- Wikipedia Article about Sergei Grinkov since I can't find any info about this documentary in particular: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_...
"Sergei Grinkov was born in Moscow to Anna Filipovna Grinkova and Mikhail Kondrateyevich Grinkov and had an older sister, Natalia Mikailovna Grinkova. He married Ekaterina Gordeeva in April 1991. They had two ceremonies because the USSR did not recognize religious ceremonies. The legal, official state-approved wedding was on 20 April, and a religious wedding in the Russian Orthodox Church took place on 28 April. On 11 September 1992, Gordeeva gave birth to their daughter, Daria "Dasha" Sergeyevna Grinkova, in Morristown, New Jersey. After the 1994 Olympics, they settled in Simsbury, Connecticut. Daria took up skating seriously at age 9, appearing with her mother in several skating shows from 2003-2007, but quit skating to pursue other interests in 2007."
Other VHS/DVDs I got on my channel: • Mista Vidz - VHS/DVD U...
I grew up watching them. You could feel their love for one another while skating. They married on April 20th 1991. It broke my heart when Sergei passed away. Their daughter looks just like him.
It came as a shock Sergei death. Too sad for such a great skater and sweet person to die so young. I couldn't stop crying at the end, life is so unfair 😭😭
Still cry for them. They got so much but lost so much. 💔. Exquisite on the ice together.
I had just discovered this skating pair on tiktok, and as a young girl who didn't see them skate in person because I was born ten years after his death, I can't believe how learning about them has affected me. Like I watched the "My Sergei" documentary about 4 times and honestly can't really bring my head around the fact that he died. I cried every time I watched the documentary, and for some reason I just feel unbearable pain. I think maybe because they had such a pure and passionate love just like a fairytale that you kinda expect there to be a happy ending, but that wasn't the case for them and that honestly broke me. To think that this could happen to someone so young and talented, it's just so unfair.
Hi I also saw a TikTok video about them. And I relate to what you have said so much. Have you read the book she wrote ? You are able to get a deeper insight.
@@lea6967 I really want to read the book, I’m thinking about buying it for myself for Christmas. I was left absolutely heartbroken by the documentary, I literally cried for 3 hours, so I already know reading the book is gonna be difficult.
Don’t worry you’re not alone I also found this pair off of TikTok and my first thought was holy moly that guy is attractive then I started watching videos of them skating and it was just beautiful and after that found out that he passed and just started crying right then and there and for over the past week I have never cried so much in my life and the comments on the TikTok just made me cry 100 times more but I can’t get over there story it’s very beautiful but very sad I haven’t watched this yet because I’m scared I’m gonna cry a lot but this couple has definitely add me realise how beautiful figure skating really is. ( I’m sorry I don’t know where this comment related to yours but I just needed to get it of my chest since everyone else that comments on these videos are from like 12 years ago).
@@nikitapowell5481 Omg I totally agree, I thought the exact same thing when I first saw them like daaamn he is so attractive. I literally only discovered this skating pair Friday last week and my gosh I have been crying everyday. My chest feels so heavy and empty and they really impacted me so much that I kinda feel like I won’t ever feel the same and I’m only 16 like I wasn’t around when it happened. Thank you so much for replying, I’ve tried talking to my friends about it but they don’t really understand so it feels nice to know that someone else was impacted by it just as much as I was.
@@annanorris4102 literally same I’m 15 and my friends could not give a shit and I have definitely been impacted in a certain way but now I’m just gonna get into watching pair skating because it’s definitely a unique and beautiful sport. :)
Thank you for this wonderful video.
We are still grieving for Sergei. May he rest in peace 🙏😭🩷⛸️😭😢
There will never be a pair like Sergei
and Katia. They’re one of a kind.
Their love is pure magical.💕🩷♥️
That's so sad Sergei's mother lost her husband and her son 😢 this poor woman my god
It is so sad. Katia lost her husband and her dad too. Both heart issues. Plus Sergei's sister lost her mom, dad and her brother.
We will never get to experience another team or couple like G&G. Such a beautiful real life love story that the world was lucky enough to get to watch from start to finish. Every time Katia takes the ice, I can’t help but see Sergei with her. Their love was so palatable. They had something that most of us can only dream of having. It’s heartbreaking but still so beautiful. Daria is definitely her father’s daughter. She is his mini me. I only hope it helps Katia feel Sergei around her. He loved these two women so much. Romeo and Juliet have nothing over Sergei and Katia. Just one glance and their love was so obvious. The day Sergei was so cruelly stolen from Katia, Daria, and their skating family was criminal. It was just horrendous.
So beautifully said, they had something that most of us can only dream of!
It’s 2024, I still love them, and I love all the VCR noises from the VHS. I sincerely thank you for this! ❤⛸️
The definition of “she fell first but he fell harder”. Their love is one of a kind! Their live enlightens the whole room
I can't get passed the idea that he was exhibiting pain in his shoulder & back, arm & neck then suddenly completely blocked artery so suddenly..? ❤❤
Wow. “ I buried my son. He was not my son-in-law” proves what a great man he was and Katie’s kind father.
So many tears watching this. I will never get over it. They deserved a lifetime together
Today is 28 years I was at the Hartford Civic Center for the celebration of life I remember thinking then there are no 2 greater skaters than Sergei and Ekaterina I'm so blessed this was in my time growing up
I m so sad that he died. I remembered i used to watch this couple ice-skating since 1989 -1994. He s very good looking guy.
What's more heartbreaking is that his profession contributed to his early death. His heart couldn't handle the years of grueling workouts and competition.
it was also hereditary, his dad died from a heart attack 5 years before him, and his mom also died from a heart attack 5 years after sergei’s death, his sister is the only one alive to this day i think
Und ich habe gelesen, dass er studieren wollte und das Skaten aufgeben wollte. Doch ich denke, dass wurde ihm von den Trainern schlichtweg nicht erlaubt. Er hatte bereits zu grossen Erfolg.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. So unfair. It still makes me sad.
Me too! Life just is sooo unfair sometimes! I don’t think I’ll ever will get over it and even when I watch the current pairs on tv, and I just can’t get into their skating like I did with G & G, their were breathtaking. I also feel so sorry for Daria, who never really got to know her Daddy, because she was so little when he died, but I’m sure she still feels his love ( because it’s so obviously seen in her pictures and videos when she was with her dad how much he loved her) and he’s always watching over her now. Still makes me sooo sad, and I cry at the end of the video and sometimes on the anniversary of his death.
@@maryvonwald8729 I saw her Instagram daria looks like a druggie that wouldn’t be the case if he was alive today
@@Veronica-bc6pp Yeah I’ve seen her instagram too. So sad. Yeah her life would prob be so different if her dad had lived.
@@maryvonwald8729 yes she would’ve gone to the top schools
@@maryvonwald8729 very sad
This is the most beautiful and sad love story I know. I feel like love like that doesn‘t exist anymore nowadays but I‘m so happy they shared this true love with us
I remember watching them back in the 80's. I will never not be sad for the wife and daughter he left behind. His death rocked the skating world and shattered her hopes and dreams for her future. RIP. Sergei.
OMG, so touching when he skated around carrying her because her foot was injured.
45:00 although it's just a small moment I think this would have been my fav part throughout the whole thing, it shows how connected they are and my heart breaks for their ending.
Ikr!!😭😭 feels like fairytale love story script
Yes I absolutely loved this part
Loved it so much!
Just imagine if Sergei went to a examine his heart after his father died of an heart attack… maybe, just maybe he’d still be alive today. Poor Sergei! 😢
Even with his heart checked it back then would've appeared normal.
The one he got act like a landmind more than timebomb.
It forms huge bloodclot forms extremely fast, less than 24hr before it blocks his heart completely.
Most of the time those who got it are healthy individuals so he would've not fit criteria for detailed heart checkup anyways.
@@user-eg9no9os7u That’s why I said “maybe, just maybe”
A beautiful man. A loving, fragile yet immensely strong soul taken too soon ♡ Sergei, your legacy lives on. Much love to Katia and her children.
A beautiful Love story…so inspirational yet heartbreaking. I was so teary eyed watching the whole video.
I need some tissue.
I am deeply moved.
Sergei dying so young is so unfair and sad. We are lucky to be able to watch their skating whenever we want.
HEARTBREAKING - HEARTWRENCHING, that Sergei's heart issue was overlooked for so long. May his legacy be remembered forever, he was an immaculate skater with a heart of gold. God Bless this wonderful family! This is a beautiful tribute to Sergei, Katia and darling babygirl. Thank you
He was such a good guy that’s why his heart gave out he loved too much and some guys today don’t know how to love
My heart hurts for Katia💔 they were so in love. I don’t remember hearing about them but found their story on TikTok. Thank you for the video.
It's really comforting reading the comments under this that so many others have been so touched by their story.
I watched the documentary, read Katia's book, watched so many of their performances and the few interviews with them and I feel so heartbroken. I feel like I'm almost not allowed to feel so much grief for someone who passed away years before I was even born, but after learning so much about him (through mostly Katia, but also his friends), and learning about them and their dynamic I just can't help it. He seemed like such a kind, gentle person and their love story is so beautiful. Just totally unique. And you could instantly tell how much he loved Katia and Daria, and how much they loved him. How everybody around him just couldn't help but love him. He didn't deserve what happened to him. It's just so unfair. He had so much to live for. What really makes me sob is just thinking about everything that might have been (which makes me feel a little bit crazy bc I didn't even know him and wouldn't be a part of their life anyway).
I'm so happy that Katia found love again and that she was able to move on. I'm sure it was incredibly difficult for her, but she had to. You can't keep living in the past forever, then you won't have a future. I follow Katia and Daria on instagram, and they still remember him on his birthday and the anniversary of his passing. I noticed that they also follow the "gordeevagrinkovarchive" among other accounts about them, and Katia often likes and comments. Still very much missing him and remembering him after almost 27 years
You just put the words right out of my mouth. Same thoughts and feelings here. Though I'm the same age as Daria. We were born the same year. Sergei and Katia's story is so sweet and cute. They've known each other since childhood -- she also having a crush on him while he was oblivious at first being 4 years older. They grew up together not only in their careers but also in the personal level. They fell in love with each other, got married, and had a beautiful daughter. They went through half the phases of their lives (and also achieved so many things) together. It's heartbreaking to think that life with their daughter was just beginning then all of a sudden he died. He seemed so full of life. It just didn't make sense for him to die so soon. I mourn the years he could have lived more with his wife and daughter. But then many things in this life do not make sense at times. You just don't dwell on it or it'd make you depressed and go crazy or mad with grief, trying to understand the WHYs. For sure, Sergei is still in Katia's and her daughter's hearts. They just choose to keep it in private and don't broadcast is publicly always.
Love your comment. I was around to watch them in the 80s and 90s. They were my favorite pairs skaters and I remember walking in and seeing the story on the news about his death. I was stunned.
I'm so glad we have UA-cam to continue enjoying their routines.
And having My Sergei the movie on here to see their story. Love to watch them over and over, but the later ones from 1994-95 have a sadness to them because we know their time together won't last.
It's great to have others who still enjoy their amazing skating after all these years.
@@ginaclifton7443 Love these two comments so much❤️ Oh what I would give to have been able to see them in person or to still have Sergei here with us. I will always remember them, and definetly show my future kids their performences and tell them about their story. Sergei was an incredibly special person and touched so many hearts. He will always be remembered.❤️
I know exactly what you mean. I thought I was crazy or something because I actually feel like i’m grieving over someone I never even met and died before I was even born. I don’t why I feel so connected to them and their story. I’ve been watching a bunch of videos too and I want to order the book and I don’t know I just feel so sad It’s making me feel crazy like why did he have to die so soon life is so unfair.
@anja1627 😂❤❤❤
This is the kind of love that is hard to come by and to have witness the love they had for each other through this documentary, I can't help to think to cherish each moment that you have with your love ones. Time is indeed short and you shouldn't take it for granted. Live in each and every moment
istg if they don't make their story into a movie soon 😭
I don’t think I am ready for it to be honest
Yess!!! I need that movie😭😭
Their families wouldn’t want that so no thank you
@@jamiejoonks Katia said in a Russian interview that she got an offer to make a movie almost straight away but she said no. People need to remember that this is not entertainment and it’s actually someone’s tragedy
@@toxic-low-key-ghost7934 Props to Katia for saying no. This documentary is enough. The book was enough.
I was blessed to watch them as they grew up. ❤ Unforgettable…, irreplaceable. Pair’s skating will never see their equal. It was their magnetism to each other that drew your eye until the end. If you get the chance…, read her book My Sergei. It was also a tribute unequaled.
My heart broke when Katya danced alone.....
My faith swings on a tightrope and will fall into the abyss at any moment. I am a prisoner of anger and despair. I don't understand why? Why is fate so unfair? Why is such a pure, beautiful, noble life broken in two, which brought only happiness to the world? Why the wicked, the lazy, the liar, the dishonest, the invulnerable, who has no use on earth? But there is no answer and no truth! There remains the pressing pain and the unanswered question, WHY? God be with you Sergej, you are a beautiful and heart-warming boy inside and out.
Personally, there has never been another skating team who could perform as perfectly or as synchronized as G & G. Every time I watch one of their performances, he is so strong, yet carries her with such care and tenderness. First time I watched this movie, I cried like a baby. For her loss, and all they could have achieved. There will never be another team like them.
Holy Hannah, this was difficult to watch. It was so unfair what happened to them.
Some love and some loss just cannot be expressed in words, RIP Sergei until you are reunited with your beloved Katia and Dasha
About a week ago I was scrolling through TikTok and a video of them popped up. Immediately I was entranced and it almost felt like a crime to watch something so intimate. This story has changed my life. I can only imagine the pain and suffering this loss was for Katia and Daria. This is a very important story that I feel everyone should know. I have read the book and it has some great life lessons in it. One thing for sure is that Sergei lived his life to the fullest. He died doing what he loved even if it was too soon. This story has shown me that at any time a loved one can be taken away and to cherish the time you have with them. I will continue to learn from them and carry them both in my heart for the rest of my life.
Daria also wrote in her posts before touching messages about her dad. It's just so sad how she longs to know him. The way she wrote it. :(
Make me cry so badly
What an amazing couple, a beautiful love story of athletes at their best. My heart goes out to her for the loss of such a young husband
Inspiring love story " its better to have love and lost than never to have loved at all. My heart bleeds sadness, beautiful love story with sad ending. One day they will reunite again in heaven. Thank you for this inspiring video. Gives me hope and love to live life in fullness.
I had the privilege to watch them skate live couple of times. They were even better in real life than on video. They had that something that set them apart of any other pair skaters. Their program to Ella Fitzgerald was absolutely the best, something you will never forget watching live.
Their story is so beautiful. Love stories do happen in real life
I fell in love ❤️ with this couple and their love story. I searched out more videos and stories. I prayed for Katerina and Daria, and their families. Rest in Love ❤️ and Rest in Peace Sergei.
Thank you so much for sharing your warm heartfelt love story with us. God Bless you.
Aloha,

I still am very emotional about the loss of Sergi for Katia and Daria. They were such a beautiful couple… my heart aches for her and Daria.. I know she has found other loves but I just can’t imagine her loss..
he died just like his father, in the arms of his lover
Wife.
It's heartbreaking that Sergei was taken away from Katia so soon. Their love was still young and beautiful ❤.
I always loved watching them on the ice. Sergei and Katia were one of my favorite pairs skaters
It is a shame today more couples can'tove each other as much as these two. SERGEI was a very special man. It makes me sad uktrasound did not detect his obvious congenital heart condition. Echocardigrams were not done as well back then. Maybe he did not have one done.
I sure wish they would make a movie from this couple it would be so wonderful to watch I truly love this couple I watch them over and over just phenomenal ❤❤❤
Katia was asked and she said no. It would be lovely to see more of them but in the end, they were very private people.
His death hit the world hard. I was 15 when he died. I grieved for Katia. I have her books. Love her and Dasha.
They are one of the first couple performers I remember watching (I was very little when they were at the height of their careers) and I still find it very hard to find others that make me feel that sense of awe they brought to the table. I'm sad that their story ended in such a way, but this was beautifully done.
Ekaterina is such a strong woman. raising her daughter after the love of her life passed away and being strong for her is so admirable. a part of her heart belongs to sergei and that's never gonna change.
I saw them skate in person once. It was amazing. I remember watching them win medals in more than one Olympics. They were amazing together. It is really sad he died so young.
57:25 Sergei's face is so cute. His fun and goofy personality shows through -- Katia, his family and friends always said that he had a fun personality.
Ich finde, er hat ebenso eine grosse Ernsthaftigkeit in seinen Gesichtszügen. Das werte ich positiv. Er war bestimmt äusserst bescheiden.🌺
The way she speaks about him is so honest and beautiful. It’s not often you see a couple so genuinely in love. Their daughter is the spitting image of him, especially now (2022)
I remember their marvelous skating, Olympics, I remember the news of his sudden death... There were lots of skaters after but not as perfect as them...
Very strange how I stumbled upon this whilst studying on the 20/11. The anniversary of his passing. 😢 Now I'm completely drawn in and heartbroken due to this story. In the middle of watching this video and I just ordered her book 'My Sergei: A love story'. Completley happy that Katia, Daria and friends, family found a way to move past this time and live grateful to have known him but I can't help but feel abit sad because that is just love... Pure unconditional love, talent, kindness that was taken in the most unexpected way. 😩
True. He should have grown old with his wife and witness their daughter become a woman she is now. It's all the more heartbreaking when he wanted to have two more children.
I taped this myself when it came out in 1998. Thank you for posting. I haven't seen it in years. They were simply the best. Sergei gone way too young.
1:10:36 their rendition to 'The man I love' is so lovely
I loved these two I started watching ice skating because of them. A true love story on ice.
I saw a tiktok of them today, and found this and i am so sad now😢
This is the first time i ever heard of them, but my God,it broke my heart. Such a wonderful,gorgeous man, what a lovely couple...
I guess Heaven needed his angel back so soon 💔
Rest in peace Sergei. You are terribly missed
🙏♥️✝️😢
l loved these guys since l first saw them in Lillehammer. They _BLEW_ me away! Daria looks exactly like Sergei. So crummy for Katia and Daria especially. :(
Such a beautiful love story 😢
Their second trainer was like an angel sent to them….
Katia's mother was gorgeous!!,
But what a beautiful and sad story 😢.
Diese Geschichte ist soo besonders. Diese tiefe und echte Liebe ist soo gross. Und der Hinschied von Sergei soo traurig. Es berührt und bricht einem buchstäblich das Herz!! Das war eine tiefe Seelenverwandschaft.
Danke für diesen wunderbaren Bericht🌺
Jamás existirá una pareja similar, tan hermosa, auténtica, humana, extraordinaria. Soy una fan de años de esta hermosa.pareja y no me canso de ver sus videos.
I felt the horrid grief of the whole experience. She must be longing to see him again in the afterlife
How wonderful to have these videos what a beautiful blessing and such a tragic loss of life and love
I loved watching G & G skate together! Their skating was like a beautiful love story on ice and of course in real life!Such a tragedy! RIP Sergei! Never to be forgotten!
Given the fact that Sergei's father died from a heart attack. You would have thought their doctors would have put him through every examinations for his heart know to man even though he was a athlete. Heart disease is so highly concerning heredity. I think his doctors let him down. I would've had every test know to man for my heart every 6months. He was a athlete and his doctor missed heart disease. 2 completely blocked arteries is something his doctor missed. Terrible doctors.
Exactly!! I thought the same thing! This tragedy could have been prevented 💔
i’ve never heard of them before today and yet i found myself wanting to know more…a true love story. i wish they’d gotten more time.
They deserved to see more of life together.
Thank you for this. But my heart was so heavy and tears welling up after watching this.
They were so incredibly fast and perfect. Bless them. ❤
47:55 Their friend Alexandre Fadeev still felt like blushing and embarrassed, recalling about the time he spent with Sergei and Katia -- seeing that something romantic was going on. Hahaha cute.
He had the look of the Angels & she was a pure Princess..❤😢❤🎉❤
I’ve watched this so many times and I cry for them every time. 💔💔💔
Me too.
Es schwebt eine grosse Liebe über diesem Paar! Und leider war sie von so kurzer Dauer.
A few days ago I met this beautiful and painful story, the love stories in skating are beautiful but this one undoubtedly takes the gold🥇 one, it has easily become my favorite love story, it has captivated me in such a way that I can not even explain it; the beauty, the affection, the trust and company of two people who without expecting anything had something so precious that many of us only dream of having one day. Katia and Sergei's love is the living proof that there can be real love.
Found this story on tic tok my heart breaks for her 😢
beautiful story , i remember watching them at Olympics ... they where truly stars , God bless x
I remember in the 90’s I saw Katya’s first solo performance a year after Sergei’s passing and she broke down on ice and I cried too.
They were my favorite pair as teenager!
G&G Forever 🥺♥️
They were able to find an amazing balance between being parents , romantic lovers and professional partners. It' s realy hard and unusual
Ich kann mich noch gut erinnern, als Ekaterina und Sergeji mit Eiskunstlauf begonnen hatten.Sie war so klein und zierlich , von da an nie eine WM ,EM und Olympiade verpasst , wo sie dabei waren !!❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻😍👍👍👍!Viel Glück , Ekaterina!!!😍🇩🇪👍
Beautiful story so sad he passed
Thank you for this video, its absolutely stunning and expresses the love this wonderful couple shared...very sad Sergei dying so young. x
I will forever be heartbroken by this tragedy. I remember when this happened and even now I still watch this yet again even knowing how sad I will be! I pray for his family and for the loss they still feel❤
Perfect and Beautiful Love Story. They had a rare and beautiful kind of love. She will skate with him again in time…in Heaven.🌈❤🌹
I cried throughout this entire documentary
I would not wish this end upon my worst enemy, to lose someone so special that you love so much and have a perfect family with
I'd like to imagine he is dancing in heaven rt now 🥺 and one day they'll unite again in heaven and skate
Thank you so much for uploading this!!
Thank you for uploading this!
I can't thank you enough for providing the video of this movie. Their story was amazing, and heartbreaking.
Большая история ❤️ любви❤️🙏😭
Romeo y Julieta patinando sobre hielo. Eran almas gemelas, ambos encontraron al amor de su vida. Una pena que durará tan poco. ❤️
If you´re not coming from this sport and want to know what makes Katja & Sergej so special, you have to watch other couples and come back here afterwards.
The last part when Dasha pat her back😢 Gosh what a beautiful love story
Every time I saw him lifting her, I was like thank goddess, he didn’t had heart attacking
