Oksana Grishuk

She currently resides in Los Angeles, California with her daughter, Skyler Marie Grace Grishuk.

They competed one more season and won bronze at the Grand Prix International de Paris (now known as Trophée Eric Bompard).

[4] Grishuk was invited to join Natalia Dubova's group where she was partnered with Evgeni Platov.

They then left Russia and moved with Linichuk to Newark, Delaware for better training and living conditions.

In 1996, Grishuk and Platov split from Linichuk and moved to Tatiana Tarasova in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

[6] Injury kept them out of competition in the first half of the 1996–97 season but they returned to win their second European and fourth World title.

In 1997–98, Grishuk and Platov used Memorial Requiem by Michael Nymann for the music in their free skating program and dedicated it to the people of Sarajevo.

Writer and figure skating historian Ellyn Kestnbaum called it "an intense, relentless, abstract free dance".

At the event, they were slashed in a practice collision with Anjelika Krylova and Oleg Ovsiannikov but were not seriously hurt and both teams said it was an accident.

[9] Grishuk and Platov competed at their third Olympics in 1998 in Nagano, where they became the first ice dancers to repeat as gold medalists.

[6] They were entered in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1998 for becoming the only team in the history of ice dancing to win Olympic gold twice.

Grishuk and Platov combined speed and difficult elements, and displayed their mastery of numerous styles of dance.

[12] In 1994, Russian President Boris Yeltsin awarded Grishuk with a government medal of Friendship for highest achievement in sport.

Grishuk and Platov reunited in February 2008 in Nagano, Japan for their ten-year anniversary of winning the 1998 Olympic gold medal.
