In 1988 they were the youngest skating pair to win gold, and they are still the record holders. They are also four-time world champions. They got married in 1991, and in 1992, they had a daughter, Daria.  On November 20, 1995, during a rehearsal for an upcoming tour, Sergei suffered a massive heart attack and passed away shortly after.  Doctors said the heart attack was caused by a defective gene that he had since he was born.  He was only 28 years old. ]]> 2017-02-09 17:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152847663 hornbackleah https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152864613 2017-02-09 18:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152864613 hornbackleah https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152865074 2017-02-09 18:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152865074 hornbackleah https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152865333 2017-02-09 18:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152865333 hornbackleah https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152876915 2017-02-09 18:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152876915 hornbackleah https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152880207 2017-02-09 18:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hornbackleah/83763e0dn5c0/wish/152880207
