Ich weine auch immer egal wann ich das sehe, obwohl es jetzt schon so lange her ist. Es ist ein riesiger Schmerz und ich finde es sehr professionell von Ekaterina, wie sie das gemeistert hat, aber das bringt ihr ihren Serge leider nie wieder. diese Geschichte, ist gelebt, beginnend mit einer Freundschaft in der sportlichen Laufbahn und dann ist daraus eine Liebe für‘s Leben geworden, irgendwie so wie man es nur aus einem Märchen kennt.❤😢🙏🏽🫶🏽

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.

@@Justbooksmusiccatsandapen Hi. How sweet of your Mother to get you both books, and on Christmas and in your Easter basket. A special memory for you. That shows you and you Mother's respect for Sergei and Katia, on and off the ice. I haven't read "A Letter for Daria" but I hope to in the near future. Thank You for sharing your story with us. Sincerely, Marian ⛸️ 💗

[@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! ❤💔

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!!! 😢

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.

[@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.

[@DaleHercules]

I will never forget them. I loved them so much 😢😢❤❤❤❤

[@Christian_Girl120]

What happened to Sergei was absolutely horrible. I gave her so much credit for having the strength to carry on, taking care of their daughter. It broke my heart, his death. I hope that somehow after all these years she found a measure of peace and comfort. I don't think I would ever be able to get over a love like that. If only he was still with us. He would be so proud of their daughter for how she turned out. God bless both of them.

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.

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.

[@Justbooksmusiccatsandapen]

Wow bitter much? I am 41 Katia and Sergei you're my favorite skaters growing up in addition to Scott Hamilton and Kurt Browning. It is very clear even now that she loved him. Anyone who talks about them still will tell you that. She was young and yes she always had him to lean on she never took him for granted. I can't imagine losing my best friend, my skating partner, husband and father of my daughter. That is a lot to lose in one go and that completely life changing and life-altering by any standards. I think people take for granted how long they think they have with somebody.. we all do that? How often have you put off calling your parents, calling your siblings, calling your best friends, calling your children? Thinking oh there's always tomorrow or next week. My mother died a decade ago we did not have a good relationship the majority of my life. Loved her but she was very strict and traditional and remained that way for her entire life. But I called her every single week never missed and moved out at 18 For 5 years before my oldest nephew was born she wouldn't even talk to me but I still every single to holiday regardless of what she thought of me. And that says a lot on my part. Point being here is most people would have not done what I did. But I'm a better person because of it. And having a disability trust me you learn very early on to take nothing for granted. As a skater she has been privileged to have a life that she has and when she speaks about it you hear it. I also begged my mom for both books she had written. I got my Sergei. for Christmas. And a letter to Daria for Easter as they were published I still them despite having a house fire and losing everything they remained at my mother's. Perhaps you should read them if you haven't or read it again.
