[@cassiem3893]

Sergei was one of the most gorgeous men to roam the earth. 😍 Ekaterina is so delicate and elegant. This performance is nothing less than pure magic.

[@Brittney086]

So true, I can't stop admiring him every time, really. Him and Katia are the most romantic pairs ❤✨️

[@cassiem3893]

@@Brittney086 Probably because they really were in love. ❤

[@debbietate1423]

So true!

[@sara31773]

Such an amazing pair. She was small and dainty and he was big and strong. She skated like an angel and he skated to make her look exquisite. RIP Sergei.

[@nelitasciretta7101]

He was a brilliant skater and I love watching their videos. The two together were breathtaking and he made it look smooth and easy. He made her look like an angel.

Самая красивая самая профессиональная пара на все времена. Сергею вечная память.

[@runkliixrunkliix5536]

they got paired up when they were still little kids she was just a baby at 11 - my goodness so as the time went on, they pretty much grew up together they would spend hours and hours training together so it is not too suprising that a love started to bloom between them something else that is not too suprising is that most russian couples are married to eachother so this is pretty common. they literally OWNED the ice and yes, they were magical

[@elenavladi1]

Отличная пара! Оба талантливые и красивые! Спасибо за радость, которую вы нам доставили своими успехами и победами! Светлая и вечная память Сергею, он навсегда останется в наших сердцах.

❤️😔Thank you Katia, thank you Sergei for the gift of life you both have shared to the world with your performances together which I shall always come to watch time and time again to remember and to feel the endearment and beauty you have brought in all your performances that will forever be in our hearts to keep that includes the pain and sorrow brought by Sergei's passing too soon. We just feel consolation with just yet one other gift with the birth of Daria who looks so much like him who Katia said ... he never left because she always sees him in Daria...

G&G were the best in the World: absolute perfection! RIP Sergei.

Waiting on scores, Sergei eyeing the dude putting his hand on Ekaterina's back, while she's polite but ignoring the dude. Sergei & Ekaterina really had something special.

[@karennoble4957]

Great ice skaters. Also good taste in costumes, great chemistry too.

The far and very few between times we actually get to hear Sergei talk, and know what he sounded like when he did so. If only he'd have been comfortable speaking English, that's all.

[@Timbergal]

I was there..great memories

[@user-jh5dr1bc7h]

Very sad what happened my love goes out to his friends and family RIP.

That was a very nice touch to see and hear from G &G. It was even more special to see and hear from their parents and hear their messages to their parents and back. Very rare to see.

This is the first time I heard Katia speaking in Russian.

[@eleonorrojas2057]

En el minuto 4:16 Sergei estaba preocupado mirando Ekaterina por lo que el instructor tenía su atención hacia ella y en el minuto 4:26 no pudo disimular la molestia que le causó tanta atención del representante o manager hacia EKATERINA. SERGEI YA NO AGUANTO MAS SU AMOR POR EKATERINA QUE LE CONFESO LO QUE SENTIA POR ELLA..EN ESE ENTONCES.

[@ambarambar1519]

Si verdad

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

Her father is quite arrogant towards katia that's why she loves the way segie treats her.poor sergie not a mention from katia father but at least his mum is proud of them uk

Sergei was first paired with gordeeva, when he was 14.

[@eleonorrojas2057]

Jajaja

[@scook5599]

I may be the only person to feel this way, but the music did not suit their style.

[@LLos4838]

Боже, какие же они красивые!!!! Не говоря уже о таланте и огроном труде с раннего детства

[@user-ix6yh7fw3e]

Бедные дети

[@uga8487]

Чего ради они "бедные"? Жили-не тужили, не знали ни забот, ни хлопот, о них полностью заботилось государство. Стали мировыми лидерами и любимцами, выиграли все чемпионские титулы, а потом свалили в США. Дай бог каждому быть таким "бедным". А то что Гриньков рано умер, так у него наследственность по отцу плохая была.

[@user-gy8ep3zl8k]

Светлая память Сергею!

He is so handsome, and she is just besutiful. Stunning coupe.

[@clbell80]

Her parents Aleksandr and Elena Lvovna are the cutest!!

[@JackAShepherd]

That is a high, high waist on those pants! I wonder if this’s where Seinfeld’s Puffy Shirt concept came from. Pairs is so so so much bigger now then in was back then, but there’s such little synchronicity... It often feels like two singles skaters where the bloke occasionally throws the woman... Though the pairs teams who’ve recently commissioned ice dancers to choreograph (e.g., Savchenko & Massot, James & Cipres) are bringing something new and special to the field.

[@oravaskvirel]

They gave a crazy name for Sergey's mother! Why on earth "Lydia Fyedoseeva", she was "Anna Grinkova"!

[@robinibershoff8811]

oravaskvirel it seemed to me that the announcers were trying to stir up shit. I don't know what Katia's father said at the end, but they didn't translate. Maybe it's best they didn't.

[@elizabethpease947]

oravaskvirel : Yes, and Katia’s father should have been listed as ‘Alexander Gordeev.’

[@ravenel2]

That name sounds familiar though. I think Lydia Fedoseeva was her maternal grandmother who lived with them. She was probably in the room with them but they messed up and put her name over Anna instead.
