Favourite Olympic Moments
Last week there was some discussion on another blog about favourite Olympic moments. Here is mine:
My favourite Olympic moment was watching Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov complete a flawless free program in Calgary in 1988. I was a very young pairs skater at the time and was overwhelmed by their performance and its perfection. I don’t think I blinked for the entire four-and-a-half minute program. In that moment, I fell in love with figure skating for life.
The incredible performance is worth another look:

Gordeeva/Grinkov are one of the best skating pair in a history.

I have always remembered them as being my absolute favorite. I was almost afraid to watch though, because what if I hadn’t remembered correctly? No fear, because it was even more perfect, beautiful and moving than I remembered.
