I clicked this the same reason everyone else did! Thought someone died doing this, but re-read the title and you will see the quotation marks for the sports term.
I guess a lot of non competive people don’t know. The meaning. What a great choice of words. ....... plus did you even look at the thumbnail ? It’s drama to make money obviously
Well, I guess it was Daniela Silivas' chance for a 'sudden death' rather which is referred to in the title. Both, Daniela and Elena were in the same rotation, separated by only 0.025 with Daniela in a slight lead, when they entered this final apparatus rotation and Daniela was the first of the group of nine to vault, Elena the last. With a perfect 10 Daniela could very suddenly have closed the door for Elena and become olympic champion, a 9.975 would have guaranteed her a tie at least. However, with the 9.95 which she received she left the door open and Elena on her part took her chance to become sole olympic champion with her perfect 10.
I was a massive fan of gymnastics, watching,that is. As a child I would try to balance on the edge of the sofa back and pretend to do some moves. Now a days when I watch I think of what these children lost and the truly punishing regimes they went through. My bubble burst
Same. Just had this conversation with my teenage daughter watching the 2024 Olympics. I remember the one gymnast was almost 20yro and they were commenting how it would be her last competition, her last chance for gold. Simone Biles is 27
Wanna know how old I am? I was a teenager when the Seoul Olympics were happening. My biggest memories of Elena was watching the Seoul all-around. Silivas vs. Shushunova. LIVE! On the beam: when I saw Shushunova do her Rulfova, I asked what the heck was that? Mind you I didn't know much about gymnastics back then. When I saw her floor routine, I thought the Thomas tumble was crazy and her music was boring compared to Silivas. I didn't know at the time Shushunova was showing a mature flair to her floor work. However the biggest memory was the vault. Throughout the competition, I didn't see Shushunova smile at all. In fact I was telling my mother that the 'day of the smilers was gone.' Possibly because how I remembered Mary Lou always smiled. Sure Silivas smiled, but not as much. Anyways when Shushunova stuck her vault, that's when her smile came out. You can tell the pride in her face. She said it right there I did it!
Damn! Thank the baby Jesus I was only 10 years old in 88 otherwise that fact would have blown my tiny underdeveloped mind had I of known. I feel kinda sad now thinking that it ended up in a north London primary school scaring us wee kiddies over it's sheer size. Hey'ho!
For those who don't know what the title actually means, let me explain. If you rearrange the words "Sudden Death", you will get "Death Sudden". Did that help?
I'm assuming the Thumbs Down are due to the blurry, grainy video. One would think that better film was possible in 1988. These young ladies are fabulous. A Thumbs Up to them.
Złoty gol (dawniej „Nagła śmierć” - ang. Sudden Death) - nieużywana obecnie zasada w piłce nożnej dotycząca dogrywek. Wprowadzona przez FIFA po raz pierwszy w Mistrzostwach Świata juniorów w 1993 zasada złotego gola polegała na zakończeniu meczu piłkarskiego w dogrywce w momencie, gdy któraś z drużyn zdobędzie bramkę. W rozgrywkach o Puchar Polski zasada złotej bramki stosowana była już w latach pięćdziesiątych i sześćdziesiątych. Przy obowiązywaniu tego przepisu, obserwowało się w dogrywkach nudną, asekuracyjną i defensywną grę, tylko po to, aby przetrwać do serii rzutów karnych i w nich zadecydować o zwycięstwie. FIFA wyciągnęła wnioski z przeprowadzonych obserwacji i w 2002 podjęła decyzję o wycofaniu przepisu, a na jego miejsce wprowadzeniu reguły srebrnego gola. Z końcem czerwca 2004 przywrócono tradycyjną formę przeprowadzenia dogrywki - 2×15 minut, grane bez względu na aktualny rezultat do końca - znosząc obie te zasady.
Przykładowego złotego gola zdobył Oliver Bierhoff w meczu Niemcy - Czechy w finale Mistrzostw Europy w 1996 roku. Dzięki złotemu golowi Niemcy zostali Mistrzami Europy. Cztery lata później Francja zdobyła to samo trofeum dzięki bramce Davida Trezegueta, zdobytej w 103. minucie finałowego spotkania z Włochami. Współcześnie zasada tzw. złotego gola obowiązuje jeszcze m.in. w hokeju na lodzie, gdzie podobnie jak w piłce nożnej dogrywka i jednocześnie cały mecz kończy się po strzeleniu bramki przez którąś z drużyn.

sudden death- an overtime period in which a tied contest is won and play is stopped immediately after one of the contestants scores, as in football, or goes ahead, as in golf.
For those of you who don't know much about gymnastic's. Durng these time's, there was much less spring in the floor matt's as compared to today. If they had the same matt's then, that they do now, they would be able to do more adnanced skill's of today! Back then, it was all power and strength!
It absolutely astounds me just what the human body is capable of doing. I thought that was Aurelia Dobre at 1:46. My granddaughter LOVES watching her and her sons (Cyrus, Darrius (Dory), twins, Marcus and Lucas) videos on YT. We have to monitor closely as some are not appropriate for her age, but nonetheless, the ones she can watch she throughly enjoys.
Oh absolutely , you all are right before I let my granddaughter watch I prayed first and had my hand on the button to be able to stop it so to protect her . Wow to strong of a title
I love watching this kind of gymnastics. It’s amazing to me what they can do with they’re bodies . I’m glad no one died. You do make people think that with the title.
Crazy to think that we are the same age now. Seems so long ago. When being 18 and 19 in the Gymnast world, your considered a senior citizen. Leaving w/ a Silver knowing you won't ever have a chance again is very sad. I bet my mom still has some good ole VHS tucked away somewhere.
What's so sad, it's just the way it goes with this sport. Sad are children dying in Africa, sad is children getting shot in a drive by, I could go on and on but you get the idea.
I have a question if this lady was 49 years old at the time this happened normally when you have people representing your country during the summer games they're normally between the ages of 16 years old and all the way up to 29 years old the gymnastics arnone a Young Person's game somewhere between the ages of 16 to 29
🤔This is what separates the real athletes in the sport compared to those today...look at that springboard...I'd like to see the girls vault with one of those!!! We had one in our gym back in the late 70's early 80's as well as a couple with actual springs and then new springboards started coming onto the market...😁👍
I don't like when they say the winner and the loser. Damn! Second best in the world?? I'll take it! It's gold medalist and silver medalist. They need to get past that win/lose mentality.
Geesh, I’d thought that the “sudden death” in title was a Real Horrible Death!! Was holding my breath. I should be ashamed for being curious about what had caused her death. I’d forgotten the American Slang, or an idiom, about the “Tie Breaker” reference!
Maybe did not die during the performance but died suddenly meaning the person living many years then just out of the blue died for whatever 5he reason was
Sudden death in sports means there needs to be a winner, not a tie. Some folks here think that phrase is something deadly? It kills a draw.
When i see the word "sudden death" I think someone died suddenly.
me too
Me too.
Me too
@@sandracox3587 😔.
Me too Oh my god my heart
I love how we all are here for the same reason lol 😆
I didn't expect it to be what we all thought it would be, doesn't have enough views for that.

I was thinking this same thing as I began reading your comment.

Same here. But I did just watch the Elena Mukhina story and am sad about it.
I thought the woman died doing the damn routine🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same
😂😂Same
Me too🤣🤣🤣
Same
Yep, me too 🤣
Her routine was just amazing and she was so elegant!! Wow
A lil dramatic on the title wouldn't you think?
I thought it meant she died from breaking her neck or something. I didn't know what it meant haha
Diego Arpino Got mee too. I was searching for gymnastic accident/death videos and found this video all too boring.
tompparaideri Okay why were you even searching that?
Kaley Milliron You have never searced for climbing accident?, skateboarding broken bones? bull riding accidents? Skydiving deaths?
tompparaideri No because that’s just... WHY?!?!
And me clicking on this video because i thought someone literally died and it was going to be dramatic 🤦🏼♀️
The music felt like horror music too.
We must always contemplate our selves. I could not tell either. She succeeded on the horse not expired on the beam ,phew! 😏🌻
Yeah me too.. Glad she didn't die tho..
I thought, I don't remember anyone dying. Well, can't be mad.😅
S me too
I clicked this the same reason everyone else did! Thought someone died doing this, but re-read the title and you will see the quotation marks for the sports term.
When I saw the title I figured we'd see her vault - had to fast forward thru 8 minutes of a 10 minute vid to get to the vault.
Looking at this makes the current Olympics seem even more of a mess!
Favourite era in gymnastics, so elegant
It was a perfect vault, deserving of a perfect 10...such a tragic death, too young at 49. RIP Elena.
Rest In Peace Elena
Lol nobody dies here
By suddenly death he wanna say that she didn't won fp
I'm sorry but I thought the vault was not perfect! She was unsteady on the landing however, in 88 it probably was perfect
You probably only read the title and didn’t watch to see what it means
RIP to you, Ronan Rogers
Commentator was an absolute jerk, in my opinion, by repeatedly calling the other competitor a "loser."
OMG I'M SO HAPPY THAT SHE DIDN'T DIE FROM THE ROUTINE. BUT RATHER SHE KILLED IT!!! I CAN RELAX NOW LOL
Me too. Pleasing win. 😏🌻
Don’t lie. You wanted to see her snuff it like every one else 😂
R.I.P Elena Shushunova. Gone to soon but never forgottern.
Is she died? I'm confused.
@@rumarie7469 She died in 2018 from pneumonia.
No one knows what “sudden death” means? It’s like a shoot out for the win. 🤦🏻♀️
I guess a lot of non competive people don’t know. The meaning. What a great choice of words. ....... plus did you even look at the thumbnail ? It’s drama to make money obviously
Considering the thumbnail with someone falling off no one took much notice
In games, it’s like a tiebreaker. When games go on for too long, they add stuff like whoever gets it wins. I think that’s what they mean.
Or overtime in a football game is a 'sudden death round'. Its seriously mindboggling that some people don't understand fully what that means
People Drop Dead of Heart Attacks, Strokes, Embolisms, even Car Crashes=Sudden Death. So "Sudden Death" has a Good Meaning and a Sad Meaning.
Well, I guess it was Daniela Silivas' chance for a 'sudden death' rather which is referred to in the title.
Both, Daniela and Elena were in the same rotation, separated by only 0.025 with Daniela in a slight lead, when they entered this final apparatus rotation and Daniela was the first of the group of nine to vault, Elena the last.

However, with the 9.95 which she received she left the door open and Elena on her part took her chance to become sole olympic champion with her perfect 10.
Daniela isn't good enough on vault to get a 10 really. Unless the judges cheat.
That floor routine was amazing! What upper body strength she has! And delightful presentation

When GOAT actually meant what it stands for. No supersprung mats here. Just determination and pure guts.
God rest her soul ! Amen ! Beautiful performance! Hallelujah
There is no death in this video…..the title does NOT match the footage
Inverted commas means it's not death as in dying, but just a term in sports.
I think many of us on here were also thinking the same thing as me….the title is misleading
@@shellieburgoyne9555 A little I guess, but there's no real term to substitute 'sudden death' in sports. 'Elimination' doesn't mean the same thing.

I think the pressure on all these athletes is awful. They perform super-human things that gravity and the human body shouldn't be considered normal.
I totally thought I was about to see someone die😂😂😂
Got me again! I’ve clicked on his exact video more than once thinking it was a sudden death vault mistake.
"Sudden Death" used to mean in football the winner was whoever scored first in overtime. Similar?
Yes, in this case & other sports eg archery, it means the last competitor has to get a perfect (higher) score to win.
I knew what Sudden Death meant but I was also mislead knowing that shushunova passed away from pneumonia
Well...OK. But she didn't get pneumonia by performing the vault at the Olympics.
