Their gold-medal winning program to "Carmen" in the 1988 Olympics. The pair is unparalleled in precision and perfection, and will remain so.

  • How old were they here?

  • @carjpie It was 1988, so she was 16 and he was 21, I believe.

  • They were perfect. They still are perfect to me in my eyes. No other pairs can replace the magic and the inspiration behind both Gordeeva and Grinkov's performance. I didn't watch this performance when I had the chance, but it was because I didn't have a good tv and a good computer so I regret missing out of one of the most spectacular televised performance debut ever.

  • they are so in sync with each other!!

  • Younger YouTube viewers have no idea how hard it was to make Dick Button and Peggy Fleming actually gasp in awe during a skating program. He gasps in the long program, she gasps in the short.

  • The ONLY thing wrong with this performance was the judges-

    6.0 all the way

  • this is just incredible. Love them.

  • Just an aside.  The Soviet coach didn't have to be so RUDE to David Santee who was just conducting a typical Kiss & Cry area interview. The USSR Team Leader, if they didn't want "questions" should have clarified that to the press corps in advance. Their wishes would have been respected.

  • Thank you, CoffeeOnIce, for posting. Having taped much of the Calgary events, this Pairs Short had somehow gotten lost and I had recalled how truly spectacular it was. Sergei will always be missed. At least, he gave the world a child and a treasure trove of great performances. Very happy for Katya the she has found marital happiness again with Illia Kulick.

  • Sergei was spinning in a faster speed to catch up with the motion of Katya. Geez. That unison is so fascinating. Btw, the song should be Toreador from Carmen?

  • La mejor pareja en la historia del patinaje, y sus programas cortos, como éste, memorables!!!
