I normally make a note that this is the month he passed on, but I always seem to forget it was Nov. 20. He's still very missed. You can't help but wonder what if.

Sometimes it's just so hard to believe how long it's been. I remember it like it was yesterday, I was totally into the heyday of 90s figure skating and G&G were my favorite pair team. I was devastated at the news and ached for Katia for a long time. So hoping she continues to be happy, both her and Daria. Sergei is definitely missed.

Thanks for reminding us. My prayers are with Katia and Daria...they were such a beautiful family.

His sudden death was perhaps the most tragic moments in our sport

Such a terrible loss. I remember that day - a good friend called me from work to tell me that she heard the news on the radio. He will always be missed, but remembered lovingly.

That's exactly how I felt too. I remember seeing G&G at COI in Madison Square Garden. They were turely amazing together, and their second Olympic gold winning program is my alltime favorite
