Hi Everyone Just a quick note to tell everyone I was able to see Pasha last Monday and show her the Pasha. I was happy that I was able to do it for her. SHe looks beautiful as always. I had a wonderful time. I am getting ready now for an adult only competition in as vegas, I have decided not to do the Pasha at this time, it is putting lots of strain on my knee which keeps filling with fluid. I am so happy this year fulfilled 2 dreams with my accomplishment at ISI worlds, meeting you Pasha and being able to do the Pasha, especially for you. Hope everyone is well and Pasha I love you.

Hello everyone! (I just cannot stop visiting and posting at this board, it's so great!) Pasha, it's so wonderful to see you here again! That's too bad that your step father had passed away, I'm sure that he was a great person. Well, I know this message is pretty short, but it's time for me to go to bed! :) See you all later!

Comments:
To all: The post that Nadine was referring to was by 'Dancer' on FSU. THIS IS A SPOOF - a joke!. Dancer is one of the funnier posters over there and her topics always end up lampooning Maya - so keep on with your wonderful messages of support for Pasha!!!!!!!!!

Comments:
Hello Y'all!!! :-D I'm usually just a 'lurker' here, but tonight I felt a need to express my heartfelt condolences to Pasha on the loss of her father.....I have an idea how she feels b/c I, too, lost my beloved daddy last year in August.....and understand that one never rea ly does get over the loss of a loved one....you just learn how to cope better. So, with this in mind, I send you and yours my prayers and best wishes, Pasha! :-). BTW, 'hello' to Christy!! :-). And thank you for that 'smile' you sent me!! :-). XOXOXO, Nadine - P.S. I just read on a f.s. MB that this site is in danger of being closed down b/c of 'legal' action instituted by Maya Usova. Is this true or not? :-/. I'd appreciate any information one of y'all might have. Thank you. :-D

Comments:
Dear Pasha, I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of your' father. Please know that your' mum, your' family, and yourself are in Andy's and my prayers. Thank you sooo... much for the warm welcome and nice message! When I read it to Andy, his little face lit p like a lightbulb! You really made his day. Thank you for that! I'm very glad that I finally get to let you know how much I admire your' skating and you as a person! I'm also happy to be able to chat with all of these wonderfull friends of yours'. They a e such a very nice group of people! Oh-also, Thank you Bevelusha, for such a warm welcme email. You are very sweet! Well, gotta get back to work!

First of all, THANK YOU VERY MUCH Pasha for the wonderful greeting card you sent me yesterday. I wasn't really expecting anything from you because I know that are so busy. I admire you really for being so affectionate to all your friends and to the peop e who look up to you. You are an ice princess and yet your heart is so warm. Actually, I have been away for a vacation that's why I wasn't posting lately but it was a nice surprise to see an e-mail card from you. That was a nice gesture from you. I jus finished reading all the messages on your board and it was filled up with so many messages. As you can see, we missed you a lot. I was also glad to see your recent message here on the board. I'm very sorry to hear about your father. My sincere condol nces to your mother. I've just read news about you on the Onelist Communities. Pasha, I know you must be having a hard time but remember we are always here for you and will always be here whatever happens! I will pray for God to give you power and all he blessings. Thanks a lot also for welcoming me here. Yes, I do enjoy your board very much and the people here are as warm as you. In fact, I also love and enjoy reading all the messages from the people who often write here. By the way, To Karen, bet er late than never, congratulations to you (Karen) for winning a silver medal. I hope to see you also perform the "Pasha move" one day. Lastly, my best regards to each and everyone. Always, Jill

Hello my dear friends, I am so happy to write you again. I haven't really been on the internet for a while since I wrote to you last time. I missed you very much, I was thinking of you everyday. You are always in my soul. 241 e-mails came to me at that time! I want to thank you so much for you kindness and your support. I will not forget it and I will forever be grateful. It means so much. What had happened in August: 1) My mother's husband is gone to Heaven during the operation. He wasn't my real father, but that didn't matter to me, I loved him very much. I was and am still so sad. We dint know what to do. My mum is 49 years old and she is very along now. How can I help her? 2) Australian tou will be later, the organizer had some problems. The date is not clear. 3) Elvis Stoiko tour is also questionable. I was in church and prayed God for me and for you and for them who has given me so much pain. I am going to do beneficent film in he next 6-9-months. What will be more interesting for people to hear from me? Please send me your idees. It will be our film.

I am so happy to see Pasha doing so well. As a friend I have always cheered for her and as a friend she has always cheered for my daughter. For those of you that don't actually know her you will find Pasha one of the most giving friends you can have. Even though she is the most successful ice dancer in history she has never let it go to her head. She is greatful to her fans and has always been there for the young skaters, never failing to give of her time to talk to them, encourage them and give advice. Sh much deserves to be successful as a singles skater and as she desires to do, become a great teacher. As for acting, I know she will give the same effort to it as she gives to skating and will be outstanding, not to mention beautiful. Our loss at t he Mar boro rink was California's gain. We do so miss you there. Anushka my dear friend. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into this site. I know how difficult it is with how your health has been, not to mention that now you must prepare again for ano her year of school. I will e mail you later. Always with love to Pasha and you. Yours always with love. Jim Hodges

PAsha, I have your CD, call me, I left phones where I can be reached both in email and your business phone.

Hi friends! I hope that each and every one of you is well. I want to say hi to you guys and let you know I am thinking of you. And always, to dear Pasha, I love you! We miss you so much. Come home soon!!

Comments:
Hello Pasha, darling girl. We do miss you and want the best for you. Anushka, thank you for the translation of the German-Russian Courier article. You are always there to do nice things for people. Jay, congratulations to you my friend. Love, Bev

Comments:
Dearest Pasha!, Thank you soooo much for your beautiful greeting card and very nice message - very thoughtful, and unexpected - especially since you are so busy these days!. Hope all is well with you - and i'm sure that ALL your fans wish you nothing but success and hap iness for all the years to come. Warmest regards, your friend, Jay.

Hi everybody,I thought it would be nice to translate the German newspaper article for those who can’t read German. I hope you will enjoy reading it. Thank you Barbara for posting it! Pasha&family&Vanya, Love you and miss you!Lots of kisses Anushka. Translation: German-Russian Courier. June 26th a fan meeting in honour of the loved figure skater Oksana Grishuk-Pasha- took place in Sarstedt. Many fans attended this fan meeting of the Ice Queen. Her aunt Sonja Kujawsky, the director of a private music school, has o ganised the fan meeting. Oksana answers numerous questions and tells about her acting plans and about her life in Hollywood. The two times Olympic Champion Ice Dance regularly takes acting lessons and was allowed to play herself in the TV series Beverly H lls. Besides that she still trains. She has started a single skating career now, which is a new challenge for her after a long ice dance career. As the highpoint of the meeting the sponsor, the company Fortis, that makes astronaut products, gives Pasha a resent- a valuable watch, an astronaut jacket and an astronaut hat.

Comments:
Dear Pasha!, I'm so glad I finally found your' site! I love your' skating, your' presence on the ice and your' personality. I applaud you for all of your' courage, triumph and the choices you have made! I have been only watching and cheering for you since 1992 Olympics, (My life was hectic prior to that time with the birth of Andy), But I am in total awe of your' presence, determination, courage and persistance! You are truly a remarkable human being and I feel blessed to have been able to witness your' pe formances! As for your' future, Don't ever stop being yourself and doing what you believe in! You CAN do anything you set your heart to! (Oh, that phrase means a lot to me, because of watching you triumph through all you have, I have become a stronger per on and a better mother for Andy. You have been an inspiration for me! Thank you for that with all of my heart!) With much gratitude and admiration!, Love, Kimmi Whisner :) P.S. Andy say's, "Hi, Pasha!" He loves ya too!

Comments:
Pasha, Thanks for your email and card. I sure did miss you, as did all of us here on your board. Can't wait to see you.... Looking forward to hearing from you what you have been doing....

Comments:
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL PASHA FANS!!! You are first on the FAVOURITE SKATERS board!!! Have a look yourself http://www.freevote.com/booth/favsk8ers

Comments:
Hi, Everyone! We're Pasha-ettes. I LOVE it! Anna, translate, please. Love, Bev

Comments:
Karen, I LOVE the Pasha move! If I was a skater, I would like to do it too! But of course, I wouldn't do it nearly as good as Pasha! :)

Comments:
Hello everybody. Wonderful place to meet Pasha and her fans! I'll visit this site often. Here is something small for you all from Germany. Deutsch - Russischer Kurier, 7/99. Am 26. Juni fand die Begrüßungsveranstaltung zu Ehren der beliebten Eiskunstläuferin Oxana Grischuk - PASHA - in Sarstedt statt. Zu einer Plauderstunde mit ihr kamen viele Fans der Eiskönigin. Ihre Tante, die Direktorin der privaten Musikschule, Sonja Kujawsky organisierte das Treffen. Oxana beantwortete zahlreiche Fragen und berichtete über ihre Pläne bezüglich Schauspielerei und ber ihr Leben in Hollywood. Die zweifache Olympiasiegerin im Eistanz nimmt regelmäßig Schauspielunterricht und spielt sich selbst in der Serie "Beverly Hills". Außerdem setzt sie ihr Training fort. Sie läuft jetzt Solo, was nach vielen Jahren Duo-Eistanz ine neue Erfahrung für sie darstellt. Zur Krönung des Treffens schenkte der Sponsor, die Firma "Fortis", die Produkte für Astronauten herstellt, Oxana ein Präsent - eine wertvolle Uhr, ein Austronautenjacket und einen Austronautenhelm.

Comments:
Jen - It was me who had the compilation G&P tape. I ordered it from a Canadian fan and although it is a bit "rough" I love watching it and witnessing G&P rise to the top. If you are interested, email me directly and I will give you the name of source. Hi Pasha and all the Pasha-ettes!! Hope everyone is well! Anna K.

Comments:
Karen, I did get mixed up, didn't I? Oh, well, I'm still glad to hear that you're having a great time with your skating! And thanks for clarifying the "Pasha". Very dramatic! Love, Bev

Comments:
Belvalushka, SP?? Sorry I think I spelled your name wrong. Worlds is over that is where I won the silver. The move I call the Pasha, it a move Pasha did in You'll See, hope I can decribe it, she is moving forword skating on her left leg, her right knee is on the ice and she glides forward with her back arched and her hands extended back touching the ice behind her. It takes tremendous strength and flexibility and although I can not reach as far back as she can I an do the move. It is one of things she showed me when we worked together. Well off to skate now and try the PASHA in my program for my coach... Have a good day.

Comments:
Karen, it makes me very happy to read about your skating successes. Tell me what move you do that you call "The Pasha". Very very good luck to you at your Worlds. Again, I will be waiting to hear that you did your best, did well, and had a wonderful time! Learning of your silver at Nationals brought a big smile to my face and applause from me to you! Yes, we do all miss Pasha. She is working so hard at her career and life. Love to you, Karen. And as always love to Pasha Grishuk. Bevelusha

Comments:
Hi Everyone, Just wanted to say hi and let everyone know I am getting real consistent at doing the Pasha, I am so confident with it now, I have included it as a ending of one of my programs. PASHA, please hurry back home I can not wait to show it to you, and to tell ou about my World Competition.

Comments:
Dear Pasha, It's along time now since I last wrote to you. But because I have been lazy with writing to you dosen't mean I haven't thought of you! There is almost not a day without me thinking of you, talking about you or visiting your website/messageboard. I write you now because I have felt that I should do so for a long time, to wish you luck with your new life and your new skating career! You'll make a great singles skater as long as you belive in yourself and work hard (as I know you are doing!). Also want to thank you because through you I have discovered the whole world of figure skating which I think have made my life more interesting and which also have given me new friends, especially Anushka! Unfortunatly I wasen't abel to attend your fanmeeting in Germany, reports about it once again tells about what a nice and warmhearted person you are! Love, Jessica

Comments:
Yeah, I'll definately be posting here more often, because this is such a nice place! I don't feel lonely anymore here either, because I see what good people you all are. :)

Comments:
HELLO!!!Is everybody on vacation?

Comments:
Amber, it's nice to see that you post more often here, aside from the fact that you're not alone here anymore. Jen is also same your age. Speaking of her, Jen- I didn't purchase the compilation tape. I taped all the live telecast of Pasha's past compet tions by myself. Those were her last year of competitions (European Championships, Gala, Nagano Olympics and Gala). Is that what you meant? All were unedited because it's nice to compare how Pasha & partner were much, much way ahead of their competitor . They were soooo fast on the ice. I never get tired of watching them all over again. Best regards from Jill.

Comments:
Hi Jen! I live in Pennsylvania. It's really nice here, but lately it's been storming bad. :( Oh well, I guess we need the rain!

Comments:
Oooops! I meant that I forgot to put my name, not that I forgot what it was! LOL I'm sure you all knew what I meant, right? Love to you all!

Comments:
Hi everyone. Sorry, that was me on 08/11...I was so crazy that day and forgot my name. I'm so silly! I haven't been able to get over here as much lately. Hopefully that will all change now. I hope everyone is well. I see that the board has been active lat ly. Pasha will be so happy to read all these nice messages. I can't wait until her return when we can all hear her stories and communicate with her. All my love to everyone here......WE MISS YOU PASHA!

Comments:
Amber, I'm 14, also. Where do you live? Jill, where did you purchase that compliation tape? I would DIE to have one. That's such a great idea. I love this board too. Isn't it the best? XOX

Comments:
I agree with you Jill! Everyone here does seem very nice and friendly! This board's great! :)

Comments:
I agree with you Jill! Everyone here does seem very nice and friendly! This board's great! :)

Comments:
To Anushka- thank you for the information. Yesterday, I must have been taken away by the total eclipse here in Germany that's why I got mixed up and didn't know who was talking there (post 8/11). To Cristy- thank you so much for welcoming me and I feel o happy that people here are as warm and wonderful as Pasha! I'm getting addicted to this board and you all made me feel at home here. You are all friendly and kind!

Comments:
AnnaK-Yes, the song is "I will always love you" by Witney Houston. They used it as an exhibition in 1994/1995 ( at least when I saw it on TV). I was doubting between "I will always love you" and "Adagio", because in both Pasha does a spin. Have you seen A agio? It also shows that Pasha can be a good single skater. Jill- I think the 8/11 post was by Christy ( another one of our "family members").Anushka

Comments:
Anushka - No it is not adaigio although if I remember correctly it was an exhibition program. I believe that the music was a Whitney Houston piece...maybe "I will always love you"? I will try to view again and let you know for sure. Pasha and Evgeny are both wearing white shirts (Pasha's is tied at the waist) and black pants. Anna

Comments:
Regarding the post dated 8/11- does anybody know if that was really from Pasha herself? The last sentence was a bit confusing to me.

Comments:
Hi everyone!I just LOVE this place! I guess that such a wonderful person as Pasha only has wonderful fans. I have met so many great friends here and I hope to meet many more.Amber, I hope to see you post more often.Christy, I hope ev ry day will be better for you and please take good care of yourself! AnnaK, Do you know what the name of the music is of that program? I thought I could recognise “Adagio” from your description, but I’m not sure. They did this program in 1995/1996 as an exhibition and it is so emotional. My favorite version is the one from the Europeans in Sofia. Anyway I think the commentator is right because Pasha does that spin so beautiful + she keeps her leg so high backwards earlier in the program. I have some f uff pieces of training sessions and warming up sessions in which Pasha skates by herself and watching those training/warming up sessions it makes me even more confident ( if that is possible:-) that Pasha will do just fine as a single skater. Lots of love to all of you and to my dearest Pasha and her family as well, Vanya as well of course! God Bless! Anushka.

Comments:
Who?? Who's talking and saying such nice things here??? No name! Who?

Comments:
Hi everyone! I am so sorry I have been away too long. Congrats Karen!! Way too go! Welcome Jill! I'm sure you will feel right at home here. We are all like one family, and I cherish all these wonderful friends. Hello, Anushka, Elenna, Jay, Bevlusha, Nadin (miss you so much!), Jen, and everyone else I may have accidently forgotten. I'll be back to normal posting soon. I've just had a series of tests and I am wiped out. Love to you all, and always to dear Pasha and family. WE MISS YOU PASHA!!!!

Comments:
Just wanted to let you guys know that I purchased a G&P compilation tape 1991-1997 and in one program Pasha is skating on one side of the ice and Evgeny is on the other side and Pasha is spinning and the commentator says "It looks like Okasan could be a g eat singles skater too!" I had to laugh!!! I see that as a good sign... Anna K.

Comments:
I know I don't post here too often, but I do read the messages here frequently, and I must say that you guys all seem very nice and friendly! I'll probably be posting here more often when I get the time to, because I'd love to get to talk to you all! Pa ha seems like a very nice and friendly person too, and I think it's great that she talks to us fans. Well, I have to get going now, but hopefully I'll be back soon, and then I can talk to you all!!! Also, I was wondering, is there anyone here my age? I'm 14, and I wasn't sure if there was anyone else here that was close to my age. Thanks again!!! :) ~Amber

I was out of town on the weekend and just arrived today that's why it took me time to post my deepest thanks. As soon as we got home, I turned on my pc and read the discussion board. I felt so touched by your warm welcome. My hearthful thanks to the ff Anushka- yes, you will see a lot of post from me here. In fact I'm really having a good time making new friends here. To Jen- of course I know your name. You were in Europe but wasn't able to attend Pasha's meeting, right? I was also on a 3-week holi ay in New York with my German husband. When we came back just a few days before Pasha's fan meeting, I felt too shy to attend the meeting because I didn't introduce myself earlier here. Before I came to settle here in Germany, I lived in Japan for 10 yea s and worked at a Japanese company. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next meeting here. By the way, I'm also a member of Pasha's mailing list. To Bevelusha, I love your humour! I think we are all young at heart and age doesn't matter. I wish we cou d all meet someday together with our beloved Pasha! Once again thank you so much. Warmest regards from Jill

Comments:
Hi, Pasha! I know that you are working hard for the upcoming season. But as you can see, while you're away, we're all having fun! Love to you, Bev

Comments:
Hi Jill,and welcome from me,too! You will certainly meet plenty of Pasha fans here that you can think of as family. In fact,you can sort of think of me as "Grandma"...(but PLEASE don't spread that around!) Have fun,and post often. We'll all be looking for ard to your input. Also, I think you're right about Pasha's skating being wonderful to watch. She is fearless on the ice! I hope to meet her someday,too. I would have my Tony make her a big pasta dinner to enjoy. Love,Bev

Comments:
Welcome Jill! It is always so nice to see new Pasha fans here! I love this discussion board, because it really is like a family :-) I'm Jen, as you might know. I live in Oregon, in the US. Where did you live before you moved to Germany? Do you know of Pasha's fan meetings in Sardstet? Anyway, welcome to the board, and I look forward to reading more of your posts! XOX

Comments:
WELCOME Jill! I hope to see you post a lot and that you will have a good time here. Best regards Anushka.

Hello to everyone. I've been a big fan of Pasha since I came to Europe 2 years ago to settle down in Germany. It was purely accidental when I switched on to Eurosports. It was European championship but that time I didn't know anything about figure skat ng and was not really enthusiastic about it. Anyway I kept watching until I saw Pasha Grishuk on the ice. I was so impressed right away as she danced with her former partner. She was so wonderful to watch. From that day I became an instant fan of Pash and figure skating. I even taped all Pasha's competitions. Sometimes I watch her competitions again and again on the tape and I often ask myself when could I ever see her in person. It's been my dream to see her. Just this year I connected myself to nternet and found her homepage. I always visit her homepage and other links but I never wrote her. I guess I was a shy and silent fan. One evening I got the courage to e-mail Pasha and introduced myself to her. I thought to myself that she would not h ve the time to answer me back. Unexpectedly she replied back and I was so delighted. I admired her for that! It's really true what I read about her that she's a warm and kind person. I promised her that I would introduce myself on her discussion boar and she replied again that she liked the idea. She even encouraged me to do so, even saying from her own words: "you will feel with my fans like in your family". Those are her own words. The last time I got an e-mail from her, she told me that she's going away for 5 weeks. It's a pity because I promised her that I would introduce myself here. Today I've fulfilled my promise to her even if she's not right here at the moment. I know alre dy each and everyone's name who writes here but nobody knows me yet. I hope I would be welcome here.

Karen - I am SO happy for you CONGRATULATIONS!! You are an inspiration and an example that dreams do come true. I just did a triple lutz wearing my slippers and pj's in your honor!!!! Anna

Comments:
Karen, CONGRATULATIONS!!! We are all so proud of you! I knew you could do it! Keep up the good work! We all know now what a wonderful coach our Pasha is :-)

Comments:
Congratulations Karen on your Silver medal! I also wish Pasha the best of luck during her Austrailian tour!

Comments:
CONGRATULATIONS Karen! I just knew you would do just great. Anushka

Comments:
Karen: Congratulations to you. I'm sure that you deserved your wonderful silver medal performance. I remember reading that Pasha had spent some three hours with you at your rink, giving some tips and showing you some moves - so 'kudos' to you both. Jay.LOL.

Comments:
Dear Karen, it seems like I've been waiting forever to hear the results of your efforts. What good news! Hearty congratulations on your silver medal! I'm very very happy for you. Very happy. Love, Bevelusha

Comments:
PASHA AND FRIENDS, I DID IT. I won a SILVER MEDAL at the recreational WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. IT was so awesome,Pasha I talked to you right before I went on and again while I was waiting for my music to start. You and Bobby did it for me, I needed both of you and you both ma e my dream come true. Those of you here with your words of support were awesome. I wish all your dreams come true as mine did.

Comments:
Hello to all Pasha fans across the world. I guess we all should stand together behind Pasha against such whiners like J.K. She is , was, al forever will be the best. Sonja thank you for all. Pasha,I'll forever love you. Thomas

Comments:
Hi everyone, This is an aswer to John King : How do you call people who causes a car incident because they are drunk? I call them criminals even if no-one died: they don't care about other people even if they could have killed them. I hope that Pasha won't care about what you said because it's unfair. I don't think Pasha has to be scared to be in competition with Baiul : she is largely the best in what concerns footwork, the flow... and she is now working on triple jumps. Pasha : Good luck for the tour!!! Sandrine

Comments:
To J.K.: I don't know why you seem to be so eager to get an apology from Pasha. You don't know her, don't you? And since you don't seem to like her why are you so concerned that those comments ( from two years ago!) will haunt her? It's really easy to jud e someone you don't know at all. This board is for Pasha Fans and we would like to have a good time here, so please leave this board alone. Anushka

Comments:
Attn. John King: Sir, I have replied to your posts here several times and also communicated with you personally. You are like a 'broken record' and pop up with the same nonsense every few weeks. When will you learn that this is a page for Pasha's fans and that this is not the place for the likes of you.

John, I would like to remind you that this is a place for Pasha fans to meet, talk, and support Pasha. This is not a place to say comments like you said, or not nice things about Pasha. This is her guestbook, and please respect that. If you would like to support Pasha, then you are more than welcome here. Thank you

Comments:
I noticed in a few publications that Pasha,since the departure of Sasha Zhulin,will now go into singles competition,a change from ice dancing,to say the least.Since the public spotlight on women's singles is a lot greater than it is in ice-dance or pairs, he might take a few lessons in PR.Like how can she reconcile her comments in IFS Magazine about "If somebody were to let me do commontating,I would say exactly professional,honest things...but in a very nice way" with having called Oksana Baiul everything from a "criminal" to "that fat has-been".This might have escaped people when they were in different competitions (singles versus ice-dance).But now that they might just be in the same arena,both figuratively and literally,Pasha's words might come back to aunt her,until she apologizes for them.

Comments:
Anna K and Jen: I have no idea when this show will be. I only remember she briefly mentioned it when she was talking about offers she already got. Elena I think you are completely right every single member of Pasha's family is really wonderful.A ushka

Comments:
Anushka, you mentioned Pasha skating in a show in Sun Valley. Do you (or anybody else out there) know when this prospective show would be? I'm only about 8 hours away (driving) from Sun Valley, and I would LOVE to attend. If anyone has any information on this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so

Comments:
i think Pasha is very strong and tough. She should go on WWF wrestling where she would be able to pin almost any other girl.

Comments:
Dear Pasha and her family, thank you very, very much for your kindness to me! For this wonderful parcel which I have received recently! I lOved everything!!! Pasha is soo adOOOrable on the photo you sent to me! She is so sweet! I translated the article from the "Health+" magazine and already put it on my Site. You can have a look at this at: http://members.tripod.com/PashaGrishuk/healthmagaz.htm And I put Pasha's autographed photo to the Gallery. Millions of thanks for everything!!!!! You are such an amazing people! Thank you! Best wishes! Love, Elena

Comments:
Annushka - Thanks so much for the info. I am so excited that Pasha has the opportunity to tour as a solo skater. Hopefully this will be a good experience that will alleviate her "solo" jitters. I noticed on a show schedule that they will be televising a Holiday Festival in Salt Lake City on October 11th. Do you think this could be the show you were referring to? Anna

Comments:
Elenna, Thank you so much for the information. I appriciate your kindness.

Comments:
Anna, Pasha has been invited to a tour in Australia. I have no idea if they are going to broadcast a show of this tour in the US. I'm sure they won't do that in Europe. But I think she also meantioned that she was going to skate in Sun Valley, maybe they ill show that show on TV. I'm not completely sure about that one though. Pasha, wishing you all the luck and happiness in the world. I know you will do just great and I will always support you no matter what happens. Always love you!!!!!! Anushka

Comments:
Elenna - Has Pasha been invited to a tour? Do you know which one? I am so happy for her if this is true. I didn't know there were tours during the skating season! I hope I am able to see it!! Anna

Comments:
Pasha good luck in your new start! I wish you good luck on the Tour! Your hard work, will be awarded! Love Elena. I want to thank Thomas Lattrell for the translation you put here. It was interesting to read! Thanks a lot! Mia, I think that Pasha will be out for five weeks, because she has to train a lot before the Tour, so she will be very, very busy! My best wishes.

Hello Pasha, as I promised here are the translations for you. I hope they are okay for you so far. I hope to hear from you soon Greetings to your family especially to your aunt Sonja. She sends me the articles so fast.(amazing) Ok my dear,hope to hear from you. With all my love Thomas __________ Talktime with Pasha (Hearty welcome to Iceprincess Pasha from her fans) The popular Figure Skater Pasha Oksana Grishuk has pleased her fans in Sarstedt with a visit. All fans were invited to have time to talk with her. The organisation of this fan-meeting was organized by Pasha's aunt Sonja Kujawski. The Welcomearrangement to honour the Icedance Queen Pasha Oksana Grishuk was a big Success for all the Fans who will be there. During the lazy talking with Pasha the fans get a little experience of the life of their Idol. Also her further plans about working as an actress and living in Hollywood she offers to the fans. Pasha takes lessons for acting and plays herself at "Beverly Hills 90210". After her Figure Skating Career she plans to become an actress in Hollywood. She also has to answer many questions about her new Showprogram - of course in English. Her aunt Sonja Kujawski and a friend of the Family,Mr.Svilen Mitev,do the translation of all the questions and answers during the meeting. A big present for Pasha comes from one of her Sponsors during the meeting. It was a very precious watch that they made to her as a present. After a little break the fans could see a videorecording from her free program at Lillehammer. After some hours and lots of questions Pasha could relax and devote herself to her family. (Florian Beitzen) ______________ Starallures are not a part of Pasha - in spite of all her successes On television running the last pictures of the Lillehammer free program.Then the Video is over and the screen turns to black.Devotious Silence is in the Room.Pasha Grishuk looks around,smiles and asks: "What's up, all sleep in ?" Certainly 80 Fans at the Sarstädter Residencia Boarding House start to laugh. Everyone who has not opend his Heart for the graceful Russian Lady,at this moment he lost it to her. But for Pasha it was like being at home.The many Russian-Germans are totaly charmed from her. It was not hard to imagine how popular Pasha was in her Country.In Germany you just have to imagine that you go shopping beside Boris Becker and Steffi Graf. Pasha Grishuk is olympic champion twice and collected many championtitles and records. In every arena around the world the people encounter her with admiration and often with adoration. But even because of this it was herself who goes towards the people,asks questions and starts conversations. Pasha listen concentrated to people.And she wants to be understand.She gives - in russian and english - answers to all the questions just untill everybody knows what she thinks and feel. She tells her fans a lot about it.About the removal to Los Angeles after the Olympic Games in Nagano,about the starting of her Pro career in California. She told about that she is skating now solo,which is a real fascination for her,after so many years Icedancing. The translator Svilen Mitev got many problems to follow her:very fast he jumps between english,german and russian language. Pasha is now ful of passion and talks about the chances you can have when you live in Hollywood: "I can play myself at the Series Beverly Hills 90210" she tells proud the people. She now takes reguar actinglessons and want to become an actress later if she can't skate anymore. She tells about that she was happy as a child,as she met Arnold Schwarzenegger while she was shopping. "Los Angeles is an amazing City for young people",she swarm about the metropole Los Angeles."You should search your luck there". Of course no one in the audience has the chance to get there,because they didn't have the capability or the chance to get there.But everyone in the audience is happy for Pasha and for the chances she gets there. Also charmed from her is Mr.Peter Peter from the watchcompany Fortis. The company sponserd Pasha's appearance at the fanmeeting. After three hours she leaves the fanmeeting with the promise to all her fans that she comes back for sure. She will stay a few days in Sarstedt with her family. (abu)

Hello my dearest Pasha! I haven't written you in a few months but I wanted to write to tell you how very proud of you I am!! The last time I wrote, you were just starting to go into singles and now you are already working on Triple Jumps!! You are one mazing lady & athlete, and I can't WAIT to see you skating singles, I am sure you will do great!! I also was wondering if you would be willing to send me an autographed 8 X 10 of yourself for my collection. I currently have autographed 8 X 10's of Miche le Kwan, Nicole Bobek, and my 2 web clients, Amber Corwin & Tara Lipinski, but my skating wall would look so much better with an autographed 8 X 10 of YOU up there as well!! I am more than willing to pay any shipping charges, etc, etc. I am sending you y mailing address in a private email. If you are not able to send a picture, that's OK too. I mainly wanted to congratulate you on the wonderful progress you are making as a singles skater and to let you know that I love & support you & all your efforts!! Have a great summer, Pasha, I'll try to write again soon! Brad Miller

Comments:
Hi Pasha, Thanks so much for your card wishing me a perfect day tomarrow at my competition. I will think of you when I skate and for once I will not have to force myself to smile, it will be there because I will remember how much I loved the time we spent together skating and working on my program. Ony 2 more weeks till worlds, I am getting so very excited. Tired, real tired but so very happy. Hope all is well with you, my dear friend... Love, Karen

"A Long Overdue Note to You" It has been a long time since I've been in touch. But that doesn't mean you haven't been on my mind. I think about you so much. You and I will always be close. And you deserve to know that you always have - and always will - hold a very special place in my heart. Along with my favorite memories and right beside my highest hopes, I keep a very precious reminder that ...we'll never be apart.

Comments:
Pasha - I am so glad that the fan meeting in Germany went so well. It seems that it might have buoyed your spirit a bit, to see how many people care about you. Are you still planning to hold one in LA? If so, I would love to help organize it!!! Also, are you lanning on attending any of the Hot Summer Night shows in Lake Arrowhead? I attended on July 4th and am planning on going again on August 7th. Last time I got Michelle Kwan's autograph and this time I want YOURS!!!!! Practice hard because I want to see ou this season!!! Anna K.

Comments:
Dearest Pasha, Thank you so much for the cute little card you sent to me. It brought a big smile to my face and I love it!! You didn't have to do this for me, you've done so much for me already. I sent you the cards to thank you. But this is how you are, always thinking about others and doing nice things for them. You are such a blessing. Thank you so much!! Oh, by the way...the reason the angels in one of the cards I sent had red and blonde hair is because you have blonde hair and I have red hair!! Take care of yourself and God Bless you!! Christy

Hello Pasha: This is a wonderful site you have set up and it is a pleasure to write you a two time Olympic Gold Medalist.... It has been a pleasure to write you a very beautiful and Talented Athlete..Thanks so much for taking time to sign a Photo for me.. Sincerely. Michael.

Comments:
Hello Pasha, Today I found your website, and I want to let you to know that I am a fan of yours. I am so glad that I found the information, it was just what I was looking for a long time. I live in Holland, and it is a pity that we do not have many television shows of figure skating. But we have Internet. Is it possible to become a member of your fanclub ??? I hope everything is ok with you, and I want you to say that I think it is a pity that you and Evgeny and Sasha split. But we have to look forward. I wish you all the best with your solo-skating and your acting career. Lots of good wishes From Margreet

Hello my dear friends, I'm sorry that it has taken me awhile to write you,-there was so much wonderful stress. First THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for your beautiful e-mails and all your support for me. Dear Christy, I hope you are better now, I sent you an e-postcard to make your day a little beat more beautiful! We are all think ng of you and wish you all the best. I would like to mention my fan-meeting-it was great! I love this day! I was so happy to meet Anushka, Kevita, Sandrine, Nathalie, Swielen... everybody who came to meet me!!! My great fans became my friends. Thi time conditions were different than last year, when at one time we all cried together. This time we laughed and spoke only over major matters. I am most convinced that you and I are one piece, that we think the same way, we feel the same way. I am hap y that my idea as solo- dancer was taken so enthusiastically. This new direction in figure skating will be our opening together, taking all my dance experience, added with single athletic elements, strengthen with all my new knowledge in actress-class and your support. In the interview during the fan-meeting I said that I will be skating for AT LEAST the next 5 years. Kern, thank you very much for sending this interview here and thank you so much Anushka for translation (you wrote this interview LIFE). I thank the direction of FORTIS for their support towards me, for a wonderful dinner in your villa, I shall never forget your unique watch collection and am looking forward to meet you soon in LA. The meeting in the music-school will be unforgettable for m , and amazing performances of the young musicians, given excellent concert to me. I am proud this music-school has my name!!! Dear Nathalie, thank you very much for your report!!! Dear sweetheart Anushka thank you very much for your report!!! I made co y from both them to keep for my memory. It's a pity my visit to Germany was so short. Fritz, thank you very much for making the video during the fan-meeting. Can't wait to see it! Dear Sandrine, thank you very much for photos! Thank you Elenna for eve ything you're doing for me. We missed you! All of us know your page and are excited about it. Thank you, Elenna! Was so happy to speak to Norbert!!! Dear Karen, I'll call you the next days. Much love. Thank you so much Jay for helping in necessary moments, and for translation as well. Dear Sally, thank you so much for your wonderful e-card and poem for me!!! Forever thanks for Bevelusha! Hope Jey has a wonderful vacation! Special regards to Marie&Joe, Jim, Anna, Nadine, Patricia, Michael Terri, Nancy, Gabriella, Johan, Amber, Melissa, Roswitha - and all my fans!!! I am o.k., still should make up for my 8 missing days. I became more creative inspiration from this fan-meeting and shall use all of the new ideas on ice! I wish you wonderf l life and all the best! Always glad for your messages to me. Love you all! Pasha.

Comments:
To 'Bevelusha' and all. I'm sure that there are better German speakers on this board than me, but i'll give it my best shot: (paraphrasing) 'I had the pleasure to learn more about Pasha in a recent fan meeting in Sarstedt. Unfortunately I could not write before. She is very natural and not at all conceited. I write that they were all charming and friendly. I also found out that she (Pasha) looks prettier in real life than she appears on television'. Hope that helps! JAY.LOL!!!!!!

Comments:
Hi, Pasha! This is my weekend to work. My hope for you is that you are enjoying life and having a wonderful time at it! Love and kisses to you and to Momma.

Comments:
Regarding Roswitha Kern's post: I knew I should have listened to my father when he told me many years ago,"Forget about that Latin stuff. Study German!" Love, Bevelusha

Comments:
Am 26.06.99 hatte ich das Vergnügen Pasha bei einem Fan-Meeting in Sarstedt persönlich kennenzu lernen. Leider konnte ich nicht früher schreiben. Sie ist sehr natürlich und überhaupt nicht eingebildet. Ihre charmante und freundliche Art hat mich sehr beei druckt. Ich fand auch, daß sie in Wirklichkeit noch hübscher aussieht als es das Fernsehen einem vermitteln kann.

Comments:
Hello everybody, I love this site. Thank you Pasha for giving us the possibility to get more friends here and oft meet you. Always your fan Sally. I've got Russian-American Magazine Health+Plus from June. There are an interview with Pasha, 4 beautiful Pasha pictures and on the cover Pasha with flowers and Pasha single skater. Article is "Ice-Goddess in California". Does somebody have URL?

Comments:
Hello everybody! Pasha, I am so happy to hear that you have gotten invitations to perform for the fall and that you are enjoying your skating so much. Have fun in Australia. I typed in the e-mail address at my Mom's office. I hope it is correct. Mom' computer tends to dislike me for some reason. Nathalie (Oh, I hope I spelled that right) thank you for typing up the story. Christy, my best wishes and thoughts go with you. Anushka, again, your story rocks. It is not every day that I get a five page e-mail message. LOL. I hope you are all having a good summer despite the lack of ice! Anne

Comments:
Ah, yes! And thank you dear Bevelusha! Sorry I almost forgot your name. You are so kind and I thank you for your support also.

Comments:
Dearest Pasha and friends, I wish to thank all of you for your support in this most terrible time. I have just arrived home and am still trying to catch my breath. I still cannot believe that dear Katie is not here anymore. I feel so lost and empty, but I know I will survive. I always survive. Anushka, thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and for the beautiful poems. They are so true and wonderful for me to see. You are so dear and I am thankful to know you. Elenna, thanks for your words of encouragem nt and your kind words to me. I am happy that you are my friend. I still haven't found a way to convert the tape you sent, but I'm sure I will some day. Jay, thanks for your support also. It means a lot. I am sorry that I cannot remember every one who sen me messages and supported me. It did mean a lot and I am thanful for you. Mostly to dear, sweet, Pasha...you are becoming so much a part of me and who I am. Your support allows me to hang on and to fight back. I will never give up! Thank you so much for verything, for all that you are and all that you allow me to be. I love you dear, Pasha. Thank you soooo much!! I will be around more soon. Right now, I just have to heal. God Bless each and everyone of you!

Comments:
Dearest Friend, It was a very unexpected surprise to get your email. Thank you so much! Yes, travel is stressful. Anushka tells me that everything turned out to be wonderful, though. You were with many friends, your family, and your precious doggie. It was also a thrill, I'm sure to be honored by FORTIS. Congratulations! You've made a lot of people happy, and now its time for you. Continue to work hard, and your skating will please all. Good luck with your acting dream. Pasha, you really do give 100% to all that you do. I love your youth and your vigor, and (yes) your passion. Don't forget, when your momma's story is ready for editing, I'll be here waiting to help. Oh, the pictures! They are beautiful and they show a lovely town, lovely home, happy girl holding her chubby dog, beautiful mother, loving family and friends. And sunshine! As I told Anushka, I especially like the picture at the outdoor cafe. The scenery is remarkably like Key West, Florida, and the cafe like the one where Sharon and I stopped on our little day trip to Key West. Your interview was very insightful. I think that you projected warmth and caring. You always put your fans first in your answers. This was not contrived. These answers came from your heart. Thank you again for writing to me. You are a darling girl. One more thing, it is because of you that I was able to communicate with a very charming girl named Anushka. I also thank you for that. The world is opening up for this old lady. I would love to send you a picture of myself and loved ones someday. With much affection, Your Bevelusha

My dearest Pasha, Thank you for reading my report for me. I know you must be awfully busy and you still found the time to read it. You know I'm always scared that I will write something that will get twisted and turned, so it was so important to me that y u read it first. Thank you so much!!!!

Second meeting with Pasha in Sarstedt This year again, Pasha´s aunt organized a meeting for Pasha´s fans. While last time Tatjana took me along this time I actually got an e-mail from Pasha herself. I thought that was rather cute :-) The meeting took place in a building rather close to the one it was at last year. This time some girls actually came from other countries to see Pasha. Everything was nicely organized - I was rather surprised when Pasha´s aunt stopped her car immediately after noticing me to go and greet me - even remembering my name (!). The preceding this visit of Pasha´s to Germany the atmosphere was very relaxed. It started with a picture session with Pasha and her medals (the two GOLD Olympic ones and four GOLD World medals). After having been showered by flashes of cameras Pasha started talking a little telling us things she just wanted us to know. So, I'll try to make an adequate summary of this. One of the first things she talked about was L.A. She loves the city and said everyone should go there because to her it is a place where you can make your dreams come true if you have dreams. "LA is a huge cultural center, in which I'm in my element (dream). Here live so many great personalities, from whom everyone can learn. In this city you really live - every day, even every hour there come news, new meetings, new emotions...... Here I bec me more creative inspiration" . With going there she did not necessarily mean living there but also going for a holiday. Once for example when she walked along a street, she met Arnold Schwarzenegger going shopping with his family. She told us how stunned she was by this. That it took her some time to get used bumping into those world famous people (especially when they were doing these everyday things like shopping). I found that rather funny because I think there are loads of people feeling the same when they start bumping into figure skaters when they are off ice on competitions. She is being coached and choreographed now for singles skating - by Randy Gardner - and is having fun. "He is great!". On Tuesdays she has acting classes - she has to act a different kind of situation every time and likes that, too, I forgot the name of her teacher there, though - a problem when you do not take notes. Her goals jumpwise are doubles plus a triple Sal (she explicitly said she was not aiming for all triples). She hopes to be able to combine ice dancing with singles skating to create a different style and hopes for it being a positive influence to the current state of single´s skating. She will skate many shows (she mentioned Canada, Australia, Europa) and depending on how the training goes - she thinks she may have the triple ready in autumn - to compete at Pros at the beginning of next year (Jan or Feb).Skating is most important for her but when she stops skating professionally maybe in 5-10 years time, she would like to be an actress. Right now she is working on a program by the Gypsy Kings which she´ll probably perform with a fan and a long skirt that she can take off for the jumps. She said the music is really great because listening to it she can see a story unfold - it thus makes every step meaningful. She was still very exited about her role in "Beverly Hills 9190". So, she told us about that, too. First when she heard they had a role for a figure skater she thought she´d never get it but she still gave the audition a try. They seemed to like her and actually rewrote the role - so that she could play herself and not some figure skater. Pasha felt very honored by this. The filming was done in the rink where she trains so that made her feel a little less nervous. She was rather taken by surprise when she was asked to actually skate a program because she had only started to train as a singles skater very recently. Thus, she improvised to "Frozen" (in memory of the skating with Evgeny). Having all these actors around watching made her feel quite nervous and when they started clapping she said she blushed. Then two of the actors (I am not a 9190- specialist: Dennis or something else with a D??? and Luke or L-something????) came up to her and told her how touched they were by her skating that they had Goosebumps throughout and that they really are "straight" but they just had the urge to tell each other "I love you" when they saw her skate. One could see that Pasha was touched by this, too, and also amused. It was real fun to listen to Pasha. After her talking there was another picture break - this time outdoors. Then there was a little video session - we watched some of Pasha´s and Evgeny´s programs starting with their free dance at the Lillehammer Olypmics. I won´t go into detail here - I guess most figure skating fans know her programs anyhow. Pasha was wondering how the original ribbon of that Olympic medal looked like - as the program was just on when she told us she could not remember what it looked like - she just said something like "Oh, I think we will find out with this being on." - thus, we asked for it not being turned off before the medal ceremony. There were some nice "special features" - one showing parts from programs of Olympic ice dance champions with Evgeny and Pasha commenting on them (mostly that they influenced their skating in many ways) and other figure skating related things. And Povilas Vanagas then very nice commented on Pasha. And there was a German show after Nagano where she appeared at. German TV commentator called Pasha Ice- Goddess. And she asked her about her "rival" Angelika - if hings were really so tough and them in particular being "enemies". There Pasha said that the rivalry was only on the ice, that they are friends from childhood - and when she was asked why the newspapers wrote they hated each other - she commented that they needed stories to tell to make things more interesting to sell them for the readers. My personal favorite part, however, was when Pasha commented on the Olympic 98 free dance. It was just so funny!!! First she told us this little story before of what happened before the free dance. After the warm up they had to wait until they were to skate. So, in that time Evgeny started getting really nervous - he did not used to normally, however. Because Pasha herself was nervous, too, she thus decided not to look at him being white as the wall- but then she looked again he started to make crosses (?) and pray aloud. About then Tatiana Tarassova must have gotten worried too. So, she took a bottle of water and spilled it over Evgeny. He, of course was startled but managed to get a grip on himself. But by then Pasha was rather worried too (the pressure, problems with her wrist, etc.) and started crying. So Tarassova said to her "Do you want a bottle of water, too?" which made her pull herself together again. Still she said the first steps she took on the ice she was just thinking that she should not start to cry. Then she started commenting on the program itself - like the move they were most scared about because it did not work in practice ("I always got stuck when he tried to pull me through his legs."). The places of the program where they talked to each other ("Only one more lift! You are going to manage it!") - being each other's "psychiatrists". With one lift she commented "Here I thought: Now you are going to fall off!". And the point where she knew they had pulled the program through (she has her left hand in a fist - something she did not usually do when skating that program) - and the relief afterwards - eventhough she said she was sure they were going to win. Somewhere in between there was time to thank the sponsors FORTIS (who gave her a cosmonaut jacket? and watch FORTIS and something else), take some more pictures, have her cut the cake, eat cake, etc. and also to chat with her (something I am not THAT good at, though. I told her I hope to see her skate some time - with her telling me that in autumn I may be able to - and that I like the idea of having some "ice dancing" in singles skating. I also asked her when she arrived (she was still jet lagged) how long she is going to be in Germany and she asked me to giver her a call while she is here etc.) But she was in Germany only 6 days. At last some more pictures and then she said good bye to everyone (as I mentioned she was rather jetlagged) and waved to me from the car before I left. Nathalie

Pasha, I have always admired your skating. Your 1998 free dance to Memorial Requiem was wonderful. I hope that you have a great singles career. Melissa Wright

Hi Pasha! I just visited your official infopage, and I must say that it's wonderful! I'm a HUGE fan of yours, and I wanted to wish you good luck in singles skating. Your a wonderful skater, and I can't wait to see you skating singles! I think it's so cool how you respond to your fans messages in the discussion board! I never saw a skater communicate with her fans like that before. Most skaters don't even bother with their fans, but I'm glad that you do just to show that there are some nice skaters out there who care about their fans! You seem to be one of the nicest skaters, and I think it's great that you're not a snob! (Don't you just hate people who are snobs, though? I know that I do!) Anyway, I wanted to thank you for communicating with us fans! I guess I should tell you a little about myself.

Comments:
Hi Pasha! Sorry I haven't written in a while. I don't know if you remember me. I wrote to you earlier about goint to study flute and Russian Folk Music in Russia. Well good news. It has been pretty much decided that I will be going in September 2000 to St Petersburg! I can't wait:) Now, I have to practice my Russian before I get there so that they can understand what I am saying:) I hope everything is good with you:) Zhenya (Jayne po-angliiski:)

Christy, Pasha and all her fans send their commiseration following the loss your sister. Tuesday, 29.06 Pasha visited Sarstedter private music school named under her name "Pasha". Regarding their idol, young musicians promised Pasha always go to their goal and never stop their education learning the art. The winners of the Germans music competitions, students of Sonja Kujawsky were played music from Schostakowitch, Rachmaninov, Hindemith, Bach. Pasha was talking about her life and work in LA and about her future plans. Sitting at the table and eating dessert, children told Pasha about themselves and their very funny stories. At the end everyone has got an autograph and made pictures with Pasha. "Today was one of my happiest day in my life"-said Pasha. New: Fan-Meeting pictures

Comments:
Dear Pasha, We just wanted to thank you for the lovely picture and note you sent us, and also thank you to your family for the pictures sent to us awhile back. It's too bad we were too far away to attend the fan meeting! Thanks for thinking of us. Take care! Love, -M rie & Joe

Hildesheimer Allgemeine Zeitung Interview mit Oksana Gritschuk, zweimal Olympiasiegerin im Eistanzen Eine große Show fürs Publikum Von Tarek Abu Ajamieh Zu Besuch in Sarstedt ist jetzt mit Oksana Gritschuk die zweimalige Olympiasiegerin und viermalige Weltmeisterin im Eistanz (zusammen mit Evgeny Platow) gewesen. Ihre Oma und ihre Tante wohnen in Sarstedt, und mit sporadischen Besuchen erhält die gebürtige, jetzt in Kalifornien lebende Ukrainerin die familiären Bande aufrecht. Seit dem vergangenen Jahr ist die 27jährige Schlittschuhkünstlerin als Profi tätig. Beim jüngsten Besuch in Sarstedt gab Oksana Gritschuk der HAZ ein Interview. HAZ: Sie sind seit einem Jahr Profi. Worin sehen Sie die größten Unterschiede zum Amateur-Status? Gritschuk: Man hat größere künstlerische Freiheiten, denn es gibt keine bestimmten Anforderungen oder Regeln, was man zeigen muß. Es heißt nicht: Du mußt zwei Sprünge in dieser und jener Schwierigkeit machen. Du sollst eine große Show fürs Publikum machen. HAZ: Das heißt, Sie brauchen endlich keine Rücksicht mehr auf die Punktrichter zu nehmen? Gritschuk: Das macht man beim Laufen eh nicht. Die Choreographie ist für die Punktrichter, aber der Vortrag ist für die Zuschauer: Ich habe beim Eistanz immer nur an meinen Partner und ans Publikum gedacht. HAZ: Wie ist eigentlich das Verhältnis unter den Spitzenläufern? Sie und Angelika Krylova sollen sich ja regelrecht hassen? Gritschuk: Bestimmt nicht! Sie ist meine Freundin! Es herrscht sportliche Rivalität, klar. Aber ich habe großen Respekt vor meinen Gegnern - als Sportler und Menschen. Aber die Medien interpretieren Konkurrenz gern als Haß. Es verkauft sich halt besser... HAZ: Wie lange möchten Sie denn noch Eislaufen? Gritschuk: Fünf Jahre bestimmt! Im Solo gibt es noch so viele Möglichkeiten, mich auszudrücken. Verstehen Sie, ich spreche mit meinem Publikum, jeder Schritt ist ein Wort (lacht)... Ja, fünf Jahre noch, das kommt hin. HAZ: Und dann? Gritschuk: Bis dahin hoffe ich eine gute Schauspielerin zu sein und wirklich gute Filmrollen zu bekommen. Ich habe gute Kontakte in Hollywood, aber ich muß noch viel lernen. HAZ: Sie sagten vorhin, daß Sie in Odessa (Ukraine) geboren seien. Wie kommt es, daß Sie für Rußland starten? Gritschuk: Als die UdSSR zerfiel, lebte ich in Moskau. Und ich fühle mich als Russin. HAZ: Sie wohnen jetzt in Kalifornien. Was für ein Verhältnis haben Sie zu Rußland, zumal als Trägerin höchster Orden ihres Heimatlandes? Gritschuk: Es ist meine Heimat, ich habe dort viele Freunde. Aber ich lebe und arbeite in Kalifornien, meine Familie ist in Deutschland - allzu oft bin ich dort nicht mehr. HAZ: Aber Ihre Popularität dort ist ungebrochen. Wie kommt es? Gritschuk: Erstens: In Rußland läuft wirklich jeder Schlittschuh, zumindest in der Jugend. Die Leute sehen meinen Sport mit anderen Augen. Sie sind stolz auf mich, gönnen mir meine Erfolge. Die Russen kennen viel weniger Neid. HAZ: Sie haben ein sehr herzliches Verhältnis zu Ihren Fans? Gritschuk: Was wäre ich ohne sie? Ich meine das ernst: Wenn meine Fähigkeiten niemanden interessieren würden, wo wäre ich dann?

Pasha, I have just received some terrible news, and you and the people here are all I want to talk to right now. My sweet little sister is gone to Heaven. She wasn't my real sister, but that didn't matter to me. I am so sad right now and i dont know what to do. just can't believe this. A few hours ago, I was just happy, going along my life and now. I don't know. I just wanted you to know that I have to go be with my family now and that is why I will not be sending you any messages here for a while. I have no co puter at my other home in Talpa. I love you Pasha. Thank you for every kind word of yours and for all the friends I made here. I will talk to everyone in a few days. Good bye, my friends.

Hi Pasha, I spoke with Michael Rosenberg regarding a film I'm producing with you as one of the leads. I would like to set up a meeting with you and the director when I get back into town after July 7th. Please call me when you get a chance. Take care and I'll speak with you soon.

On June 26th Pasha had her fan meeting at the Residence Boarding House in Sarstedt where she got to personally meet many of the people who have been supporting and admiring her great skating and her personality. The sponsor FORTIS official cosmonauts chronograph presented Pasha their gifts. Photos coming soon! Quotes from Pasha regarding the fan-meeting: "Thank you so much everybody for taking time and coming here for traveling from different cities and countries, (like all the way from Russia, Holland, France!) to meet me. I am very proud for my friends and fans for your support me so much. And thank you Sonja for working so hard and organizing everything perfect!"

Hi y'all! Some may remember that I posted a 'blow-by-blow' account of Pasha's recent appearance on USA T.V.'s show named 'Happy Hour' on June 6th. last. (actually if you scroll down it should still be on this page!). Anyway's I happened to come across a web page from the show dedicated to the 'Living Legend' herself. It shows the beautiful dress she was wearing, nice hair 'cute smile',etc. (need any more prompting?), didn't think so.....here's the Url. http://www.usanetwork.com/series/happy hour/guests/shows/pasha.html Have fun!.

Hello Pasha!!! I got your letter Saturday and the picture you sent is beautiful! I love it very much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will never forget you either. Thank you for your support. I am trying everday to be stronger, and I will win thi fight. I will live!! Hello to all my friends here :-)

Comments:
Hello Pasha, :-) I enjoy watching you skate and look forward to the Fall season, when you will be skating as a singles female skater for the first time! :-). Good Luck! :-). I am in the process of compiling autographs from as many skate s as possible. Then I plan on organizing them into a book of sorts that I will share with my fellow skating fans. In it, it will also have the following comments - how long it took for the skater to respond to my request for an autograph (if at all), if it was personally autographed or not, if there were special words written on it, etc. Thus, if it's not too much of a bother, I would like to request an autograph from you for my 2 year old niece - Selena - and myself. My postal address is as follows:N dine A. White12037-79th Avenue SouthSeattle, Washington 98178U.S.A.Thank You Very Much, Pasha! (:-D

Comments:
Dear Pasha, I have been a figure skating fan for a long time and I just want to tell you that I think you're the best female ice dancer in the world! Your performances are always so exciting! My dauther is a big fan of yours too. A couple of years ago we met you during the Tom Collins Tour and I was really impressed with how you took time to talk to us and all your fans. I know that you must have been very tired after your performance so it was really kind of you to stop for pictures and autographs. You are a very caring person. I just read on your page that you are going to be trying out single skating. Do you have any performances lined up yet? I am really looking forward to seeing you skate singles. Sincerely, Your Fan Gabriella

Comments:
Dearest Pasha,first off though, I want to say how much I enjoy your skating. I also admire you very much. I know first hand what it is like for people to judge you without knowing who you are as a person, and merely listening to other people's words. I congratulate you on still striving for your dreams, no matter what bad people say. You will show them all! I would love an autographed picture, but again I know how busy you must be. Just having you read this email is a thrill to me. Thank you for sharing your incredible gifts with us, and I wish you all the success in the world! Keep reaching for the stars, Pasha!

Comments:
Dear Pasha, I think you are an amazing dancer. I am from the U.S. and I first really started to watch you & Evgeny skate during the 1994 European Championships. I have cheered for you ever since. You were always both so amazing. After watching you, dance has become my favorite part of figure skating. I really started to appreciate all of the tea s after following you in dance for a few years. I think you have done a lot for the sport. I miss you very much! Good luck in the future, and I hope we will see a lot more of you on the ice. Thank you for all the wonderful programs, exciting competitions, and special moments, Terri

Comments:
Dear Ms. Grishuk: I was so impressed by your "Frozen" program on tour last year, I went right out and bought the CD!! I don't think it matters who you skate with, you will ALWAYS be the greatest Ice Dancer in the history of skating, and I can't wait to see you perform again!!! Thank you again so much for being such a beautiful, bright light in the world of skating - You're the best!! Warmest Regards

Dearest Pasha and family,
I'm really looking forward to meet all of you! It's all I can think of these last couple of days and I will try to get a lot of rest, so I will be strong at the fanmeeting. And I'm looking forward to meet all the other Pasha fans. It will be so great to t lk to people who share my love for Pasha.
Dear Christy,
How are you? I'm keeping you in my prayers and I hope you will feel better every single day. As for FSW: No, Pasha topics aren't banned and hopefully it will never happen! It's a shame that there aren't any topics at FSW like last year. I met a lot of fri nds through the topics "Pasha Fans, Pasha Fans II and Pasha Fans III", but this message board is just as great as FSW.
Love,
Anushka.

Comments:
I just wanted you to know how much support you are getting from fans reference 90210 and how much all of us believe they should have you on again with a much bigger part. We think they should expand on the ice battle that should have taken place. We think it should be a permanant part where you are on the show a lot. Love you very much. Jim

Comments:
Greetings to everyone! Dearest Pasha, I am finally back here at the site. I figured it all out, sorry for the confusion of my last e-mail to you. Your support and friendship is so greatly appreciated. Did anyone here of the possibility of the banning of P sha related posts to FSW? I know they banned any postings about Tara Lipinski, but I wandered if this was a rumor? I don't post there yet, but was hoping to register soon. However, if I can't speak of Pasha, what would be the point? Anushka and Lena, how re you two gals? I will write to you soon. I am working on a very special poem for you Pasha. I will send it to you when it is done. I hope to see everyone posting again soon, I miss the chatter! Take care everyone!!

Thanks to 'Sally' for putting lots of comments from Pasha on the board I've been doing a little 'research' myself. Most of the quotes came from a 'phone interview' that Pasha gave to 'American Skating World' a couple of months ago. It's rather a long article and the copy that I received could just be read and no more, so I can't post it here. However for those who would like to read same (it's very good and sets a lot of things straight) contact the ASW at: www.americansk8world.com , asking for the 'Pasha phone interview' back issue (probably April or May)- my copy doesn't say. Unfortunately the articles on the ASW website are over a YEAR old!. (I'm not joking) so you'd need to wait till this time 'next' year if you want to see it there. There's also a short interview with 'U' know who, if you would like to read that also. P.S. another site that might interest you is: www.usfsa.org (United States Figure Skating Association). Bye for now!.

Comments:
I agree with 'Anna','Bevelusha' and the others who have said (quite correctly) that this 'message board' is for FANS of Pasha! There are many other outlets available to those who do not share our interests. I for one am getting tired of the 'propaganda' c ming out of the 'U' camp. Unfortunately most people (the public) are so busy living their lives they do not take the time to find out 'the truth' they mostly believe what they hear first. Having thought about it, I feel that Pasha herself should stay abov 'the fray' and only answer questions put to her , NOT creating new ones. I know that's difficult but her true fans will always make sure her side of the story is told. Let Pasha do her talking, where she excels, on the ice!. When she dazzles 'them' with er new routines 'they' will have to cease with their nonsense once and for all. 'Success is the best revenge and is a dish best served cold'(paraphrasing). Let's wish Pasha a wonderful 'fan meeting' in Hanover and a safe return!.

Comments:
I agree, let's move on to what this site is intended to be. A place to discuss all things "Pasha". How about this...what music would we like to see Pasha skate to? Any suggestions? I like Funeral for a Friend by Elton John. Strong, many different temp s. What about you guys?? Anna

Comments:
Hi, Friends! Pasha's board certainly fills up quickly, doesn't it? Elenna, you are correct. Pasha has moved on with her life. I know, we all know, that this season she will bring many delightful surprises to the skating audience because her talent on the ce is enormous. Bev

Comments:
Thank you Sally for putting it here! I was struck with the costume of Us-a in one of their numbers. I've seen only photos, so I cannot say anything about lifts and so on. How DARED she to wore it???...I don't understand. She must have no heart and it real y shows who she is. Anyway let's try not to speak about her any more. She doesn't deserve to be mention here. It must have been a nightmare for Pasha to live last year and this is wonderful that she mooved on and I think the less we speak about U the bett r Pasha will be. My best wishes to everyone!!! Love, Elenna

Comments:
Maureen don't you think your writing makes Usova reputation worse? I am sure Pasha has no time either no internees discuss with you at this board about Usova. That Usova went to Moscow to trying to get role in film about her life-it's a fact. Not just ska ers have given critic about that, but Russian journalists as well. Another question if she was kicked from there like from COI. About Usova misinformation you can find answer here. I've putted them together from few Pasha interviews."...since I'm a resea cher I've been going through every article written by US newspapers & magazines to see what Usova misinformation has been written..." Here are some of them: " In the last time there were many Usova interviews , with the support of her own publicist, who was trying to make our (G/P) fans and audience sorry for her and forgive her doing, which had given results in two broken couples. She used to build for her elf the image of a "woman with a broken family", in reality all this family was only a mirage. But I am proud about my fans, about the people who can exactly separate between true and false, the people who have the true information about me and these peo le make my life happier. It is in my work on the ice only that I could find an alternative to the atrocities that were interfering from Usova outside. What I do know is how to work on the ice and how to skate. She knows how to deal with press. I chose the way to give all my energy to the work, not complaining over the media, never "washed dirty laundry". But the more, I kept my mouth shut, the more "fairy tales" she brought. I never had anything to do with her "broken family", it had been broken long be ore I appeared - Zhulin started to pay court to me as they had already had the separate apartments and their own life. He was after me several months and made me fall in love. Of course I believe everything he told me, I was completely in love with him. He was my first man and I had no other experience with men. One and half years before Oly-94, in 1992, he asked me to stop skating; he had promised me to get married with me after he had won the Olympic Gold and bought a wedding ring for me. It happened n San Francisco, where we were on tour. Usova witnesses about this situation differently, she confirms that "it was Zhulin's ring". She was never a friend of mine, she could have never even seen this ring so closely as to recognize what kind of ring I had. Besides, Zhulin had had enough money so as to buy another and not give me the former one of his wife. More of that Usova was in alcohol. She came in to the bar after a dinner with her boyfriend, where I was with other skaters. I had a new, beautiful dress on and was after the hairdresser. Sh was very jealous, because she always wanted to be the queen, she wants that everybody gives attention only to her . Even this small episode says about her intelligence and diplomacy. I did nothing, I was just crying and went with some skaters to my hote room, although the people around me suggested to call the police. Maybe it would have been the right decision, and maybe there will be never any other incidents from her in future. But how do you know. Now Usova explains this episode in each her intervi w, making a hero of herself and turning that into profit to her site. What about Usova personalities I have to add in her own words: "...suddenly I felt really alone and understood that I'd abandoned mama. Since I've get married, I had not written or called her". As to her father - she hasn't been on his grave for more than 18 years. She left Zhulin abruptly after 17 years of skating partnership and the same she did with her old coach Dubova. Though she committed a great deal of success with both, she portrayed them in the press in darkest hues. . Usova to "Moskovski Komsomoletz", 17 January 1999: "...That Sasha no longer exists in real life. For a long time now. He disappeared before the affair with Grishuk ..." Please be a judge for these several facts. To "Moskovski Komsomoletz" from 17 January 1999 Usova has given an interview "... Moreover, Robert de Niro himself fell in love with her....The tears from De Niro's eyes still haven't dried, and the greatest of ollywood were just struck down with grief ..." I met Robert de Niro only once in my life in Paris while auditioning for ROMIN. I met there many actors. Where from has she got this information - it's a question to me. Or in the same interview Usova say : "...Then Grishuk found a new love object ... at any rate an old ... he displayed her a diamond ring." She knows this man, he is a big fan and friend of mine, he is 28 years old (7 years younger that she) and I never said anything about our wedding, as U ova confirms. She has better explain about her nearly 70 years old boyfriend. In another interview in Russia Usova said that I took not only "her husband", but her partner as well. That's the way she works. After her interview to "KP Sport" there was an a ticle by Yulia Tulupova "... the persisting Oddesiter has reached what she wanted. From now on Grishuk and Zhulin skate together". To Americans Usova tells the fairy tale which had taken place in Russia, and in Russia she tells what happened in America. I have not all the things now in my memory she had given in interviews., but there are much more. After Usova lost any chance of the gold, she started somehow to build an image of herself and because in America nobody knew what had really happened in Russia, she put together a story for her image, which she played perfectly. When in September 1998 Usova came to Marlboro, where I and Evgeny were practicing for Olympic, I had a bad felling straight away. Every morning she'd stand at the entrance doors smoking nearly to my face, and making fun of me with a fake laugh. She'd go t the practice and watch our skating and after the practice she'd go to Evgeny. I found out now that behind my back Usova had already made modeling pictures and planned to skate with my partner. She also spread several rumors about me in this time. One was that I was "sopped by police with drugs in my car trunk", which is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. . I was then supposed in hiding away, unable to train for the while... Since that time was more and more different intriegs coming from Usova, I was just stocked from he . I don't see any reason for Evgeny to stop skating with me except Maya couple. got involved and a few people, who support her in their financial reason.. She "poured petrol" in our insults. These occurrences almost broke my heart - it was a time when I as on the edge of committing a suicide. But Evgeny is also become a victim of our broken To loose in technique after two Olympics Gold to Bourne/Kraatz and to Punsalan/Swallow-I don't think it was the dream of his hard work over than 20 years. It's happened that I forced to ask our director to loose me from Usova and not let her come to our training. This situation was by Usova's publicist description, as I don't like other skaters on the same ice , which is completely wrong. She broke me and Michael-my boyfriend up, following us everywhere, making up bad rumors. Usova "information" about how I've broken my hand "Pasha was working at jumps" is completely wrong. I took so many difficulties from our program, as possible. I just wanted that Evgeny will be healthy after his knee operation". Maureen is that enough? "It was thoroughly interesting for me to see that Usova had the same suitcostume I wore during the last show "Frozen", she had her hair cut the same way I have had last year and the lifts they did were the ones Evgeny and I had invented before."

Comments:
Hi everyone! I just wanted to say, THANK YOU Christy for sharing with us your feelings. Again it shows that Pasha is a great, caring person, with a beautiful heart and soul. Another thing that I wanted to say is that i changed my e-mail from [email protected] to [email protected] best wishes to everyone!!! Love, Elenna.

To Maureen: I think, first, who have to move on it's YOU Maureen, you just cannot give yourself a rest. And I find it sick. I don't want to start arguing with you here on this board. This place is not for you. And my advice for you, don't write here any more, YOUR op nion is not of interest to anyone here.

Maureen, You obviously haven't read the Moskovski Komsomoletz article. This isn't an American article but it got translated and appeared on almost all FS boards. This article along side the Komsomolskaya Pravda (also known as "the Black Cat" article) were full of ies. Maybe Pasha should get the lies presented in these articles straight once and for all. These articles were just very vicious and she can move on with her life ( And she HAS), but those articles will keep haunting her forever. These articles are publi hed and will remain in the archives forever. Anushka

Comments:
My message is in reference to the post left by Maureen on 6/15. I think you may have misinterpreted the meaning of Pasha's message. She was not spreading rumors, only recounting her conversations backstage with the COI skaters. When she said "nobody" k ew where Evgeny was she was referring to the skaters she spoke with - not the entire universe. As for the Maya misinformation, there are two sides to every story. Maya has given her side several times (Blade Magazine, Brennan's book). To my knowledge, he only time Pasha has given hers is on this site. It is obvious that Pasha has moved on. She is training in singles and considering her options. If can't commiserate here, on this site with her fans where can she? Give the girl a break huh?

Comments:
Hello everyone! Pasha, thanks again for all of your support and encouragement. It means so much. To my new friend Anushka - thanks for your kindness and I will keep you in my prayers too. I loved your poems...I will send you some of mine soon. I feel a ne life is coming and I am so happy I can be here and make new friends who shares my love for Pasha and skating.

Hi Pasha! How you doing? I haven't really been on the internet for a while since I wrote to you last time. Thank you for writing a note to me a couple of days of ago. Its ok if I didn't recieve an autograph. A note was great enough from you. I saw y u on 90210 last month. You were great. I know it was a small part, but at least I got to see you skate. It was wonderful to see again on the ice. Hope everything is alright with you and I'll write soon again. Bye.

Dear sweet Pasha, Hello again! I want to thank you so much for you kindness and your support. I will not soon forget it and I will forever be grateful... I would like to share with you all the e-mail that I sent to Pasha recently... Hello. My name is Christy Chantaca and I am a great and loyal fan for you. I love your skating sooo much and I respect you dedication and passion for the sport. I have been a skating fan for so many years and no one other skater has ever touched me as dee ly and effectively as you. You have given me so much without even knowing it! There was a time when I would have given up and died. I hated this life that much and I was crying all the time. The only thing I can do is watch the tapes of you skating an mak me feel better for a little while. I didn't know what to do. Then I started to visit this web site and through reading the message board and learning more about you and your life I have found strength. You really care about us, your fans and that means s much to us. Most skaters never take time to e-mail their fans or respond to the message boards. You are so dear and special to us. I am especially thankful because you bring me happiness and smiles, even when I don't think I can keep living. I live each ay to see the tapes or you or to read the articles and visit your web site. I pray for day when I can meet you in person. I wish I can come to the fan meeting, but I live in the US..a very small town here. Maybe someday...I pray this. Pasha, thank you for being who you are and sharing so much with all of us who loves you. Please take care of yourself and always be happy, because we will always love you. After this e-mail, Pasha e-mailed me back and told to me never to give up and to look at the sun, the sky, the trees...she has given me hope once again. That's why she is the greatest! Because she cares about us and she shares with us! Thanks Pasha! I am forever grateful. all my love always, Christy

Dear Dobre, you are right, the music for Moliengo Cafe 89/90 was SAMBA.The original for 90/91was BLUES. I hope to meet you one day. All the best to all you! Always with LOVE to my friends and fans Pasha.

Hello everyone! Tonight I watched a video of the 1994 World Championship Exihibion skate, and again I found Pasha. The song was "I will always love you". I confess I had to watch the tape several times because its impossible for me to listen to that song when its as unexpected as it was) without tears making my eyesight blurred. Pasha did a beautiful back spiral, a back spin then a lunge to Evgeny. The lifts were elegant, toes pointed. The expression was very dramatic, convincing - loving. The costumes we e simple and appropriate. Oh, and Evgeny was good too!

Hello again. I guess that I should READ all the notes from the webmaster before I keep asking my posts to work. Sigh. Anyway, Pasha can you tell me what type of original dance Moliendo Cafe was? Marika's webpage says you used it for the 89/90 original dance. Also, what was the OD for the 90/91 season and what did you skate to for that? Have a good time with everyone who can go to L.A. Wish I could be there. Maybe someday you'll come skate in Portland, Oregon; Spokane, Washington, or somewhere near here. I will definitely be the first to order tickets then.

Hello Pasha! Last night I was fortunate enought to come across the show Happy Hour while I was surfing around the channels. I was like, "Hmm, that looks like Pasha." And I started watching and it was you! I enjoyed that very much and you looked soooo beau iful there. I like the style of your hair now. You looked like you were having fun dancing and singing. I wish that I could of heard you talk more. I love to hear you talk English and you've gotten soo good at it. I hope you have a fan meeting in the US s metime...I'll definately move all mountains to be there! God Bless You!

Comments:
Dearest Pasha, I love reading your messages here, from you and from all your fans! It is so wonderful for us to have a personal connection with you. How are your jumps now? Are you working on doubles or triples? I am trying to learn my first lutz now. It is so hard to reach my right foot so far behind - I feel like my body is all twisted, but I keep practicing this. Did I tell you, I'll be starting pairs skating tomorrow!! I have a new partner, so I am really excited to skate with someone. You are such a sweet person and I loved your letter - I just got it yesterday! I wish I could meet you, but I don't think I would be lucky enough to go to LA. Maybe one day you'll be in the South again, like J.P. Pros. I hope you have a great time with all your fans in Germany. I know Anushka will write a full report for us and I can't wait to see some new pictures!!! Take Care and God bless you always, Yulia. P.S. Dear Pasha's Mom, Thank you so much for the stories about Pasha's childhood! I love reading them so much. Please write some more soon!

Comments:
Pasha and Fans, THIS IS WHY YOU ARE SO SPECIAL, Yesterday I skated on a public session with about 3 other adults, all of a sudden A female olympic gold medalist and national female competitor showed up, they were so distant and you certainly got the impression that were ondering what Adults were doing skating and why were they on the same ice with these no talent adults. So as I am sure they had hoped we cleared the ice and left them to there selfs. It was a shame we would have really enjoyed watching there talent I c uld not help but think how different american's seem to treat there fans. So in a nutshell, that is WHY WE LOVE YOU, and makes you so different from other skaters.

Comments:
Pasha - I'm glad you remember me! I thought I mentioned my name but I was so excited to meet you that I was just babbling on and on!! I didn't want to take up too much of your time. I am so glad that you were able to see your friends at the show. I tho ght about you and how it must be hard to watch others do what you want to do. Don't worry. I have faith that you will come back strong!!! You are planning a fan get together in LA? That would be wonderful. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help plan/organize this. Have a great time in Germany! Anna

Comments:
Dear Pasha, I always wanted to express my admiration and esteem for you, and if I'm doing it only now and here, it's for two reasons. The first one is that at the time of FSW discussions, when I discovered the board, i.e. last fall, I was disagreeably struck by a sto m of negative reactions almost every positive post about you seemed to give rise to. Several times I was tempted to post a message which would try to explain to those who aggressed you through the board that they were wrong (though I'd better say "manipul ted") in their judgment and tactless in their behaviour, but each time I feared that my message would just multiply insulting remarks about you, thus doing you more harm than good. Then I discovered this site and, almost at the same time, Norbert and Anus ka's site dedicated to you; but I left my job few days after that (I was using my professional Internet connection) and it took me nearly three months to get one at home - buying a new PC, switching on to another phone line etc. But now I'm back and just wanted to say how much I admired you during all your career. I was brought up in Kiev, and have always known and loved figure-skating, but your performances have completely changed my conception of it showing that there can be an ther level and dimension to the ice-dancing, one that was never reached before and I doubt it would be one day (but we never know…). I also know people in Geneva who had never been interested in figure-skating before seeing you and Platov perform, and who further came to love this sport (BTW, my husband is one of them!), and many others who never surf on internet but range you between the most extraordinary figure-skaters ever. I wanted to let you know that because I'm sure you have much more admirers all ver the world than you probably suspect. When I'm a little tired and dispirited, I just put a videotape with an almost full selection of your performances (Norbert had an extreme kindness to send me one - thank you again, Norbi, if you are reading this) and it makes me feel better; there is such a radiance about you, there is such an eagerness to fight and live and win that it simply cannot leave you apathetic. I'm sure you'll make a superb single skater if you decide to continue this way; and even if you don't you are already part of history. (I tried to send you an e-mail but had a problem during transmission so that I don't know whether you received it or not; it was a bit longer than that message) Thank you for being there Svetlana

I wish all the best for everybody!!! Always with LOVE, Pasha.

Hi Pasha, I am using the e-mail address on my mother's office computer this summer. I haven't memorized the address yet. For those of you who think Grishuk & Platov were CLEARLY the greatest dance team of the decade, please go fill in the Blades On Ice pole. They were originally left off the list all together which gave me the instant desire to make sure all of you voted. The address is: http://www.bladesonice.com/mag/voteSOTD.htm

I just wanted all Pasha fans to know that I attended the Los Angeles Champions on Ice on Saturday, and as I was walking the halls during intermission I looked ahead and saw...PASHA!!! She was walking with a very nice looking man and she looked absolutely lovely. I was so startled and screamed "Pasha"! She stopped and looked at me and I was so shocked I just kept walking!! My friend said "Let's go get our programs" which we had left at our seats and we ran back, retrieved the programs and went back to f nd Pasha. We found her again and asked her if she would mind signing for us. She was so sweet and nice, signed our programs and told us that she is working on her singles skating. I was so excited that I just babbled on and on. My apologies to you Pas a for being so incoherent but I was so surprised and pleased to see you!!! Only later did I realize that I should have brought my camera with me!! Oh well, I have her signature and the memory. Thank you so much Pasha, you made my day!!!

Hi,Pasha! This weekend I wanted to look at video of old skating events, and so I went in search of Oksana and Evgeny. I'm not finished looking yet, but so far the earliest that I enjoyed was from the '92 Albertville Olympic Exhibition Skate. You had on a lowing pink dress. Your hair was long, and your smile so pretty. It was a blues number, a song called "Come a little closer. Make love to me!" At one point, you shook your left leg as you were being pulled across the ice! It seemed like a playful and flir atious dance, and I don't know how your arms were not all bruised from being pulled around. You were fearless even then. I am hoping that you will notify all of us fans of any and all television appearances. I am sorry that I missed seeing the game show t at Jay told us about. My VCR is ready for Pasha! Love you, Bevelusha.

*** PASHA SIGHTING!***. No, unfortunately not in person - at least not yet, but that too may be sooner rather than later. I read some six weeks ago that Pasha was appearing on a T.V. show called 'Happy Hour'. I've been watching this 'wild & crazy' show d tifully since then, to no avail - and NO Pasha - until last night!. If you don't mind I'll describe 'Happy Hour' for those of Pasha's friends overseas who do not see the show. Imagine a circular studio with a stage and a live band with twenty go-go dancer (at twelve o'clock). Then there are about 100 female audience members seated to the left and with about 100 male audience members to the right. In front of the females is a crescent shaped table with five lady 'celebrities'(four t.v. actresses + you know who!'), ditto for the males. At the top , below the band sit 'two moderators' (very loosely described!). The whole scene is kind of 'Austin Powers' inspired sixties disco; O.K. now the scene is set. The idea is that points are awarded (in a totally haphaz rd fashion - making no sense at all) to either team by their singing a song correctly or answering a question or just 'letting it all hang out' (laissez les bon temps roullet!).The 'moderators' are sons of rocker 'Frank Zappa'; one plays guitar (Dweezil) nother has a shaven head and sings & dances crazy (Ahmet(?)). Into this scene come our Pasha!. Looking very glamorous in a lilac (color matches her (old) skating boots) , almost full length,I guess halter top dress with straps. Wearing black high-heeled b ots. Beautiful mid length blond hair and well madeup.The first 'contest' was for the ladies team to sing a sixties kinda rock-n-roll song and act 'happy' (the show IS called Happy Hour!) at the same time, dancing around mostly. Pasha (of course) could 'di co' better than the others!. Why should we be surprised?, and she generally seemed to have a good time. Other 'contests' involved 'guess that tune',etc. The show lasted on hour though I understand it took three hours to shoot. Well now I've finally seen T E show thank goodness, and at long last. Now my saturday 'vigil' is over I can get back to normal!.(open to interpretation!). Anyways, regards to all.

I'm sure we all agree with the sentiments expressed by 'Claudia...Granillo' from the town of Senora in Mexico. I am no Spanish scholar (and no doubt one of Pasha's friends can write a literal translation) but she writes 'To her dearest Pasha' saying she loves Pasha' and in her opinion is 'one of the World's best skaters'. Loved 'Pasha's routines in Nagano' and it's important to her that 'Pasha continue with her skating' and wishes her 'all the best from a lady from Senora, Mexico'. TO CLAUDIA: I'm very sure that Pasha will say 'Muchos Gracias a qui'. Vaya con Dios'.

Me encanta Pasha Grishuk. No hay una mejor patinadora en el mundo. Los rusos son los mejores patinadores de todo el mundo, pesele a quien le pese. Admiro a Pasha por su gran profesionalismo. Tengo los videos de sus presentaciones en Nagano y nunca me canso de verlos. Algún me gustaría, si es que no puedo conocerla, recibir y consevar algún recuerdo de ella. Al primero que lea este mensaje, quiero que sepa que para mí sera muy importante que Pasha supiera lo que piensa su admiradora desde las cálidas tierras del Estado de Sonora en México. Gracias. Te admiro Pasha.
