Grinkov is 21, and his tastes run to books and ice hockey, while Gordeeva likes to collect toys, sew and surprise her teammates with batches of home-baked cookies. "We just practice together," says Grinkov. Romantics can take heart that perhaps it is just the age difference. Gordeeva is, after all, only 16. With her wide-eyed fawn...
