I don't think we'll ever see their equals in pair skating. They were just so excellent at their craft. Always in sync, amazing artistry, great lines, and a chemistry that can't be beat. Someone said that when they skated they were two hearts beating as one. So poetic and so true.
Skating in general is just not the same anymore. They spend so much time jumping and spinning that the artistry is lost. No one in Sochi could perform to this level of exceptional technic and artistry. G & G will always be the greatest of all time. RIP Sergei.
Bullshit. Tessa virtue and Scott noir are incredible. Mirai Nagasu was the first woman to hit a quadruple axel in the Olympics. Give credit where it’s due.
@@rc4083 they are ice dancers, these guys are pairs skaters. You can’t compare people from 2 different disciplines. Even if you were to, these guys are better, also papidakis and cizeron this year are better than virtue and Moir
Also you can blame isu for all that. If they didn’t make so many requirements in programs and didn’t change the rules so much, we would still see skating like we did in the 90s and before. I mean look at sui and Han, even with all the stupid rules in place they are able to create magic, imagine what they would be able to do if they were skating under the old rules and were actually aloud to express themselves without having to fulfil all the technical requirements
both of them, they glide so perfectly along the ice, they make figure skating seem so simple. It's honestly beautiful and breath taking to see this performance. I'm deeply saddened by the loss of Sergei. Anyways, i adore this video so much, they're the best at pair skating
Best, most beautiful pairs skaters ever. No other pair has matched their artistry. So sad he left us at such a young age. Daria is beautiful and looks just like him.
This is what para-skating is all about. Pure love and sheer beauty. And this heavenly couple are the true ambassadors of heavenly love and heavenly beauty....
I can’t believe I just heard that commentator say “ I have to wonder how good she would be as a singles skater”. A year after this, Sergei was dead!! Just think about how much strength and precision it took for him to lift her and keep her in the air, on those 2 thin blades!! HE WAS A PHENOMENAL SKATER! So is she but together they were UNMATCHED AND STILL ARE TODAY! I’m sorry but Ilia never compared to Sergei. ❤️ these 2!!
I am so grateful for all the high-quality footage of this pair. Imagine not being able to show newer skating fans what they could do, and only try to describe it from memory... Thanks G&G, for sharing your love and your love of skating with all of us. And thanks to Alpscandy, for uploading this video.
Какое совершенство! Сочетание любви, красоты, гармонии, счастья, таланта, мастерства подарили нам вот такие минуты блаженства. Спасибо. Счастья и здоровья Катюше , ее семье и долгая память незабываемому Сергею х
Watching at the time, I forgot to breathe. I just sat with tears pouring down my face. Beauty has that effect on me, and this programme, Reverie, was (and remains) the most beautiful I have ever seen.
Today I can only put one pair into the same category as G & G and they are ice "dancers", not "skaters". (Virtue & Moir from Canada.) Such an epic love story should not have been cut so short! When they looked at each other you could see that they were absolutely in love! So heartbreaking. You are missed, Sergei!
I remember Scott Hamilton saying that if you coach a pair you show your team one of G and G's long programs and say "That's exactly how it's done." Well, all pairs skaters out there, that's exactly how it's done.
What makes their love so one-in-a-million, IMO: Show me a woman in our day &age who has (until death did them apart) only ever kissed "her" man (same goes for all that came after their first kiss,of course ;-) and was perfectly happy with that!! *SIGH*

I get what you mean. Nowadays, it feels mechanical. The magic and art are there anymore as it used to be.
It's so apparent how in love they were with each other, that's what made their skating so magical.

beautiful performance... They are so hypnotizing ! Thank you for saving and posting this video.
Simply magical! There will never be another G&G.

❤️ these 2!!
Romantic perfection achieved in this performance. What a tribute to a man & woman skating as one.
Gosh, I miss watching them. RIP Sergei.
I think that even today they would win!

So sad what happened to him-LIFE is just not fair :(
Perfection
Oh my god, I have tears in my eyes before they do the first step ...
I love all their performances but I have 3 absolute favorites. This one is my second. So beautiful....
The kiss at 1:32 :) How sweet!!
Perfection!

Są tak cudni,że zawsze uśmiecham się kiedy oglądam

...I like how the commentator called them "aristocrats of the para-skating"
Thanks, so much for sharing this with us, Alpscandy. This is especially my favourite!
Thanks for the upload. This looks like their short program.
Que Maravilhoso esse casal !!

He died too young. There will never be another G and G.

Две снежинки! Катеньке привет из России, не забывай нас!!!!!!! Ждём в гсти в Санкт-Петербург!!!!!
Perfect...
I hope Katia doesn't spend as much time watching these old videos as I do...
Son los hermoso que hay
This is so fucking gentle.
i dont understand how the doctors never where able to see he had a heart problem .
danza classica sul ghiaccio. Classic dance on ice
today is the 20th death anniversary of Sergei Grinkov. RIP
What was the song and artist they skated to?
Reverie by Debussy.
well, she did well as singles skater: soviet union discipline payd at last.
I woner if Katia ever looks up these videos...
I saw an interview in which she said she has.
Anyone thinking of Westworld right now?
strange.... the commentator states we'll never know what kind of singles skater she would have been, unfortuntely, we did find out!!!
Yes, he had no way of knowing how sadly prescient that comment would turn out to be :-(
