Sergei Grinkov - In Loving Memory

Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov were different from all the other pairs skaters. They had their own unique magic on the ice, and their love for each other was obvious to anyone who saw them skate. They began skating when Ekaterina--Katia to her friends--was just 11 and Sergei was 15. Through the years they won many competitions and the hearts of all who watched. They fell in love, married in 1991, and had a baby girl in 1992. They won gold medals in the 1988 and 1994 Olympics. They were living a fairytale. But all their happiness came to an end in 1995 when Sergei collapsed during a routine training session. He died at the hospital, leaving behind his young wife and 3-year-old daughter. He was only 28. When Sergei's heart stopped in 1995, it left a hole in the hearts of family, fans, friends, and the figure skating community.
