1996 Dateline NBC Pair of Hearts Gordeeva and Grinkov

[@MsPsychedelia]

"She unlaced and removed his skates" I can't put into words how much that sentence hurt my soul.

[@jeannebosse7137]

I will always remember Sergei Grinkov. 💔🌹

[@katiem6773]

Such a beautiful skating pair. I'd loved watching them skate. Remembering Sergei always ❤

[@oopsydoopsy1939]

Thank you, Sergei. Thank you. We all miss you ❤

[@karencollins2661]

I loved Sergei and Kat They were the best. My heart broke when he died.

[@julierowe1732]

It was truly a dark day. An immeasurable loss for figure skating and the world. Next year, it will be 30 years. No one who loved skating then will forget that day, reading that headline, or Katia & Sergey. They are legends forever, still unmatched.

[@Cassie-pt7mt]

They were perfection. On and Off the Ice.

[@marianlizamientus3139]

Heartbreaking beyond words. 💔 I'm so grateful we have pictures of Sergei, KZbin videos of their skating, and Katia's book, "My Sergei." Young people who didn't know him can learn about him.

[@barbarawashington4664]

So very sad! Hurts to see them then and it hurts to see her today without him! When I see her I think of him always! She has remarried twice and still when I see her I think of Sergei. Poor Sergei deserved to have a long life- such a down to earth person! Such a handsome man, every woman should have a Sergei in her life!!! 😢

[@mariebelsanti4677]

When he died my heart broke. My husband and I flew to see the tribute to Sergei in Hartford. What an amazing night. I still cry. 💔

[@sallydaniel1023]

Daria looks just like her dad

[@remysimon6819]

Thank you for this wonderful video Sergei is terribly missed🙏🙏🙏✝️

[@Smalls3854]

I remember when this happened. They were already my favorite pairs, I even rooted for them at the Olympics, against our own US team! For me, they had a magic that I just haven't seen duplicated! Her book, My Sergei, was both wonderful and sad. It just leaves you heartbroken, thinking of all that magic disappearing! They will always remain special! ❤💔

[@tatianalucero-barahona8704]

I remember seeing this interview as it was yesterday. I watched Gordeeva and Grinkov for years. Their speed and technique were so perfect. Their blades were so quiet. Their programmes so beautiful and elegant, always looking at each others eyes. They were so admired and loved. We all felt the loss in those days and months. And in gorgeous Daria, a piece of Sergei remains. I see her now and I see Sergei in her smile. It still seems like yesterday but it's been 27 years already.

[@Peace2023a]

I remember when this happened. 💔They were an amazing duo on the ice.

[@Timbergal]

They had to be in Love, to skat like they skated..it would have been impossible otherwise. He was such a beautiful man, there will never be another like him. To her, he was her First everything in everyway❤.

[@erikpeterson25]

Perfection together ❤

[@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780]

À true love story pure magic

[@rebeccamakin9368]

Fancy asking her if she wanted a new partner just after they won the gold medal together… How crazy… Beautiful story, though, and sad ending😢

[@ukmary1968]

Very rude

[@kristinewood7030]

I remember her as this tiny little woman. Both were beautiful skaters

I have never seen this interview before! Thank you for finding and sharing.

[@sallycampbell5438]

Utterly tragic

[@Raquel-op6xo]

You just can't get away from this.

[@southernlady5085]

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.

[@analuisaandrade5433]

Love them

[@ukmary1968]

Incredibly sad. They were perfection

[@cherub728]

❤❤❤😢😢

[@kittygirl_thetortie498]

Katia has such stunning facial features. Delicate and perfectly symmetrical which is very typical for russian and ukranian women. Im not a fan of twilight but sergei and katia remind me of edward and bella... Maybe its their height difference and physical attributes. Sergei was definitely stunning though. He didnt have the typical slavic face that many russian and ukranian men have. Putin have that slavic face. For reference, i studied and lived in crimea ukraine for 7 years.

[@moniquelegarda1842]

They certainly didn't do too badly with the DNA jackpot. What a stunning pair.

[@Teeks934]

Omg Daria is now older than her Dad was😢😢

[@Irinasky]

Для американских и заподноевропейских зрителей деньги на первом месте.Русские не так много думают о деньгах.Катя стала вдовой в 24 года ,сама ещё девочка, а уже вдова с ребёнком.Если спустя 30 лет эта история все ещё вызывает интерес и сопереживание у людей.То это очень хорошо,значит мы не очерствели сердцем ,мы ещё люди.

[@jarmilaneubauerova6799]

Jsem z České republiky a dlouho sleduji jejich videa, znám ten velmi smutný příběh, byla to velká něžná láska. Jsou to oba moc příjemní a krásní lidé. Je mně velmi líto, že se to stalo, mám slzy v očích. Jekaterina má Sergeje stále v srdci, byla velmi dlouhou dobu nešťastná.

[@marirothbauer5407]

He passed on November 20 1995 so the interview was possibly 1996. ❤

[@svetlgork2366]

Мне очень жаль сергея и дашу. Мне кажеичя, судя по инстаграмму, у нее дела не очень. Хочу ошибаться. Желаю ей всего хорошего.

[@tarolyatarolya1230]

Чем плохи её дела? У неё все отлично, по моему. Вышла замуж в третий раз за очередного олимпийского чемпиона, подбирает их по статусу видимо)) Она в отличной форме, до сих пор участвует в шоу и различных проектах. Богата, успешна, востребована. Две взрослые дочери, умницы, красавицы. Конечно, она дорого продала Америке смерть Сергея, срубила на этом все плюшки. Конечно ей надо было дочь растить одной в чужой стране. А Сережу действительно жаль. Не зря сережина мама обвиняла её в несчастье, именно Катя настаивала на участии в длительном шоу, несмотря на плохое самочуствие Сергея, хотела заработать все деньги, доллары застилали глаза и туманили разум. Да, Катя была не проста, и про неё многие говорили, что она с детства очень рассчетлива. А еще, у Сергея на тот момент была интрижка с Майей Усовой и Катя очень злилась. Возможно еще поэтому она не придавала значения сережиному здоровью. А Серега был добрый, добродушный пофигист.

[@moniquelegarda1842]

@@tarolyatarolya1230 I think @svetlgork2399 is referring to Dasha, not Katia.

Я про Дашу, а не про Катю!​@@tarolyatarolya1230

[@marija004]

​@@tarolyatarolya1230 I keep thinking I've seen all the ugliness in the world and then I see a comment like yours from such a disgusting pathetic person. It's funny how most of you gossiping about Katia act like you know more about Sergei than she does. You have to come down to earth, you didn't know Sergei or her, so don't talk nonsense. You didn't live with them when Sergei was alive, nor after he died, so don't spread misinformation about people you don't even know.

[@Chrisoula17]

I remember when he died. He just suddenly dropped dead. It turned out he had a genetic mutation that made his blood clot. I hope it’s not hereditary and Katia gets Daria tested. Their story is heartbreaking! I read Katia’s book “My Sergei”.

Oh god he did everything for her. Did she appreciate it or did she take it for granted?

[@yankeegirl3380]

How dare you ask that question???? She didn't take it for granted. She loved and cherished that man with all her heart.

[@cherub728]

That was the most heartless question I have ever seen!! You should be ashamed for even thining it, let alone posting it. You did not know, or watch them well if you could ask that

[@dkasper3267]

If you read her book, it's evident that she loved him with all her heart.

[@irishgal353]

What a horrendous thing to say!! They had the love of a lifetime…….something we wish we all had a love like that❣️❤️♥️♥️❤️‍🔥🔥🙏🏻😇. You must be a totally heartless, jealous person!
