I'm still remembering couples skaters Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov.

What a beautiful pair.  Sad about his passing while practicing.

I just read in Wikipedia about Ekaterina and her skating and personal life after her husband's death.

She divorced her 2nd husband.  He was another Russian skater.  They had 1 child, but the marriage only last a couple of years.

Nathan Chen's performance to "Rocketman" was just wonderful.  Now he can add Olympic gold medalist to his resume.  Also enjoyed Jason Brown, such a gifted artist.

I saw it and was confused by the music.  I heard Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd.  At least it started out as that.  And yes, I heard the announcer say is was Rocket Man.

The movie "Rocketman" is a musical about Elton John's development as a musician.  The soundtrack includes renditions of many of his hits.  The music accompanying Mr. Chen's performance was a brief mix of parts of the movie soundtrack.  Don't know if this helps clarify things or not.

Actually, although she gave birth to her second daughter before marrying Ilia Kulik, they were married from 2002 until 2016, more than a couple of years.
