What drew you to Victor's skating? Why were you such a huge fan?

OOH OKAY I am down for this question anon. I could talk about my husband all day.

So, anyone who knows about me knows I was a massive fan of Viktor's before we started dating. He was my first real crush. I remember the first time I saw him, really saw him. I'd heard the name, of course, but I hadn't really paid much attention until then.

It was the 05 Junior Worlds, his last and the one he won. I was blown away. He was incredible, even at so young an age. The way he moved, jumped, and spun was something no one had ever seen before. He won the Olympics the following year, and for good reason.

My friend Yuuko and I used to gush about him. I'm sure Takeshi (our friend and her now husband) probably got sick of it. I copied him long before the viral video of me skating to Stammi Vicino. I looked up to him a lot.

He brushes it off, but there's a good reason he's considered the GOAT. What he had - and still has - was something that will never be matched. At least in my opinion. That's the good thing about sport being subjective; there are many opinions! Many of today's top skaters - if not all of them - looked up to Viktor, and for good reason. He was special. He was great at everything and brought it together in a way no one had before.

He was the youngest Men's Singles Champion in history. Yuri would beat, but that was a team event medal, so for Singles Gold, that record still stands and is unlikely to be beaten. His Russian Nats and Euros records will probably never be beaten. He has others that have been beaten or are tied, but it still doesn't change what he did for the sport. None of the skaters who came after him - myself and even Chris included - would have been the same without him.

When he first started coaching me, I had to learn who Viktor the man was, as I thought he was a literal god on ice. I'm so glad I did. I'm honored to not only be his husband but to be his co-coach, so we can help guide the next generation!

Love you, lyubov!
