Valery Brumel has passed away. I am not sure of the details. He was married to Ludmilla Turescheva, who was a world gymnastics champion in the early '70s I believe.

Got it, thank you very much. I still have old 16mm loop films of him and John Thomas. He had fantastic in-air body control.

I'm glad the e-mail got to you 'safely'. By the way I heard that he died of a long suffering illness.Out of all curiosity, What was the illness by the way??? Confused
Thankyou
