonder why she didn’t tell her parents.
No tenía padres
il padre spari' quando lei era piccolissima e la madre è morta quando lei aveva cinque anni.
Foi criada pela vó
One parent was an alcoholic. Very hard life. 🙏
