Drama on ice: a love story of beautiful skaters Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergey Grinkov
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2022
- The story of their love was bright and touching, but very short.⠀
Beautiful young and talented - Sergey Grinkov and Ekaterina Gordeeva were the real stars of figure skating in the 80-90s. They managed to become Olympic champions twice, three times European champions and four time world champions in pair figure skating.
3 years before the tragedy, Sergey and Ekaterina got married and had a girl, whom they named Dasha. But in one moment everything changed. Right on the ice during training, Sergey's heart stopped...
I remember when this happened. There were no countries, only the world, united in grief and sympathy for Ekaterina.
💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦😭
OH Yes I remember all of this and the intense pain I felt for them , and all around them
I also remember the shocking horror 😲 🤯 intense pain of how she suddenly forgot all of the American English words her heart was screaming out for help 💥 💔 💓 💔 🙌 🙌 💥 😭 💦💦💦💦💦💦!!!!!!!!
🙏❤
Yes….. as a child one of my all time favorite things to do was watching the figure skaters with my dad… I remember them so well, his passing was so sad and felt by the world… Daria is her fathers twin, that smile is the exact replica of Sergei🥰
I stopped watching figure skating for a long time after this happened. It's still so sad. 💔💔💔
@@zizoboom3313 yes, I felt the same.
They were soulmates in the truest, purest sense! Such a beautiful, beautiful story. They were one!
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹, how are you doing today?
A very Beautiful Couple in True Love.
Very, very sad 🌹
RIP, however just because a loving couple died together, doesn't make them soulmates. I actually don't believe in soulmates, we all were born alone, and everyone of us is a whole being. The belief of soulmates implies that we as a human being is not whole unless we find our soulmates, which is so wrong in my opinion. I've taken care of many elderly people, few were lucky enough to have their partner in their 90s. But the fact is, no matter how in l ok be they were or how long their relationship was, once a partner became disable, having to chronic illness, especially the one that renders them from communicating properly, or if one dies, most of the time you will find the surviving partner don't take that long to move on. Easy to say a couple are soulmates when they are young or healthy, how about when they are older or fell ill? Is it really romantic love or empathy/sympathy? Or friendship? Love is rarely eternal or unconditional, and more common in parents-children relationship. Of course this is only my opinion.
Correction: no matter how in love they were
I can’t imagine. It’s just another reminder to hug ur loved ones and tell them how much u love them all. And if there are some u haven’t talked to or have an argument with them, let it go, or let them know u might be upset and hurt but the love is and always will be there. As someone who has lost a loved one young and suddenly, a couple times, don’t let time disappear.
I remember watching her tribute performance for Sergei with my parents as a teenager - we were all bawling - it was beautiful.
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹.. how are you doing today and your weather condition like?
She skated to "Smile" by Charlie Chaplin. It was so moving. I couldn't stop crying 😢
I did too.
My tears just kept flowing. 😢
Sergei
I read her book called ‘My Sergei’ and I cried for her love story. I’m so glad she remarried and moved on with more children.
Me too. 🥺
I also came across them in the book it's how I got to fs
That had to have been the hardest thing ever to do
I think she divorced in 2016?
@elianad2083 yes but Sergie was her true love
Why is it always the ones that are truly in love whose stories get cut short 😢
Not always, things like that happen every day anywhere in the world...
I cried so much when I found out Sergei died. They were such a beautiful couple both on and off the ice! I haven't seen a pair who could compete with their passion and talent. They were and still are the best, IMO❤️
In
Yes the best couple ❤
Truly Real Swa*N lake 🦢🦢 👫
I agree completely. I haven’t watched pairs skating since.
How did he die?
I remember the routine she skated the first time by herself. It was truly heartbreaking. The way she she cried, then hugged her mom in law, then brought her daughter to the ice.. it tugged at your strings.
Omg, she looked so lonely on ice. Life can be so cruel.
My father died also from sudden death when he was only 29 years old and I was 5.
My mother was also 28. She decided never to remarry or to have a man in her life. From that day till now we are fighters and everything we did and we have we made with our hands.
She is the bravest woman I know. Because of the stress and hard work she got Ulcerative colitis that turned into Chrons disease, she had dozens of operations and now she is 40kg heavy, and she must go every second or third mont in onother city's hospital for 3-4 weeks so she can have parenterental nutrition because she doesn't have bowels and she needs to to this to the rest of her life. Together we are fighting our battles and I am still the biggesr empath I know. And I am still child in my soul... I guess the strongest ones are the ones who needed to grow up early but they still kept the child within...
I dont know why i felt the need to share this...
...I have my mother eyes and my father smile, on my face they are still together ❤️.
All my love goes to you and your mother. May God help both of you in your life. From Russian sister.
🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼

Sending much love from Southeastern Kentucky, USA 🇺🇸.
I just wached this what a beautiful love story. Its just not clear to me how he died, was there an underlying health problems aside from his back pain? He fell during exercise, i guess i will research the internet.
Such a sad thing to happen, at such a young age. You seem blessed with two beautiful daughter's, that's obviously kept you going. And that love you have still inside you, will never go away, you will always have it, Forever. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾💖
True Love never dies. You might even fall in love again with another, but a piece of your will always belong to that one very special love.
You don't have to feel guilty about it.
You move on, but you never forget.
They were like a real life Romeo and Juliet, a love so pure and yet tragic.
With the gift of experiencing truest love there always comes sacrifice.
What a beautiful story cut short. You could tell the way she looked at him she was in true love. What a great loss, one that a bunch of us will never know. That kind of love is rare, it does not happen all the time. It is a deep bond, one that seems to go beyond what is in a normal marriage. I hope you know that you were given a true gift, even if just for a while.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That was beautifully said 🫶🏼🙏🏼
😢😢
Sergey was her true soul mate.
Sadly it is few and far between that man and wife are so closely connected as they truly have become one.
When one is so blessed to have married their soul mate and then has to face their demise and exit from that oneness it's as if life is over for the spouse.
How does the remaining spouse contend with everyday life? Because you're just part of what once was strength and peace and that oneness, you're completely lost and you must reinvent yourself. It's the hardest task human faces except perhaps loosing a dearly beloved child of your own.
I feel like whenever it does happen, one of them will die young - I see that pattern often.
Their little girl looked exactly like her father. This story was heartbreaking.
She still does look like her dad
Yes, she is a beautiful woman! ❤
ok so 20 something years later I still cry over these two beautiful people and real fairy tale love. I can't believe baby Dasha is so grown. what beautiful girls.
I for one, so remember their love story. I was in my teens then. I'm 46 years old and for me, it's so disheartening to know that you've lost that one person that made such a difference in your life. When Sergei passed away, I prayed often that she would find the strength to go on and I was happy that she did. That performance, in dedication, was well thought out and beautiful. There was no better way for it to be done than the way that she did it. And I'm certain that Sergei loved every minute of it. And he is smiling down on her. I still pray that even after many years of his death that she will continue to live life and live it well. And enjoy it more through the eyes of her daughters and up coming grandchildren.
Me too.I think that he's watching her
Hello
How are you today?🌹🌹🌿
You are so wonderful and kind!🌞💞 I have similar feelings.
May you feel God's blessings all around you! Much love!🎶💛
Did you read her book. I think it is called My Darling Sergio and is worth reading
What was the cause of his death? 🤔
My mother and i were obsessed with watching figure skating. We literally cried when Sergei passed. Our hearts broke for Katia
I remember them… such a sweet couple and so talented. It’s a truly heartbreaking story.
@@drchrisgrayson6415 he was only 28 when he died of a heart attack
My friends husband died the very same way. His back hurt all the time. He was only 36 years old. Had a massive heart attack. All 3 arteries were 100% blocked the 4th one was 90 % blocked. 1 Jan. The new year.
Thank u for this opportunity to see them again. We watched them win and love.
I had never heard about them before, but as soon as I have seen the way they looked each other, I've just seen pure and true love. So beautiful...
Damn! Why such a beautiful story ended up so tragically?
What a handsome guy ❤️ of such a pretty girl.
They were so amazing to watch. The purity, the strength, the deep love. I would watch mesmerized. I go back now and watch videos of them. Still the best ever.
Me too i just knew about them...how strong test for their souls. I can't imagine to lose my true love one ...2 swans are always together ❤️ r.i.p. and brave woman Ekaterina
This is such a tear jerker. I remember when he died. Heartbreaking. But their daughter looks like her father which is a blessing.
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹..how are you doing today and your weather condition like?
They were the most gorgeous couple for me in the ice skating pairs. Look at those visuals and of course the talent! They were so compatible in the ice skating rink, she was petite but passionate and he was tall but very delicate, they really moved as one. Their life together was almost perfect but cut short by the tragedy. It's like a movie with a very sad ending. I can't imagine the pain, to live life without the person you love the most...losing him suddenly at such young age with no proper goodbyes.
I really hope Katya is happy even though life has never been the same without Sergei. It's been 27 years, to think Daria is 30 now.... older than Sergei can be :( It was so long already.
I remember watching them skate together for many years. And then watching her back on the ice was so bittersweet. So glad she is happily married again.
They broke up in 2016. 😔
@@user-oh5uq8kg1l she married David Pelletier in 2020.
@@nogoodname909 I hadn't heard that she married again. Good for her. I wonder if she would have remained married to Sergey had he lived. We would all love to think that they would have stayed married forever, but who knows.
She isn't. They divorced in 2016
A very beautiful love story... and a tragic one. I couldnt stop crying.. Its good they have a daugther... it helped greatly to overcome her loss and pick up the pieces if her life.
She had to. When you have a child, you have to go on. This is heartbreaking.
Couldn't stop crying either, I'm Russian, thank you. Their daughter helped her to go on for sure.

I loved their relationship. It was so sweet. When he died my heart was torn in two. I felt so hurt for their little girl. The book was just a wonderfully heartwarming story.
Hello
How are you today?🌹🌹🌿
I agree... I have the book til this day. 😥
What was the cause of his death? 🤔
He had a heart attack.
I wish they could make a movie or a series of their beautiful love story.❤
That would be a wonderful idea except I fear that current movie makers would muck it up and ruin the beauty and purity of the story. They (current movie makers) are struggling to come up with any new original ideas it seems any more everything g is a remake or part# This would make a wi Sergio story, but it’s innocence might be misconstrued and prob take away from the truth.
There was a movie made from her book. “”My Sergei”. I still have it but it is a VHS tape and I no longer have a VHS player! Maybe it can now be found on a streaming service.
@@ivorypraise58 they made it into a dvd, i have it
I've never cried this much in my life for someone else's love story. Grandma cried like a baby.
I, even now, become so emotional when I think about their truly beautiful story.
RIP Sergei.
Sergei
I see hope in her daughter Dajaa's life. She may be 30 by now. Why did this love story has to end this way? Don't know. Very moving even by watching the pictures.
Me too
Beautiful love story i remember watching them every time they skate on tv they where my favorite couple in figure skating this was a true love story may he rest in peace 🙏 🙏
I remember crying my eyes out during her tribute performance 😢 you could feel her pain leap through the screen , a truly heartbreaking yet beautiful tribute to her love .
Hi how are you doing?
What was the cause of his death? 🤔
@@ard8785 the cause of death is listed as a heart attack
@@MikariMotivation Thanks... got it... so, Sergey and I have the same sickness - that is, enlargement of the heart.. unfortunately for him, he has an uncontrolled, unmonitored hypertension (which exacerbated his angina) while I am on a "normal" 11o/70. So, yeah, I can relate.... 🤔
Thanks, again to you...
(Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭).
I didn’t realize I’d be crying at 3 in the morning 😭 This is a beautiful love story 💕
Ikr..I woke up for a pee at a quarter to 3 and cant sleep without the tv on and just happened upon this and sat here balling till 4 😞 I've never heard of another story as beautiful as this one that was actually real...sure hope Hollywood does a movie for their story
I too am up at 3am watching this video, crying my eyes out. What is this, the bewildering hour?I remember them so well. I love ice skating and G & G were the greatest. They were smooth, elegant, and so beautiful to watch. Their love for each other game through in their classy performances. Heartbreaking.
This was so heartbreaking
I use to figure skate and at the time a few years back I was at the rink here in California and ran into Ekaterina, she coaches here, she is the sweetest and kindest human, and still such a talented skater. There is sadness in her eyes.
Hi how are you doing?
You're among the luckiest to have had met her,i am so far away and can only see her videos, but that's already good enough.
I remember when this happened. It was so heartbreaking. Beautiful couple. I have that sad feeling watching this piece. 😔
They were one of my very first "idols". I remember watching them and wishing that was my life. They were beautiful both on and off the ice.
u can say he died doing what he loved with who he loved and in the irony of that is beautiful because he didn’t die alone
It hurts so bad his ❤️ stopped😭🥺
I remember, I sat and cried during her solo skate, all of our hearts were truly broken.
I’m so glad she and their daughter have a family again❤ Praying Gods blessings for each of them❤️🙏🏻❤️
I remember when this happened. They were my favorite skate team. You could feel the love between them even on the ice. I was so heartbroken for her and for her daughter.
For Dariya probably not...she was too little at that time. She knew Ilya Kulik(the father of Elizabeth, Katyas 2nd daughter) as her father more....
Good people die young it sad
My heart hurts from seeing such a beautiful couple, performing together in sports and competing , it ends short. Her partner of life past away. Leaving a wife and his child. Such beautiful couple. My condolences to the family.
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
He will always be the love of her life always no man can compete that's fact.....
And they were magnificent together on the ice..... Lovely couple....
Just stop! Everyones life go on, so Katyas do.. Now she is happily married to Canadian David Pelletier!
Oh my goodness!!! This is a tragedy!! She had the one true love for such a very short time! Bless her…the silver lining can only be the beautiful family God gave her for comfort. Two amazing daughters to love!
What a beautiful true love story. Could not help crying. I lost my husband at 28 years old, we loved each other dearly 💖.
I’m so sorry, I hope you found love again
I'm so sorry. That had to have been devastating
Meanwhile, Katya is happily married to David Pelletier! Let wish them many happy years!.. 🍀❤️
Their story is the biggest tragedy in figure skating history, so so sad !
The Love they both showed when skating together was so strong/beautiful it never dies he's with her/daughter always until they all meet again 😘❤❤🕯
I remember this day and the world was united in our heartbreak for her. They truly were an amazing couple💜
I loved watching them and was just devastated for Ekaterina and her daughter. Other skaters were affected ,also. Sergei was very likable and well loved ❤
I'm truly sorry for the loss of your husband. I know how you feel I was married to the love of my life until October of 2021. He died from the same thing he had a massive heart attack in the bed beside me and I've never gotten over it. Same thing he was complaining with his back and we both thought it was because my car had bucket seats and he had to ride in it for 2 days. In fact I was rubbing his back when he died. It's only been a year but my soul will never recover. I'm sorry you didn't get as much time with yours I did get 38 wonderful years and for that I'm grateful. I wish you all the best in life my dear, and I will have my prayers with you because I know what you feel
So sorry for your loss sweetheart 😢xx
I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
❤️
They were so flawless and in unison two becoming one on Ice the perfect pair!
I was heartbroken when this happened, I loved watching them skate together.
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
I’ll never forget that day. Always loved them and still do.
Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹, how are you doing today and your weather condition like?
I watched them growing up and winning the Olympics. I loved them, their story, the way they skated. I dreamed of becoming a skater because of them. I loved her tribute skate, I remember watching that as a teen. Beautiful tragic love story.
What a lovely love story. Brought tears.
Ice skating was my favorite sport to watch, especially pairs. Especially Ekaterina and Sergei. I cried for months after he died so tragically
Gosh…I remember her tribute performance - tears all around, they were such a beautiful couple ❤
Hello
How are you today?🌹🌿🌹
Beautiful story ❤️ perfect match... blessed to have your daughter to carry on his wonderful memory
I'm actually inspired to write a book that involves ice-skating with Gordeeva and Grinkov being my main inspiration of the story.
I'd read it asap
Truly one of those heartbreaking moments that makes one wonder why life can be so cruel sometimes.
This love story gripped my heart ❤️ and, yes, I cried a little. I wish the best to her and her family always❣️❣️

@@PumaLyn Totally agree. Their love was unique.
Such a beautiful and sad love story. I lived the next town over from the skating rink they practiced and town they lived in, Simsbury, CT. Our community was crushed when hearing of his passing. The skating rink placed a plaque with Sergei’s name on it on the ground in front of the skating rink.
I'm so sorry for the pain you have endured, and losing your beloved Sergei. You will see him again, in heaven, and nothing will ever be able to seperate you! With much love, respect and God's peace be upon you always. Amen ⛸⛸⛸⛸ from Australia 💞💞💞
She will! But now Katya is happily married to Canadian David Pelletier, also an ex-figure skater! (there are some videos of their show-skating on UA-cam as well)
Dear Katia,
I want to thank you for sharing your life with all of us. Because of your life story the rest of us got to see true love. I have my own life story which partly involves you. I was also a skater but never got the chance to realize my dream. I went on to have a family. My children (5 out of 6 became competitive roller skaters. They were all pretty good, but the one I want to tell you about is my youngest son Joe. He, like you and Sergei had pure hearts. He, like Sergei went home early. Where you come in was that I just happened upon a video of you two skating about a year before we lost our son. I remembered when Sergei passed because I still have a magazine with you and your daughter on the cover. As I started watching more and more of these videos I could see the pure love between the two of you. I also saw your courage and strength to go on without him. Little did I know that I was going to have to be strong too. Now I will tell you a little about Joseph. Joe had a good life but not without struggle. He was born with Down Syndrome. He had open heart surgery at 4 months old. Because of a childhood vaccine he lost his ability to talk. He also became autistic for 3 years. By 6 years of age he was back on track. He started to skate when he was 8 years old. By time he was 13 he had spent many hours at the rink. He would mimic his older brother and sister at their practices. He continued to skate til his 20th birthday. His favorite thing to do was skating. He went every Saturday night. His 20th birthday was on a Friday, so we took him out to dinner (another one of his favorite things to do) and then to the skating rink for a surprise birthday party. He was in his element and oh so happy. Everyone could see how excited he was. It was a great time. Joe being the youngest lived at home with us and with his older brother Dave. The next day we were all working on cutting and stacking wood. Joe was a good worker. That went on for a few hours than we all got tired. My son Dave and I went in the house to rest and my husband went out to the garage to work on a car. Joe had a go cart and wanted to ride. His Dad told him bring it over to the garage and I will fill your tire with air. He told him you can ride for a little while but don't leave the property. In just a short time he was called home to be with our Lord. Like Sergei he did not suffer. I then realized why I had been watching you for a year. I was being prepared. This was a loss like I've never had before. This was a child that was always with us. He was the center of our world. We felt so lost without him. He was one special soul and I had to privilege to be his mother. I know he is safe and happy. It has not been easy but watching you has made me strong. Thank you.
❤
This should be made into a movie. 💗
They were my favorite couple on ice. When I saw her skate her tribute to him, I couldn’t help but cry. They were chemistry on ice❤.
Brings back memories. Such a sad story. I remember when he passed and I remember when she returned to the ice alone.
💔Im so sorry for her and at the same time im proud of her for being a strong woman and to continue living for their daughter❤
Katya has two daughters (the 2nd was born a couple of years after that tragedy...Ilya Kulik was the father)
Oh my goodness...I couldn't hold back my tears...his daughter is so much like him..what handsome man & beautiful couple...wonderful skaters they were like swans
Their story is so beautiful. Life is indeed cruel sometimes. When you thought everything is perfect, something would test it. His life was cut short but at least he left a piece of him. ❤
Life can be so cruel. Blessings to Ekatrina and family. 💛
What a Beautiful Video of Katia and Sergei. Theirs was Truly a Fairytale Love Story that Ended too soon. They will Never be Forgotten. ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
One of the most beautiful love stories ever that ended in such a sad tragedy!!!
IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY WOULD MAKE A PICTURE OF SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY.
I cried while watching this, couldn't help it. He was her one true love. She tried to open heart to love again but it wasn't successful. Not all meet their soulmate in this lifetime, so if you're one of the lucky ones, bet you'd do everything to keep it, even if he/she passes befor you, he/she would be irreplaceable.
I was a child when they skated. My mom and I watched them all the time. They we're the most beautiful and fascinating duo I had ever seen. I remember feeling how much they loved each other. I was devastated for her and their child when he passed. Beautiful They We're............
I read the book My Sergei about 25 years ago and it was such a beautiful yet tragic story and being reminded of how painful it was remained with me for years afterwards. Seeing this made me well up with such sadness.
I can't believe it's been almost 30 yrs. This beautiful love story tugs my heart in every way 💖

You should watch the documentary My Sergei. It tells their whole story. You might need a box of tissues.
Probably the reason why her 2nd marriage didn't work, because she just couldn't let go of her love for Sergie. Her 2nd husband, knew it, felt it and of course was hurt. Ahh.... TRUE LOVE... a love so deep... something that NEVER DIES. The daughter is a spitting image of her father. Sergie was her only true love. May his soul rest in peace.

Soon as the video started I could tell I'd have a hard time to hold back tears... damn... the love they shared oozed and poured out of them as they skated, danced, walked, hell stood still... how tragic... and the comeback performance, the pain and hurt and grief and anger and despair and loss and everything one could feel and see on her face and in her movements... 😭😭😭💜💜💜👏🏾👏🏾 their daughter looks so much like him wow!

So shocked when the news was released to the media that he had died. Skating fans were totally stunned that a man in his prime would be taken down so quickly by sudden heart problems. Saw Ekaterina at one of her first solo appearances. It was bittersweet to watch her skate solo.
How tragic! Their daughter is definitely a mini-me of Sergey!!! Both her daughters are beautiful!!!!
I remember them. I remember that you could see their love for each other when they skated. It was beautiful. I remember his death. I cried watching her first solo. She did that so beautifully.

I remember this very well. It was absolutely heartbreaking. I loved them as a couple and on the ice they were one. I watched her on the ice for that 1st performance after his death and cried my eyes out. I can’t imagine how hard that was for her. Thank you for this video, I have often wondered about her.
1890s? I think you mean 1980s. I remember when this happened. It was tragic. Sergei was young and seemed perfectly healthy. I felt so bad for Ekaterina.
Same! I was like it can’t be in the 1890’s!!! They must have reversed the numbers!

Heart braking but beautiful love story betwn these two beautiful skaters.
I got interested in figure skating after watching a video performance of these two. I was struck with how beautiful they looked on ice. There was something so magical and surreal when they skated. The synchronicity, beautiful lines, powerful yet seemingly effortless execution...oh just perfection. I fell instantly in love with this superb couple. ❤❤❤
They were perfect on and off the ice... They were born for each other, the best pair skating couple ever... Sergey gone too soon, but never forgotten 💔
I remember all of this. We were devastated for this young couple. And I can still feel the sadness.
Bellissima storia d'amore ❤ devastante
I can remember this day my mom and I was bawling our.heart out for this beautiful couple...

🙋It has been so long ago that I read the book I can't remember. I cried as I read it. It's called " My Sergei A Love Story". It was so well written. The cause may be mentioned on Wikipedia. I find that website very helpful when I need info on people.
Have a blessed day.☺
@@mamapoppins7422 Thank you. It explains it on Wikipedia. Tragic. What a loss.

Beautiful video, thank you. No other skaters will ever compare. He is proof the good die young.
