The perfect ice partner, but become the poignant love protagonist of the sports world. What happened?
The protagonists of the story are Russia's Godieva and Grimkov.
The Godieva/Grimkov combination (G&G) has won the Winter Olympics twice, the World Figure Skating Championships four times, and the European Figure Skating Championships pair skating championships three times. It has been called "the perfect ice partner in the world".
They are also the idols of the mainland figure skating champion couple: Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo.
What is their story like?
When Godieva was ten years old, she and Greenkov, who was four years older than her, formed a synchronized pair skating pair.
Young people, trained hard, quickly became the dark horses of the ice world. After just three years of training, they rode unparalleled in all kinds of competitions.
When Godieva was fourteen years old, they won the world championship. On Valentine's Day, when she was sixteen, they won their first figure skating gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
On the ice rink, they cooperate tacitly and completely indulge in each other. Graceful lifting, amazing turns and jumps around, no trace of mud and water, every movement is almost perfect.
Two young hearts, secret feelings, feelings quickly warmed up.
The year after winning the Winter Olympics, Godieva gave Greenkov her first kiss.
In 1991, the golden couple held a wedding ceremony in Moscow. And soon had a beautiful little daughter.
From partners, to world champions, to couples, they became a love legend in sports.
But this beautiful love story did not last long.
During an ordinary exercise, Greenkov suddenly suffered a heart attack and fell into Godieva's arms.
Holding his cold hand, Godieva said bitterly: "Is it only in fairy tales that love has a happy ending?"
At the memorial service of her lover, she was the first in her life. Once there was a solo skating performance, or the same music, only this time, only she danced alone, lonely, sad, loving, pouring out.
Never losing her beloved, she used the way of dancing alone on ice to support the ice and snow dreams that the two had promised when they were ten years old.
Just like their love, although the yin and yang are separated, they are unswerving to death!
