In 1987, Sergei accidentally caught a blade on the ice and fell on Gordeeva’s forehead. It resulted in her serious hospitalization.
However, they did not make any excuses and continued to compete. Finally, they won a gold medal in the 1988 Winter Olympics.
According to Los Angeles Times, Gorinkov, 28, had fatal heart disease. He had an enlarged heart and high blood pressure reported on his autopsy report.
