Gordeeva and Grinkov, Part Two

What a week for figure skating it's been! Evan Lysacek wins the gold, the Russians get their panties in a wad (in a quad?). Joannie Rochette of Canada loses her mother on Sunday and then skates her best program ever on Tuesday...followed by bursting into tears.

And all this skating has made me so nostalgic about Gordeeva and Grinkov, that I've spent a lot of time watching old clips of them on YouTube and reading about their romance on various web sites.

Between G&G and Joannie, I've cried over a lot of skating this week.

Anyway, I found this wonderful video and had to share it. This was 1994, just one year before Sergei Grinkov passed away. The love and trust between Katia and Sergei is absolutely gorgeous. And the kiss at the end?

*sigh*
