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.
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.
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.
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🙏
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.
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 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.
Мне семьдесят,фигурное катание для нас всегда был праздник(я из деревни) и я помню эту пару с самого их первого выступления! Вначале Катя рядом с Сергеем прямо крошечкой смотрелась....Как мы их любили и восхищались ими!Такой гармоничной ,одухотворённый пары ,как они,не было и нет до сей поры!!!
