They were always exquisite on the ice. You can feel the love and their deep connection coming out in their programs. I would not have waned to be the skaters that had to perform right after them. They were too tough an act to follow.
Sergei didn’t even look like he’s using some of his energy here 4:28 . You can always notice small details when doing lifts or throws. Like the male using more force or strength. Sergei’s like always chill~~~~
One of my favorite G and G programs.
I like the little hops they do when they spin.
I’ve never, ever heard Scott Hamilton, or any commentator, tell you about a mistake before it even happened. He was always reacting live. Here he was watching a tape later, and he’s telling everyone that he’s watching a tape later. “The only mistake is coming up right here, wait for it!”
Never seen him took a deep deep breath after that program. His heart was working hard.
Breathtaking! Jaw dropping perfection! My favorites forever!
Brilliance, Finesse and elegance!!! Skaters Compleat. Who can beat them?
Answer: no one
Perfection! Beautiful! In Love!
На это совершенство и красоту можно смотреть бесконечно. Спмая прекрасная пара в фигурном катании.
Meu favorito pra sempre..maravilhoso Sergey Grinkov. Sorriso lindooo....💔
PERFECTION ❤and we will miss him 😢 forever
WOW, the love binds them like no other force can beat them
You can see how tired Sergey is, his face is pale, he looks like the breath was taken out of him. Katia said that 6 months he has his upper back pain, that is the sign of heart problem. But No, nobody cares about it. He should be in the hospital to check his health. Specially that his father died from heart disease. I refuse to believe and understand this situation. How in the world this happen to him. The closest people didnt take care of his life.
Show, competitions, medals........
Is all of it worth to loose life.
I New nothing about it till couple months ago,,,,,,,, and I can not watch it without the tears. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Camilla K at 28 years old, no one expected anything like that and being an athlete, a pairs skater, back/shoulder pain is common. And if you read her book My Sergei, his back issues were his back. He would have his foot go numb even. I was 14 when he died and couldn’t believe it myself and yes you asked why and how. I still ask why and how.
As tragic as it is, no 28-year-old goes to the doctor for a test to see if their arteries are blocked. Everyone would naturally assume that Sergei was in far better health and had much longer to live than his overweight father who died at 55. I doubt any Olympic skater today would be thinking about his heart. That said, he was visiting a lot of doctors and an astute doctor might have gotten an idea that something else was wrong, especially if the doctor knew about his father’s four heart attacks. The language barrier, unease with the American health system, and his stoicism almost certainly played a role. Is he going to go to an elite doctor in Connecticut or Lake Placid and complain that he’s out of breath? No. Would a doctor even understand what that meant, coming from an Olympic athlete in perfect shape? No. People are and were trained to treat heart attacks in athletes like runners and basketball players and “manly” sports like that, so it probably also hurt that he was a figure skater, in a foreign country. No one looked for it.
B C congenital heart defect caused his death. It was missed in Russia too
i agree, there was an interview in russian where sergei said that it was time for them to rest and that maybe they should coach. However they kept skating because katia wanted to. even in her book katia said sergei was suffering a lot and at times he didnt want to skate anymore but they kept skating. katia said herself as well in her book that shes a skater first before anything else. they should have rested but for her, work and skating was the most important thing.
@@ravenel2 Well said. :( But he actually went and saw several doctors but his coronary artery disease was undiagnosed. For a 28 year old Olympian who looked fit, heart disease was probably the last thing on the doctors' minds. Sergei also apparently didn't show symptoms aside from the constant back pain and that numb foot he had 6 months prior to his death. Athletes are used to pain and injuries, so those two signs he had could have been taken as the usual injuries athletes go through.
Красота какая, ох выше класс! :)
Wunderschön..
Love them.
So graceful😊
RIP Dear Sergey.
Amazing ❤😍
2022г Год ФЕВРАЛ..4...Небесный день рождения у Сергея..55 лет..ПОМНИМ ЛЮБИМ СКОРБИМ..Угасла ЗВЕЗДА 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟..Спасибо...за все..Покойся с миром..
Сколько не смотри насладиться этим невозможно! Царствие небесное Сергею и здоровья Кате
life on ice, love on ice, work on ice and death on ice...
... life on ice.... that’s what you surely created!!!!!!❤
Rest in peace Sergei✝️🙏♥️
Hindsight is always 20-20, as the saying goes. I know if a man that was having a stress test and had a heart attack during the test and died right in the hospital with the Dr right there! They tried but could not resuscitate him! Sadly, some things just can’t be prevented!
At 5:58 it looked like sergei said something 🤔
Sergei está sofocado.
😢 su corazón estaba crecido y empezaba a bloquearse sus arterias, amo tanto a Katia y a Daria que un corazón tan bello y con tanto amor no pudo ser contenido por su pecho, siempre pienso así y siemore deseo lo mejor para los tres.
Еврейчики.
Что за чушь несёте?
Katia is half - Jewish I think. Not sure about Sergei.
even though she slammed into the side she cARRIED ON LIKE A TROUPER wonderful
Thank you sooooo much for this. There were a few added/different elements here than in their 1994 Lillehammer Olympic program. Just absolutely beautiful to watch!!
they’re so fucking gorgeous
This is absolutely beautiful.
My favourite performance of this programme. There were a couple of lifts that you did not see at the Euros&Olympics.
Kat K yes! So absolutely beautiful and technically sound. There will never be another pair like them....
i love that swing exit on their death spiral but it was deemed illegal which is why G&G took it out before the major competitions that season
Such a beautiful programme. Thank you for uploading
You don't even hear them moving across the ice. I wish today's pair teams skated like this.
Troy Turner their blades are silent....they just literally glide......you don’t hear a sound. No one else does it better..💞
I loved those costumes. I wonder where they are. In Russia 🇷🇺? In her closet?
@ja3399 yes yes yes, however, maybe if the "sensing of what was to come" would have been some kind of warning to have saved him......what a tremendous loss....as much as she loves ilia, it is evident that the light permanently went out of her soul when she lost her Seriozha...as did the light of those that loved them and loved their contributions to the world.....agonizing loss....bittersweet to view them and their story
maria pounds Such a tragic, agonizing loss....still to this day, I mourn his loss....and I mourn for Katia and for Daria. If you watch videos of Katia now, up close, her eyes don’t have that same light they had when her Sergei was alive. To lose the true love of your life? I don’t think anyone ever really comes back from that. Not when the love was like that of Sergei’s and Katia’s. Sure, life moves on, but now there’s forever a sadness where love used to live...😔💔
I used to fiercely defend her love for Ilya since of course she had the right to move on and be happy. Now that they are divorced, I can say, good riddance Ilya. You tend to gravitate towards men like your father and Katia’s father was a control freak, so I wonder. Sergei was perfect, but interestingly enough, Katia didn’t exactly go searching for Sergei for her partner. Her first marriage was really a lucky fluke of the Soviet skating system.
Unbelievable.
@peanutbutterguy71 Whoops...thanks!
