Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - 1988 Winter Games, Pairs' Short Program - Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov of the Soviet Union placed 1st after this phase.
Этот маленький воробушек с озорным хвостиком ничего не боялась, так как знала, что сильные руки любимого не дадут ей упасть и всегда поймают. Их катание-фантастика, космос, каждая программа шедевр, а костюмы какие всегда оригинальные. Забыть невозможно.
In katia's book, this is the part where she said they made a little mistake on this program. At their end pose, they were facing the audience instead of the judges. They lost track because of the combination spin. But she and Sergei were the only ones who knew about it and they just laughed right after. So cute😆😍❤️
Let us also give credit to the camera crew! This Olympics, from a visual point of view was one of the best. Just look at 1:24, it’s a thrilling view which allows you to appreciate the speed, the amazing flow. G&G where known back then for their frightening speed. And the cameras in Calgary captured it beautifully. Clearly they were working with a veteran crew.
Nie mogę przestać tego oglądać!! mimo że minęło wiele lat od tego występu. Mistrzostwo najwyższego lotu pod każdym względem w wykonaniu tej pary. Brawo💞
Что они творили на льду это восторг и космос, такого больше не было. Жаль, что так мало мы наслаждались их шедеврами, Сергею покоя на небесах, мы его помним и любим бесконечно.

I always wondered if it was because the Soviets wanted to keep it under wraps. But then again he passed physicals in America and even they didn't see it. Or maybe he probably didn't tell them about his family's history of heart problems.
Они всегда катались втроем:Катя, Сергей и их любовь, невозможно забыть, как они смотрели друг на друга. Как много Сергей успел сделать за свою короткую жизнь, в которой была неземная любовь, а Катя подарила ему доченьку Дашу, с такой же как у Сергея улыбкой. Она лучшая память о нем.
To me they were #1 n still are! They were the best of the best!! It so sad that he had to past away! They were truely in love. They will always be my favorite pairs!! Beautiful performance I remember watching this. I knew they were going to win n become famous!!
Самый красивый номер в мире фк, они такие красивые,каждое их движение отточено до точности! Красота-аа! Смотрю и настроение поднимается, заряд энергии на весь день готов! Вот так надо танцевать! Заряд бодрости и энергии подарили! Спасибо за это милые Катя и Серёжа!
Is it just me or the kind of death spiral they did back in the day are SOOOO much prettier than the ones we see today?? (The forward ones are pretty much the same.. but the backward ones are.... wow.)
As much as I love this performance those costumes were wearing them. I'll bet the sequins weighed more than she did. This is probably the greatest unison you will ever see.
Holy moly, where’d they dig that interpreter up? He says ‘what did he say?’ And she interprets it as, ‘no, I’m not happy with my performance.’ How embarrassing.
actually, the interpreter heard the question and asked katia. katia shakes her head and mumbles something and then the interpreter responded "SHE says no"
She was WAS unhappy. They came out of the last pair spin at the wrong time and ended the program with their backs to the judges. They were supposed to end facing them. Katia blamed Sergei for losing track and pulling her out of the spin at the wrong time. She was seriously ticked and when Sergei said something to kind of defend himself to the person on the other side of him, she rolled her eyes and shook her head, “No.” Right before the microphone was shoved inner face, she muttered something insulting like “Idiot.” Sergei heard and turned with a hurt exoression on hs face. I love them both and they were under a lot of stress. She was barely 16. I don’t think less of them for a little spat in the kiss and cry. 🙂
The translator totally misinterpreted Sergey's answer. He said: "What did she say?", as the translator never translated the question. And she translated his words as "No, he said he was not happy".
@ebesmom You are right. In fact, it can be seen that the translator had difficulties with understanding Russian: she was trying to move closer to Leonovich or Sergey when they were speaking. She did not understand Sergey's words but was probably shy to ask again.
@oravaskvirel - Thanks for clarifying. I always thought there was something strange about her "not being happy" as well as Sergei "prefering questions after the compulsories" -- It didn't make sense.
I think they were marked low in the 1989 Worlds possibly because they had taken out one of their double axels in the long. Katia was returning from a stress fracture in her foot and Worlds was the first competition for them that season. Also maybe a contributing factor - they had been absent from competition that entire season.
