Review: My Sergei is a great story that shows that true love is not lost in today's society. Ekaterina and Sergei's story is an amazing one that deserves to be told over and over again. It also shows what remarkable athletes they were.

Summary: A Touching Film
Review: On 20 November 1995, figure skating lost one of its greatest athletes - ever - when Russian pairs skater Sergei Grinkov collapsed and died during a practice in Lake Placid, New York. Now, through re-enactments and footage of his career, Grinkov's memory is brought to life through this touching documentary, "My Sergei".

At age 15 Grinkov was paired with fellow Russian skater, 11-year old Ekaterina Gordeeva. Though the two were different ages and heights (he was about 2 heads taller than she), they became the greatest pairs team in the history of the sport. In 1986, their first year in senior competition, they won the World Championships. Two years later, at ages 16 and 21, they became Olympic gold medalists in Calgary. The world was introduced to, and fell in love with, Gordeeva and Grinkov - G&G.

Two years later the duo turned pro, got married, and won the hearts of fans the world over. Through Stars on Ice, they reached American audiences with their graceful and emotional routines, always consummately performed with style. When they returned to Olympic competition in 1994, there was no doubt that they would win gold again -- and they did. Within two years, however, Sergei was dead, and skating would never be the same.

Told through the eyes of Grinkov's partner and widow, Katia Gordeeva, this documentary is a joyous and touching film, as it reveals the life and loss of one of skating's greatest athletes.
