One of the saddest deaths in all of sport. Not only was he talented, he seemed so sweet and gentle. And that smile! This one was (and remains) an absolute heartbreaker. R.I.P., Sergei.
Years later I taught my physiology students about Segei Grinkov, showed them videos of their skating, there wasn't a dry eye in the class room, one student murmured, "he was an angel on ice, he left too soon." He did indeed, leave too soon.
I was home when my mother told me, “There’s a 28 year-old Russian skater, who died of an heart attack. Do you know him?” Immediately, only one name came to my mind: Sergei Grinkov… but I told myself, “Nah… That’s impossible! I saw him performing not long ago!” I simply didn’t want to believe it. That’s when I watched the news later that night they confirmed it was indeed Sergei! My heart dropped and my mouth was open for about 10 minutes! I was never gonna see my all-time favourite skating pair anymore. Poor Katie and poor Daria! She’ll never get to know her father 😢😢😢 I then heard they’d pay tribute to Sergei on the show and I sure didn’t want to miss it. When I say Katie skating alone, that’s when I realized Sergei was really gone. I cried throughout Katie’s performance, especially right at the end of the show. Bless You Sergei! I still miss you! 😭🕊️🥺
Adorable when they were at the grocery store....and at the gym. Such a truly beautiful, loving couple. Seems the absolute greatest love stories always end tragically...😢💔

I remember that day well. I never cried about a celebrity death before, but I did for Sergei and Katia. Still so sad. All these yrs. later
Using “ dropped dead” is such an unfortunate classless choice of words to describe a beloved World Champion’s death!

The most beautiful pair skaters and couple of all time!
Literally no one ever compared to them.
Still makes me cry. So unfortunate.
Beautiful sergei, still so missed

It will always be a Star ⭐️ missing here on Earth; and that Star ⭐️ is: Sergei Grinkov. He will Never be Replaced nor will he Ever be Forgotten.
The Romeo and Juliet couple of our time ! 😢😪

We all miss them so much. I pray Katia and David live a happy life. Katia deserves happiness.
R.I.P. dear Sergei.🙏💔
How dare he say, “ Drop dead!” Sergei passed away or died on the ice would be better phrases.
Wow, he was gorgeous x
Мы всегда будем помнить 🙏 Сергей Гриньков. 🙏 🌹 🌹
