These two were perfection on ice. I remember seeing them for the first time in the 88 Winter Olympics. They were teenagers and so was I. And I was thrilled to see other teens doing incredible things at that time. Marina Zueva created magic with them and it was just breathtaking to watch. It was tragic and heartbreaking for Sergei to die so suddenly. But G&G will forever be one of my favorite pairs skaters and the gold standard to follow.

I feel the word perfect isn't enough to describe this beautiful couple. They were the true definition of soul mates. They were two kids who started a professional relationship, then, a friendship, and then, a romantic relationship. She married her best friend and he married his best friend. And together, their love made another human being..their beautiful daughter, Daria. And tragically, it was taken away. All these years later, it still breaks my heart. But I'm happy that Katia found the strength to continue and go on. God bless.

Yes he is so graceful despite being so tall. Impeccable. I was watching their older performances when she was just 16 and I could see he was even more delicate and gentle with her when she was younger. Which was so refreshing, almost seemed to follow her lead and give her space, very respectfully. Then later on after marriage I could see he got more comfortable with her, almost had a better grip on her, not rough by any means but more firm and confident with his touch with her. I adore.

I always watch the male partner during the throw. Sergei always skated through the throw, as if Ekaterina weighed nothing. He made it look so effortless and natural. Most male pairs skaters come to a dead stop and heave their partner with obviously great exertion. So often, it looks as if the girl weighs a ton and he's using every ounce of his strength to chuck her across the ice. But, not Sergei. Sergei was the quiet one in G&G. He allowed us to focus all of our attention on Ekaterina, because he was a great partner. In my opinion, Sergei is still the best male pair skater ever. And I don't see that changing any time soon. It'll take someone spectacular just to be mentioned in the same paragraph as Sergei.

Other pair skaters are over-choreographed with too much unnecessary movements that you're left wondering if what you're watching is an acrobatics at circus or figure skating. Yes, it's not east what they do. I commend their skills but Sergei and Ekaterina were just so unique in that they were like poetry on ice. They floated rather than skated. It's amazing how they make it so seamless and soft and effortless. Each one of the shadow of the other. The connection is there that even you, as an audience, feel it. Sergei was a gentle giant who'd hold and lift his wife as if she's a crystal glass that's so delicate. Aah it's just so beautiful!

I once heard someone refer to figure skating at the 1994 Olympics as the Olympics where they got every gold medal wrong. I have to agree. I'm a huge G&G fan and was rooting for them back then, but after reviewing their performance here and that of Mishketunik and Dimitriev, I believe M&D should have won because of Sergei's problems in his performance. Although I prefer G&G's style, M&D skated clean.
