Surprised to hear her net worth that high and lacking insurance. Maybe she was working for USAG for a bit then left and the insurance stopped? I don't know...

I hope she gets this behind her soon.

There was a famous USSR gymnasts from just before her era, Shushunova, she died of pneumonia, iirc. She was much younger.

Shushunova was just after; she was AA champ at 1985 Worlds (tied with teammate Oksana Omelianchik) and 1988 Olympics.

Mukhina was another Soviet Worlds AA Champ in 1978. She was paralyzed in training prior to the 1980 Olympics and died of pneumonia in 2006.
