Figure skating has had its crass moments, but they never resided in the gilded personages of Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov. The adored husband-and-wife duo won Olympic gold together in '88 and '94. A year ago, their idyll ended when Grinkov, 28, died of heart failure during a practice session. Writing a memoir, which has 466,000 copies in print after 4 pressruns, has helped Gordeeva heal somewhat; she's returned to the ice -- alone, and with friends.
