Drama on ice: a love story of beautiful skaters Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergey Grinkov

Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹, how are you doing today?

[@odetedasilva1322]

A very Beautiful Couple in True Love. Very, very sad 🌹

[@GadisBaliLivesAbroad]

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.

[@GadisBaliLivesAbroad]

Correction: no matter how in love they were

[@tatianagranger2427]

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.

[@to4akoT]

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 ❤️.

This couple is truly unique. Still in tears, I'll write how I know them. November 1991... I switched my T.V. on and... The Nutcracker on ice! I took the video tape I could find and recorded that marvellous performance. I took ballet lessons... My teacher was delighted by the performance. I sought that performance on the net till I found it in 2014. True love and then... How hard and incredibly sad to say goodbye so soon. A beautiful daughter is blessed by their parents love. Sergey and Ekaterina forever and the youngest daughter also skating... Angels in Heaven and Earth. Thank you!

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 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.

Their life together was almost perfect but cut short by the tragedy. It's like a movie with a very sad ending.

Ice skating was my favorite sport to watch, especially pairs. Especially Ekaterina and Sergei. I cried for months after he died so tragically

[@marthacrichard8088]

I remember this like yesterday. Young beautiful couple! So tragic. I cry for her 😢

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.

Thank you, Ekaterina, for sharing your beautiful love story. I cannot feel your pain for losing Sergey at such young age and so suddenly. I do remember you and Sergey’s winning performance very very well at the Olympic game. The two of you looked so beautiful together. Live for you, Sergey and your children. Wishing all of you All the Best.

[@dr.tanakadune7726]

Gosh…I remember her tribute performance - tears all around, they were such a beautiful couple ❤

[@felixhoover48]

Hello How are you today?🌹🌿🌹

[@justanothersmith6012]

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 ❤

[@SusieQZee]

I had four channels to watch when I was a teen and so when the Olympics were in, it’s all I watched. I remember their names, their routines, and their love for each other. I don’t remember this happening. I didn’t search this, as I’m almost sure you didn’t either, but it really makes me grateful for my life and the people in. A sense of nostalgia washed over me watching this.

I cried watching her first performance after Sergey's death..True love lasts forever...

[@LG-lr1up]

Me too, this video made me cry, I'm Russian.

[@PumaLyn]

She fell in love again and remarried.

[@LG-lr1up]

@@PumaLyn I saw yesterday somewhere the they split with her 2nd husband Ilya Kulik, with whom she skated, in 2016.

[@PumaLyn]

@@LG-lr1up That's right. No one can love her the way he did. I'm glad she chose to remain single after the divorce. She's got two beautiful daughters and memories to last a lifetime. She doesn't need another man in her life. ❤️

[@LG-lr1up]

@@PumaLyn Totally agree. Their love was unique.

[@kryptonianpowers]

I'm actually inspired to write a book that involves ice-skating with Gordeeva and Grinkov being my main inspiration of the story.

[@melanyhernandez2437]

I'd read it asap

[@Mamzzzhie_2827]

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.
