Pasha’s Oksana Grishuk Golden Way began at 1994, when the whole world has watched as she won Gold
Medals again and again in every competition she skated, until the end of her brilliant eligible career in 1998 and captured audience hearts. These competitions included Five Gold Medals in World Championships and
Two Olympic Gold Medals in Lillehammer, Norway 1994 and Nagano, Japan 1998.
People love Pasha because she has a champion's heart and is always showing us beauty and fantasy on the
ice, as well as giving her all. Pasha was skating for second Olympic Gold Medals not for herself, but for the
evolution of the sport she loves, for the history. How can we forget Nagano, when she skated with a broken arm and with incredible pain inside but with a sweet smile on her beautiful face? She was skating these
Olympic games for millions of people, all over the world, for the Olympic Games very existence which are a Symbol of peace and friendship between all peoples of the world.
Therefore Ms. Pasha Oksana Grishuk deserved her TWO very prestigious Russian Government's Biggest Orders, given by the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin in the Kremlin: "Supreme Order of
Friendship of Nations" in March, 1994 and as a heroine of our time Ms. Pasha Oksana Grishuk was awarded in
February 1998 with the most prestigious Orders: "Order for Great Services Performed for the Fatherland Third Class" (which is the highest degree)!
This was the first time any ice-dancing team had repeated as Gold Medallists and this amazing string of successes; along with her world championships, proved Ms. Pasha Oksana Grishuk is the Greatest female
ice-dancer the world has ever seen.
