“Everything was so natural for us,” Katia says when thinking about her and Sergei’s relationship. “It’s not possible to describe. It just was so natural. I think that’s why it was so pure.”

As she is skating around the ice, it almost looks like she is looking around in search of Sergei, her partner and true love of many years. The whole performance is very emotional, full of longing and anguish and sorrow. Her ice skating moves as well as her facial expressions show all of those feelings as well as grief.
At the end of it, she outstretches her arms to the sky like she is reaching out for her Sergei. Then Katia starts to cry as the entire arena stands to give her a round of applause. After she skates off the ice, Katia Gordeeva picks up her little daughter and embraces her with a huge hug.
What an incredibly strong woman and a beautiful and touching tribute to her late husband!
