Gordeeva & Grinkov (URS) - 1989 World Figure Skating Championships, Pairs' Free Skate

CBS Sports Saturday and the World Figure Skating Championships for Paris. I'm Tim Ryan with Scott Hamilton and Pat O'Brien. Gordeeva and Grinkov about to skate in the Pairs Free Skating Finals. Gordeeva said before the championship she was nervous because they hadn't competed in a full year. But they won the original program by a wide margin. The scores for Technical Merit. I'm surprised, I thought they would have been higher. Every lift, every jump, every throw, perfect. I'm surprised they're not higher. Why no sixes? Well there's still a few skaters left and the judges tend to leave room for those skaters. The marks for artistic impression. Well some nines there. All nines for 1.8. I like the fact that there was never a foot, a head or an arm out of place. It really was a wonderful performance and they're still improving. So the Canadians Cindy Landry and Lyndon Johnston will be next to skate when we return. Watch it.
