They fly across the ice! Two strokes and they go from one end to the other. Did this couple have any idea back in 1985 that they would eventually win two Olympic Gold Medals and fall in love, marry, and have a daughter together? Interesting where fate takes you.

[ilovelibertyTYC]

she also said in her book that had her friend Oksana continued skating, she would have never met sergei!

Great skate!

τοσα ξερεις τοσα λες, μια και δεν τους ειδες ποτε στις δοξες τους, να χορευουν οχι στον παγο μα πανω σε μεταξωτα και πουπουλενια συννεφα. φυσικα και δεν ειναι οι μονοι που το πετυχαν, αλλα αυτο δεν τους κανει λιγοτερο θρυλους απο οτι ειναι. αν δεν σου αρεσει το καλλιτεχνικο πατιναζ μην χαραμιζεις την ωρα σου σε αυτα τα βιντεο μονο και μονο για να κακολογης. πανεμορφο και αθανατο ζευγαρι. ευτυχως παντα θα εμφανιζονται τοσο ομορφα ζευγαρια.

Just "another of the rag doll pairs from the Soviet Union." Not quite, honey.

@bookaddict27 No, it isn't. If you watch Jazzy Piano, you'll hear the difference. This is when they were with Zhuk, and an interesting note is that they HATED this program!

[MsNoelle555]

actually, im not sure that it is. if this is 85-86, they were with zhuk. i think the jazzy piano was their 1987 short program. this vid is the same SP they used at 1986 worlds when they were with zhuk.

[bookaddict27]

No. I believe this is the Jazzy Piano routine Marina Zueva choreographed when she came back to work with them.

[StacyOnt]

is this their revolutionary "Gershwin routine" she describes in her book?

Thanks for the video! I had never seen this one.
