In the 1970s, when I was a teenager, I saw them perform in person. There were all kinds of wonderful skaters but the speed of this pair was unbelievable! It’s hard to see on camera but they were so fast you could not believe it! Fantastic.
They inspired me to skate, jump and to do tricks with skates. I love their example. I am now 52 and still in good shape. Thank you Alexander and Irina!
Sometimes very old sports look badly outdated. But not in this case! Power, speed, synchronism was like shadow - even the jump combinations. Still almost unbeatable performance.
Unfortunately in this Olympics (2014) people are not remembering the greatness of this pair and their accomplishments. Rodnina & Zaitsev were absolutely legendary in their performances. This was at the height of the cold war but people were able (in 1976) to put that aside & focus on the beauty & the artistry.
@@rolandgreen7484 I was a very young skater at this time and I thought they were amazing. I didn't think they were particularly artistic but the security and strength and speed were something. I preferred her with Ulanov actually. BUT, it all becomes moot when you see G&G for the first time. Irina who?
они оба великолепные фигуристы и величайшие спортсмены Мира! таким людям можно памятник при жизни поставить, они заслужили почет и уважение своим трудолюбием и талантом!
Правильно что старые спортсмены борются против прогресса в спорте,,,нечего людям ноги и головы ломать и убивать свою жизнь ради четверных прыжков оборотов
I remember watching this as a kid. I was involved in figure skating at the time. They were the best I'd ever seen. Then G&G came around and erased them. Rodnina might be a legend based on her number of titles and they might have been a great pair for their era, but Gordeeva and Grinkov are so far superior in every way that it's hard to take the superlatives seriously. 30 years later G&G remain the paradigm of great pairs skating. This looks clunky.
If all you see is the difference in height (which dissipated as they got older) and only pay attention to the throw jumps you know nothing about skating However, it's clear from your comments you know absolutely nothing about skating. You should stop typing.
YesI know almost nothing about skating and love G&G too. Even the newer pairs seem lesser to me, almost like they are trying too hard to be exceedingly artistic.
Щас понятно почему Роднина борется против Тутберидзе и четвёртых прыжков (то есть против прогресса в фигурном катании). Эта программа проста смешна на сегодняшний день, ни одного тройного прыжка или выброса или хоть какой либо достойной поддержки. Я бы промолчал бы если бы Роднина так яростна не боролась бы против прогресса в фигурном катании. Чего хочет Роднина, чтобы все отсылалось на таком же уровне? Без всякой иронии пишу что моей племяшке 9 лет и ей ставят программы гораздо сложнее чем это что-то. Старые фигуристы должны радоваться прогрессу а не бороться против него.
С ума сошли? Как она идёт на поддержки,так и сейчас не умеют! Собрана,при всей крепотуре своей лёгкая! вы наверное даже спортом Никаким не занимались,только телек смотрели. Но для вас и таких как вы они и катались,просто для публики.
Who needs artistry when you do every technical element better than everyone else, are so precise on every single move, and have speed and power over the ice nobody else can match.
Ирина Роднина была и остается навсегда великой и легендарной спортсменкой,слава и честь ей!!!
я с бабушкой смотрела их выступление по ночам! эбэ была фанаткой Родниной! я сейчас тоже фонатка Родниной!!! очень любим и помним ваши выступления!!!

Their speed was the first thing I noticed - they are moving FAST!
@@AisforAlibi1 Yes! Very fast. Much faster than the other skaters ... by far!
Непревзойдённые!!!👍🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
ВЕЛИКИЕ СПОРТСМЕНЫ! ГОРДОСТЬ ЖИВШИХ В СССР!!!! ПОМНИМ И ЛЮБИМ!!!!!
Да советская школа!!! Наше время.
Какая синхронность, поразительно.
Чмо голииое!!!
Всё равно, молодцы! Ирина просто чудо! Спасибо!
Умничка наша!!!

Skating is for the soul :) never leaves you even when you leave it. Xoxo
Роднина, надёжная как скала.
Советские видео смотрят в Европе. Любят смотреть на умных, серьезных женщин и мужчин.

How wonderful it was to see Irina light the flame in Sochi today. She was a great champion.
Absolutely - she is honored for her accomplishments. Put aside all else but that.
ЧУДО!!!
Великая фигуристка! Спасибо!!!

Оба!!
СССР - Сила !!!
сила такая сильная была что рухнула нерушимая,
Grandissima lei !!
This is pair skating not just tricks as is sometime the case today.
Какие у наших всегда красивые костюмы. И сами красава
Саша и Ирина молодцы
Vonderful 🥰
Браво маладци
Все программы которые делала для этой пары Тарасова очень красивые и профессилнальные.Без Жука, Тарасовой и Зайцева Роднина бы и не состоялась!
Правильно. И еще не состоялась бы без мамы и папы, бабушки дедушки, без льда, ботинок и коньков
AMAZING LEGEND!
Für mich sind die beste Eiskunstläufer bis heute.
Ja, ferstanden
Does anyone know what the first bit of music is? I love it
It's some folk music recorded by the Moiseyev Dance Company.

Впервые довелось увидеть ошибку в катании этих "великих" мастеров. Спасибо за приятный просмотр.
veri best

Did you say something? It's compete nonsense so I'll ignore it.
If all you see is the difference in height (which dissipated as they got older) and only pay attention to the throw jumps you know nothing about skating However, it's clear from your comments you know absolutely nothing about skating. You should stop typing.
That was a shitty comment. No one desputes G/G but come one reapect where the sport came from. Ignorant.
YesI know almost nothing about skating and love G&G too. Even the newer pairs seem lesser to me, almost like they are trying too hard to be exceedingly artistic.
Wow ashame that skating sucks today
Why no throw jumps?
She was scared of them. Never did them in her entire career as they wern't compulsory back then
throw jumps weren't allowed than . It was 1976'
@@nenavujicin7882 Starbuck & Shelley did them in the late 1960s.
@@tarakwannabe675 , but throw jumps weren't allowed in competitions than.

Не забывайте о том, что прошло более 40 лет. Ео смотрится красиво.

Сейчас просто смешно смотреть это катание чемпионов
They are as artistic as an awkward 13 year old on a dance floor with two left feet

@@richardross4677 They do. The slow part of this program is ridiculous. They look like they're dancing at a wedding. It never ends.
