They held hands from the time they were kids. He was strong and powerful and yet the most graceful man i have ever seen on the ice and together they were magical. There will never be a pair like this one. And he will never be forgotten.
Piękna para, magiczna . Uwielbiałam i nadal lubię oglądać ich występy.Tak dopasowane osoby rzadko się spotyka.Dorastali i dojrzewali przy sobie .Trudno pogodzić się z jego śmiercią pomimo upływu lat.Miał tyle jeszcze do zrobienia .Wiele wspaniałych występów na lodzie .Niestety idealni ludzie żyją krótko.Dobrze że mamy możliwość i oglądać ich występy sprzed lat.😮
I love Sergei’s big smile as Katia tells Scot how they met, became Closer and closer until they fell in love and decided to get married. Then Scot says it was perfect and Katia says that nothing is ever perfect but Sergei’s smile shows that for him Katia was perfect. He was crazy about her. How could he not be? Sergei told a friend he didn’t like skating. When asked why he did it he answered “ because that’s what I do” I think he skated only for Katia
This aired a few weeks after he died-I had the VCR all set up to record it. It seems like every song they ever skated to was part of a big cosmic love story, and this took away some of the horror of their final skate to Verdi’s Requiem. This was filmed before that happened, but it aired on TV after, so their final final skate was really “If I never knew you, if I never felt this love, I would have no inkling of how precious life can be.” Perfect. I cried when he moved away and she was reaching for him.
They look so beautiful. I read My Sergei and i didn't know anything about him until that book. I just knew about Katia from Beauty and the Beast A Concert on Ice. It's sad what happened. I love seeing her skate and seeing them both skate. Saw her skate but never saw him skate. So, thanks to youtube, i can see them both skate.
Thank you so much for posting this. What a beautiful memory of Katia and Sergei's last performance. How ironic are the last two lines of this song: "If I'd never known you, If I'd never felt this love" G&G were the epitome of love.:)
I know, right? this was the first performance of theirs that i ever saw... i was about 12 years old... he'd been dead for at least 4 years... but I fell in love with him!lol their love was a beautiful story and i tear up every time i think about what they could have been... he was gone way too soon.
I was shocked to learn that Sergei died at a young age; such a talented pair of ice skaters! You can tell that Scott Hamilton was on the verge of tears as he said this last performance was dedicated to his memory. We'll never forget you, Sergei...
I'm sure Katya is very light... but man, Sergei was so strong! He could hold her in the hardest positions! Like that las one... the really did had the poise of a Prince...
Iam from PhilippinesI just saw this two stars last month 2024. And not knowing this 26 years ago and when i kbew iwas sad and cried and two weeks i always watching every event of their life in ice iwas so touched and still whant to follow Dara im so in love with this story of GnG
How strange was it that he was headed to the other side of a river, watching her skate by herself, watching over her like a spirit. That never happened before and it still gives me chills.
NADA ES POR SI ACASO. TODO LO QUE ESTABABPASANDO EN EL BAILE LAS CANCIONES , APUNTABA QUE SERGEI CRUZARIA ESE RIO, QUE NADIE PUEDE VOLVER. EL RIO DE LA ETERNIDAD.
Oh God! *wipes away tears* That was sooo tragically beautiful! This performance will haunt me always. So breathtaking, and so full of love, and devotion. One of their best performances! Thank you for posting this! :D
They asked the stars to reenact their favorite fairy tales. Never a darker beauty than to have this be their last televised performance, the routine the spelled out what the next weeks would entail. That beautiful love will continue, as they said, she will continue on, even though a part of her went with him. Like Pocahontas watching her love leave on that ship, she watched her partner, her husband, go on to heaven, where he awaits her and her daughter. What a way to go Sergei, what memories you left. May we all one day feel the love you and Ekaterina felt for each other.
One man once compared Shakespeare to the couple, "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." Ekaterina embodied this statement as she overcame and loved again
this is such a heartbreaking performance. on a comic note though, i remember katia saying she dreaded riding on the horse the most coz the horse might just kick her off or something, and come to think of it, there are lots of funny vids of people being kicked off their horses just out of the blue. but on actual performance, katia just smiles as if she's been riding horses all her life.
How long after this performance did he passed away? I was under the impression that his last performance was when they performed the Requiem a week before his death.
They filmed this for Disney maybe in September 1995, they skated Verdi’s Requiem maybe November 12 or thereabouts, he died November 20, and Disney hadn’t even aired this yet. So they had to air it in December 1995 with Scott explaining Sergei’s death, and the commercials leading up to it said something like, “the last television appearance of Ekaterina Gordeeva and the late Sergei Grinkov.”
How did they keep the ice surface not melting when the surrounding was of a much warmer climate ? A pity the quality of the upload is not good enough for us to see the performance clearly.
I think it was somewhere in the mountains of Colorado in September. I was in the Alps once in midsummer where the tour group was in summer clothes but there was snow on the ground, high up in the mountains.
@@toxic-low-key-ghost7934 you are really obsessed with hating on katia ig,ove watched A LOT of videos of these 2 and everytime i found your comments shaming Katia,why are u so obsessed?just let the woman live

Beautifully said, and I agree with what you said about Sergei. Such a unique skater. Beautiful, beautiful man.

😭😭😭😭 Noooo. That line you quoted. Heartbreaking.
Well, it is interracial and therefore immoral and sinful.
Besides, he never loved her.

We'll never forget you, Sergei...

May the Lord bless his pure beautiful soul R.I.P Sergei Grinkov xxx
Мужчина неземной красоты
Still makes me cry to see them skate together. The love between them was precious.
I'm sure Katya is very light... but man, Sergei was so strong! He could hold her in the hardest positions! Like that las one... the really did had the poise of a Prince...
Qué magia tan extraordinaria tenían estos dos ??????? Aparte le ponemos el gran amor que se tenían❤ diario versus actuaciones y me parece increíble
Just magical...can't watch it without crying....Eta bila samaya lutshaya para figuristov, hands down!
the last part of this video i got teary eyed how she held sergei on 7:37 the last time she ever held him that close :,,,,(

It's such a shame of what happened to Sergei. Their performance for this show was absolutely amazing and beautiful.
Aww. It's prettyful.
WOW :( i love it
Two people gave this a thumbs down? What fools.

@@ravenel2 Interesting. Wish I could be there.
John Smith who? I only know Sergei 😩
у него уже были проблемы со спиной, он ногу не чувствовал, согласно ее книге. зачем же они приняли участие в этой съемке?
Money, Sergei said multiple times that he was tired of figure skating but Katia insisted they go on
@@toxic-low-key-ghost7934 you are really obsessed with hating on katia ig,ove watched A LOT of videos of these 2 and everytime i found your comments shaming Katia,why are u so obsessed?just let the woman live
They had a contract with Disney that they had to honor.

@@ayaorche7477 Because she doesn't have her own life,so she lives Katya's life.
So painful to watch!
