12 Days of Christmas: Day 12: Klimova and Ponomarenko's "Romeo and Juliet"


The husband and wife team of Marina Klimova and Sergei Ponomarenko have always been known for their flair for the dramatic, innovative lifts, and classical, passionate skating. The Russian team is also the only figure skaters, in any discipline, to win Olympic medals in every color. They won bronze in the 1984 games, silver in 1988, and gold in 1992.

In 1995, Klimova and Ponomarenko performed this captivating performance to "Romeo and Juliet." My family was fortunate enough to witness it live at a Champions on Ice show in Philadelphia. It was mesmerizing! This performance transcends skating and becomes drama on ice.
