Profiles - The Ekaterina Gordeeva & Sergei Grinkov Corner Finding love again with Olympic Champion, ilia kulik, and welcoming Katia and iliawork together whenever possible and inspiration to many, on and off the ice. http://www.gg-corner.de/profiles.htm
Extractions: Many thanks to Vicki Bennett for writing the profiles. Full name: Ekaterina Alexandrovna Gordeeva Nick name: Katia, Katya, Katuuh, Katoosha Born: May 28, 1971 (Gemini) Place of birth: Moscow, Russia Significant other: - married Sergei Grinkov on April 20, 1991 (state wedding), the church wedding was on April 28, 1991 in Moscow (4 years younger) Height: approx. 1,56 metres (5"21) Weight approx. 40 - 45 kilo (90 lbs) Hair colour: brown Eye colour: blue-grey The story of two- time Gold medalist, Ekaterina Gordeeva, is an example of strength, endurance, and hope. With a celebrated career in the world of pairs figure skating, she and Sergei Grinkov mesmerized audiences with their classic romantic style. Partners on and off of the ice, Gordeeva tragically became a widow and single mother at the tender age of twenty-four. With courage and support from the skating community and fans, she returned to the ice to become an award winning singles skater, Stars On Ice performer, and author of two books. The daughter of Alexander Alexeyevich Gordeev (Folk Dancer) and Elena Levovna Gordeeva (TASS News Agency), she began skating with the Central Red Army Club in Moscow, Russia at the age of four. Despite her father's hopes that she and younger sister, Maria, would dance with the Bolshoi Ballet Company she instead showed great skating talent. Having problems with her jumps, however, a coach teamed her with fifteen year old Sergei Grinkov in 1982 feeling they would both excel in pairs skating. Together, they were a love story on ice, winning the 1988 and 1994 Winter Olympics and four World Championships. A favorite of the Stars On Ice cast, they enjoyed a successful professional career as well.

CNN/SI - Ilia Kulik Russia s ilia kulik, 20, also happens to be the most complete for the gold medalin Nagano, a skater whose mix flair makes him the hottest young star on ice. http://www.cnnsi.com/olympics/events/1998/nagano/medals/predictions/figureskate.
Extractions: Posted: Wed February 4, 1998 He's the Leonardo DiCaprio of figure skating, an apple-cheeked heartthrob with mischief in his eyes and trampoline springs in his legs. Russia's Ilia Kulik, 20, also happens to be the most complete package among the men vying for the gold medal in Nagano, a skater whose mix of classical ballet training, out-of-your-seat athleticism and theatrical flair makes him the hottest young star on ice. MANNY MILLAN Kulik, who was born in Moscow, has been turning heads since winning the world junior championship in 1995. Tall for a figure skater at nearly six feet, he combines the long, clean lines of 1988 Olympic gold medalist Brian Boitano with the speed and natural pizzazz of four-time world champion Kurt Browning. At the world championships in Edmonton in '96, Kulik's first year as a senior, he wowed the judges with the height of his jumps and his impeccable landing positions—free leg held high, toe pointed, arms extended, back straight, head up. He finished a strong second—three of the nine judges placed him first—to Todd Eldredge of the U.S., after which Boitano commented, "He jumps like a god."
Extractions: Interview by LISA Lisa:How did you learn so much about ice skating and the Russian language? Mary:I've been a fan of figure skating since I was five. That's about twenty-six years now. I was also a roller figure skater in my youth. There is a great deal of cross-over (pun intended) from one sport to another. I've studied Russian a little bit, enough to know the alphabet and some foibles of the language. I had a friend in Murmanska, Russia that I used to chat with on ICQ. He helped mostly with cultural issues. Most of the actual Russian words are thanks to a Professor of Slavic Languages at Vanderbilt University. He did the translations for me, including the naughty ones. Lisa:Have you ever been to the Olympics? If you have, what was it like? Mary:I've never been to the Olympics. I have been to Skate America (the US's big international competition) and I've been back stage twice at Champions on Ice the summer after the 98 Olympics. I've met and hounded for autographs (No, I am not a "mental fan") the most famous skaters of today: Michelle Kwan, Tara Lipinski, Ilia Kulik and Todd Eldrege (and a bunch of others). Lisa:Are the characters based on people that you know?

Extractions: Sergei Grinkov and Ekaterina Gordeeva met when they were two teenagers in Moscow who were studying skating. They soon became partners on the ice, eventually winning four World Championships and gold medals in the 1988 and 1994 Olympic pairs skating competitions. It wasn't long before they were partners off the ice as well; they fell in love, married, and had a daughter. They had a seemingly perfect relationship until heart failure took Sergei's life at the age of 28. This documentary (produced with Ekaterina Gordeeva's participation) looks at their lives together, as athletes and as husband and wife, featuring interviews with their friends Kristi Yamaguchi, Scott Hamilton, and Viktor Petrenko. Brian Boitano, professional American figure skater and 1988 Olympic gold winner in Men's figure skating, has toured in Europe and North America and starred in a number of television specials with German ice skater Katarina Witt. In 1994 Boitano returned to Olympic competition, placing sixth in competition. This fifty-four minute video features Brian Boitano and some of the world's finest ice-skating champions, including

This year's format for Ice Wars is a bit different from the previous years. The event was held in Norfolk, Virginia on March 7, 2000. The format consisted of four teams of two (see below to view competitors). Both teams skated two artistic programs, after which, the highest scoring teams advanced to the second round. The team with the highest cumulative total after two programs was the winner - which in this case, was Kurt Browning and Surya Bonaly. A panel of five professional judges scored the skaters on a 10.0 scale. Yuka Sato began the competition with her flowing program to "

Extractions: Home Profile Record Articles ... Links Stars On Ice was founded in 1986 by Scott Hamilton as a forum in which to showcase figure skating to a fuller extent, both athletically and creatively, than had previously been available to professional skaters. Whereas previously the only routes open to pros who wished to continue skating were the Ice Capades, or similar ice show revues, Stars On Ice was a unique opportunity for skaters to express their creativity in working together to create new group and individual numbers and continue their growth as skaters. Although the initial "Scott Hamilton's America Tour" only reached five cities, the tour soon expanded to 30, and by the time its 10th anniversary rolled around, was reaching 55 cities in America alone, as well as many additional stops in a relatively new branch of the tour in Canada. Having gained its main sponsor, Discover Card, Stars On Ice became known as Discover Stars On Ice. In 1999, Target Stores took over sponsorship and DSOI became TSOI, Target Stars On Ice. Fourteen years after Scott Hamilton founded Stars on Ice, he decided to make the fifteenth tour his last. The 2001-2002 tour was thus dubbed the "Scott Hamilton Farewell Tour" and was a chance for Scott to say goodbye to the cities which had supported him and come to see him skate for so many years. In 2002, Smuckers took over as title sponsor. The tour is now entering its 17th year and attracts some of the finest professional skaters in the world, while visiting over 60 cities around the US.

Extractions: The ratings for Michelle's special, according to USA Today. A 6.6 rating, and a 12 share. It was tied for the 61st show of the week (out of 111). Each rating point equals 994,000 households, and each share equals the precentage of sets in use. So, approximately 9.9 million people watched the special. This was better than her first special which got a 4.8 rating, and a 9 share, with 7 million people watching. As with her first special, it was opposite a high rated show (Providence), which was #17 for the week. Did you catch Michelle's Disney special? It was different than her Mulan special.

Extractions: By Joe Erbentraut "Superstar" Lucinda Ruh - Lucinda emerged from the tunnel to perform spins in a beautiful sparkling dress while the amazing light show that has become Stars on Ice began. Although most skating fans are well aware of Lucinda's spinning ability, casual/non-fans seem to be in awe of it. I must say that seeing the same three spins over and over during the past few years is starting to get a bit old but hey, anything that can attract more non-fans to skating is all right by me! "Black Betty" Cast - Lucinda leaves, and the guys now emerge, standing in spotlights wearing black shirts with little hearts on them and red leather pants. Then the sex begins as the ladies go to join them. After the initial pairing up, Ilia Kulik separated to do a double axel and triple toe, while the girls danced at center ice. All of the skaters were introduced once again, then we had more lap dances in pairs with a few axels and lifts thrown in there. This year's opening certainly got the crowd into to it from the get-go with high energy music that was a lot of fun but I feel that this was the least unique and interesting opening number in recent memory from the show... Since when does every group number from Stars on Ice have to have all the girls and guys pair up and do lap dances? All of them are starting to look the same.
