okay, so i'm writing this now with tears in my eyes
no, nothing bad happened to me
i was just watching ekaterina gordeeva and sergei grinkov skate together
on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBu7Ex7RiMM
watched a whole lot of their other performances yesterday
(and cried some more)
but this is still my fav
the first one i ever saw
they were the best pairs skaters ever
paired together in 1982 when she was 11 and he 15
were world champions at their first try in 1986
married in 1991
and so in love
and he died in 1995
such a sad story
she has a book called "my sergei: a love story"
it had pictures of them with their daughter, really sad cos it felt more real that way
i was crying when i read the introduction
had to continue at home or the people on the mrt would think i was loony
haha
anyways,
the way they skate makes you really believe that they're in love
such harmony and understanding in their moves
even before i knew they were married that first time i saw them skate,
i was so in love with their apparent love
*sighs*
u really should watch the video on youtube
the song they skate to is perfect for them
and in the last part of the video,
scott hamilton (i think) says:
you see them together on or off the ice,
and all you want is for them to live happily ever after
truer words were never spoken
but alas, he died of a heart attack in his prime at 28
*tear*
now ekaterina (or katia) is married to another skater
former world champion ilia kulik
i've seen him skate before, really masterful and skilled
but when they duet on the ice, it's not the same
not the same harmony
granted, he is a singles skater and so not trained to be a pairs skater
when i first found out that she had re-married,
i felt strangely betrayed
like "how could she forget sergei, blah blah blah"
but if she's happy with a guy 6 years her junior,
then i'm happy for her
and she did look happy and content with her new husband,
and daughters daria (w/ sergei) and elizaveta (w/ ilia)
(though i still stubbornly feel that the pair she made with sergei
was still the most amazing and inspiring pair ever)
just watch the video, and you'll know how i feel
=)
