The best days of figure skating. There was real magic! As an American, have to say there has always been something very special with Russian Figure skating greats that nobody else has matched.
Well. They have special sport schools for talented sportsmen and they are free, unlike, in America and Canada. They don’t go to the ordinary schools like other kids.
If ever there was an example of 'life's not fair " this is it. Their only crimes were being so in love, their intense practicing resulting in exquisite performances and unmatched artistry. RIP Sergei. Ekaterina was and is still my favorite female skater.
These two were perfection on ice. I remember seeing them for the first time in the 88 Winter Olympics. They were teenagers and so was I. And I was thrilled to see other teens doing incredible things at that time. Marina Zueva created magic with them and it was just breathtaking to watch. It was tragic and heartbreaking for Sergei to die so suddenly. But G&G will forever be one of my favorite pairs skaters and the gold standard to follow.
I feel the word perfect isn't enough to describe this beautiful couple. They were the true definition of soul mates. They were two kids who started a professional relationship, then, a friendship, and then, a romantic relationship. She married her best friend and he married his best friend. And together, their love made another human being..their beautiful daughter, Daria. And tragically, it was taken away. All these years later, it still breaks my heart. But I'm happy that Katia found the strength to continue and go on. God bless.
Ja ich stimme Ihnen voll zu. Sie waren Seelenverwandte. Zuerst Freunde, dann entstand die zauberhafte Liebe, dann ihr herziges Töchterlein. Diese wunderbare Verwandlung von Zuneigung nimmt man beim Zuschauen auf dem Eis wahr. So schade, musste Sergei sterben. Das bricht einen wirklich fast das Herz.
There will never be anyone that could even get close to these 2 talented pairs skaters. Sergei was big and muscular, but was always so gentle when throwing Katya. what a horrible thing him having a major heart attack at 28! I could watch them over and over again. RIP Sergei.
Watching this and reading about him, I didn't know what had happened but such a shock to have a heart attack, especially at such a young age and he was 27 here.
I read somewhere that he dropped her once - ONCE - in practice and never never never did it again. You can see how he lifts her and sets her down like she's made of glass.
@@CarolanIvey Yes. And Ekaterina Gordeeva once said that the case when Sergei dropped her, brought them closer. Sergey then was very worried about her and their relationship moved to a new level. It was in 1987, before their first Olympics-88.
Yes he is so graceful despite being so tall. Impeccable. I was watching their older performances when she was just 16 and I could see he was even more delicate and gentle with her when she was younger. Which was so refreshing, almost seemed to follow her lead and give her space, very respectfully. Then later on after marriage I could see he got more comfortable with her, almost had a better grip on her, not rough by any means but more firm and confident with his touch with her. I adore.
I always watch the male partner during the throw. Sergei always skated through the throw, as if Ekaterina weighed nothing. He made it look so effortless and natural. Most male pairs skaters come to a dead stop and heave their partner with obviously great exertion. So often, it looks as if the girl weighs a ton and he's using every ounce of his strength to chuck her across the ice. But, not Sergei. Sergei was the quiet one in G&G. He allowed us to focus all of our attention on Ekaterina, because he was a great partner. In my opinion, Sergei is still the best male pair skater ever. And I don't see that changing any time soon. It'll take someone spectacular just to be mentioned in the same paragraph as Sergei.
I read Sergei said Katia was the driving force for their skating. He was the very best partner she has ever had. He was extraordinary and so supportive of her both physically and emotionally. I hope someday I can meet him in heaven🙏
I love their little interactions before, during and after performances. They’re not physically too intimate but also too intimate at the same time. I don’t know how to describe it.
I ❤ these two! The way he "presents" her during the death spiral always gets me. They are magical together. Such a loss when only a year later he was gone. A love like that is rare and such a blessing. Their daughter is living proof of their holy, blessed union.
Не знаю, кому я ставлю лайки сейчас, но эта пара - просто"космос" (выше неба)!!! Досмотрела до конца - "мурашки"! Так проникновенно! Спасибо! Сергею - вечная память!!!
They were more than the best, they were extremely memorable. I only wish they were framed into the hearts of their fans and supporters. We missed them so much.❤️❤️❤️

Every time I watch their videos it is with very mixed emotions: awe and wonder at how amazing they were and unbelievable sadness that the was snatched from this earth when they both had so much more to give. Life just isn’t fair sometimes 😢😢😢❤❤❤
Other pair skaters are over-choreographed with too much unnecessary movements that you're left wondering if what you're watching is an acrobatics at circus or figure skating. Yes, it's not east what they do. I commend their skills but Sergei and Ekaterina were just so unique in that they were like poetry on ice. They floated rather than skated. It's amazing how they make it so seamless and soft and effortless. Each one of the shadow of the other. The connection is there that even you, as an audience, feel it. Sergei was a gentle giant who'd hold and lift his wife as if she's a crystal glass that's so delicate. Aah it's just so beautiful!
This was far from their best skate, that being said, you can compare every element they did with their competitors and they’d still come up miles ahead.
Они были очень красивыми и очень талантливыми! Всегда! И читать без боли в душе книгу Екатерины невозможно! Почему так? Сказать очень жаль,что Сергей ушел так рано,это ничего не сказать... А Кате и ее семье счастья!!!!
I've never rooted for another Country's athletes liked I did for them. I just simply loved everything about them, and still do. It broke my heart for her when he died. They were so in love. She's on her third marriage. I think she keeps trying to find that love again, and she never will. Their's was a once in a lifetime love story.
Perechea invidioasa care nu si a putut stapini invidia mai ales el ingrozitor.stiam ca sportivi sunt invatati sa si ascunda rautatea si invidia sub un zimbet Bravo,Felicitari,Katia si Setghei
Такая легкость и синхронность,единение душ у них было во всем. Отец Сергея тоже умер от сердца. Ведь они были под постоянным медицинским контролем,его жалобы на брлитв спине,а причину этой боли не установили,проверить все-бледный был последнее время,а почему,тоже никто не обеспокоился. Несправедливо страшно!
You can see how much pairs skating has changed since their time, but they are still iconic and just...perfect. It's amazing how silent their blades are on the ice.
My husband went to work and never came home my daughter was 5 years old how do you make them understand they don't her husband died before my husband did u can see her pain but you can't say I know how she is feeling no you don't especially when you got a child with his eyes and you have to tell that child that daddy is gone to heaven you say something with a smile that daddy was such a good person God needed daddy in heaven where he always be around you but you won't be able to see but he can hear you What helped her understand it is I sent her to Catholic school public school was so over. Crowed and I worked for the payroll department in public schools
I’m truly sorry for your loss 😞. I’m so blessed to still have my best friend 27 years and counting. God bless you and your family. I can’t imagine your pain. I’m so sorry.
I once heard someone refer to figure skating at the 1994 Olympics as the Olympics where they got every gold medal wrong. I have to agree. I'm a huge G&G fan and was rooting for them back then, but after reviewing their performance here and that of Mishketunik and Dimitriev, I believe M&D should have won because of Sergei's problems in his performance. Although I prefer G&G's style, M&D skated clean.
Здравствуйте...я с Вами соглашусь.. Недавно 4 Февраля был день рождения у Сергея...ПОМНИМ ЛЮБИМ СКОРБИМ ...он в наших сердцах ❤ 🧡 💔 Большая потеря...Не уберегли...
Не понимаю, почему в то время все носились с Родниной и Зайцевым? По качеству и точности движений эта пара похожа на кошку, а Роднина и Зайцев - на два деревянных автобуса.
Родина и Зайцев в свое время были первыми величинами, я их в детстве обожала. Время идёт, техника исполнения усложняется. Но пара Гордеева-Гриньков до сих пор эталон красоты и синхронности мирового фигурного катания. Этому прокату 29 лет, но до сих пор меня восхищает. Браво!
I noticed Sergei having difficulty breathing and he looked pale lost weight. They should have rested at this point. They made a good deal of money when they turned professional Why oh why nobody even bothered to notice!!!!! Poor Sergei😥 Rest in peace Sergei⛸️💐♥️✝️ We miss you sooo much
Hello I will create a video montage and it will be on youtube. I will compare the program of Gordeeva/Grinkov and Michkutienok/Dmitriev. May I use your video for my video montage. Thank you by advance of your response.
Yeah, their technical scores were too high considering the three mistakes, and Mishkutionok & Dmitriev received some criminally low technical scores despite a cleaner skate. Still, G&G are my all-time favorites, so I was happy they won.

I believe the Russians were born to skate. I miss this pair so much.

They were just so beautiful and flawless together. They floated across the ice. Such a Beaty to witness. Definitely my favorite pair on the rink.

This is true intimacy. Not showy at all yet 100%.

My heart broke for her when he died so young. 😓

Досмотрела до конца - "мурашки"! Так проникновенно! Спасибо! Сергею - вечная память!!!
G&g were the best i watch them on my phone all the time over and they still take my breath away love them
They were one of my favorite pairs. So graceful. Such a shame she lost the love of her life at such a young age.
I think the air from the rink in Lake Placid made it very hard to breathe.. It could have had something to do with the inevitable.
I skated summers there and it was too hard to breath in there.
They were so in love. Today is December 6, 2023.
Катенька и Сергей ! Какие вы хорошие, талантливые, целый спектакль на льду!, гармония во всем !
THE BEST COUPLE IN HISTORY ........ AND MAKING HISTORY in figure skating 👌😍👏

Я любила многих ,но они быстро забылись.эти просто на долгие десятилетия! Спасибо Катя исергей!!! Светлая память Сергею!
Her book is wonderful. I cried and cried.
I have watched this one for many times! It was so beautiful 😻their out fit was so classic!

Bellos,increíbles,que hermoso verlos!ese gesto de Ekaterina al final,esas miradas.que pareja inolvidable!
Такие красивые. Просто я их обожаю! Столько лет прошло, моя любовь к этой паре навсегда!!!
So heartbreaking to watch, but it is sheer perfection.
Моя самая любимая пара на все времена!
No - as in :) NO there will Never be another couple -- . . .so Poignantly beautiful. Still remember his untimely passing.
The most beautiful couple to glide the ice.
Beautiful use of their arms throughout the entire presentation - not like today's flinging and waggling all over the place.
Pure artistry.

невозможно смотреть без слез,зная что он умер..таким молодым

Yes they were Best Figure Skating.
Their skating is so clean and pure.
They have such great chemistry. It looked painful for them to have to be so far away from each other on the ice.
Лучшие на все времена
I remember them from my childhood. I loved them so much!
Они лучшие, врезались в память навсегда
Так легко танцуют,Катя летает как пушинка,супер!!!!
Прекрасная пара!!!
Катя,Ви з Сергієм найкращі!
Они были очень красивыми и очень талантливыми! Всегда! И читать без боли в душе книгу Екатерины невозможно! Почему так? Сказать очень жаль,что Сергей ушел так рано,это ничего не сказать... А Кате и ее семье счастья!!!!

С самого начала программы читается Жук, фирменный тренерский почерк
Flaws and all, they were the perfect pair.
Никогда, никогда.... Ну не найдет она никого, кто понимал бы и разделял.
I wish they would put this in HD
There is a HD version and it was commentated by Japanese though.
My favorite program
Rest in peace Sergei in God’s loving arms
