Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir 2010 Vancouver Olympics Free Dance (Ice Dance Champion) Music: Symphony No.5 by Gustav Mahler arranged by Ryner Stoetzer Total Score 110.42 Executed Elements 53.10 Factored Program Components 57.32 1st place
I had the amazing and great fortune to be there live. Everyone was quiet. Everyone around me whether they were Canadian or Chinese or Japanese or Russian, we all knew we were watching one of the most beautiful and special things in the world. Deep down, we all knew we were watching the gold medal performance. The TV viewing audience knew about their Gold before them and us. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Thank you Virtue and Moir.
It's a beautiful performance, but except for Tessa and Scott's skilled skating I don't think it's a very original performance. I think Marina Anissina & Gwendal Peizerat "Romeo and Juliette" and "Esmeralda" are more memorable as program compositions.
@@cathyzhang7146its because of the music. the music has an almost religious feeling than most of the ice dances. Bolero had the same kind of espiritual depth
It didn't even feel like a routine. It felt like it was their own world and we were all just lost in it. I don't think I've ever been so engrossed in a skating performance and this is coming from someone who just discovered them yesterday.
А я их открыла для себя лишь позавчера..!!!!. Почему я раньше не знала их???!!!! И видя их танец, их взгляды, их чувства , их искренние эмоции наполняюсь счастьем... Восхищение..

Nows day Howied set 4 clean aices cant trowed that bastard how we play skied ball ................... Who idea pura3 kan falen fucking trick ..... wanna knoed my feet at that days 5 year lagi lol
watching this feels like your intruding, they skate like no ones watching and it looks so personal to them... its strange to watch because not too many skating partners can do that! and they make it look so easy :)
Only one thing i,m worried, is what if he drop her head first? Its very dangerous, its your life thats more important than winning. So if i was them, i,ll have a break now.
The way they look at each other even before they start skating is remarkable. These two really have a connection & chemistry & it’s like they’re giving each other special vibes. One of the reasons why they work so well together.
I just found out that this piece is a tribute to gordeeva's celebration of a life for her late husband Serguei in 1996 since both couples had the same choreographer Marina Zueva, and it makes this program even more beautiful and meaningful than it already is on its own
Wow!! Never saw like that but it could be quite true! Everytime I watched them dance looked like they were born to dance together! So lucky to have them dance in this era!
Hi, I just saw this comment. They really are soulmates in my opinion. There's no doubt. Even if they didn't end up together, they're souls will forever he with each other.
Неужели на них одеты коньки, я не вижу, как будто летают на небесах, какое скольжение, какая красота, какие красивые, завораживает, хочеться смотреть, смотреть, и ты забываешь все, и они говорят в танце жизнь прекрасна, , любите, живите в любви во всех ее прявлениях.....
I freely admit that when the Olympics started, I was rooting for the Americans out of respect for my country. But as soon as these two started skating, my heart belonged to them. This was the most breathtakingly exquisite dance I've ever seen on ice. Absolutely magical from start to finish!
It doesn’t matter what country you are from or live in! Yes…….I am very proudly Canadian, but I would give accolades to any other skating team in the world that can skate like they did! So very proud of them and absolutely amazed! True dedicated professionals! Go Canada go! 👏👏❤️
It’s 2019 and this remains as one of the most beautiful and complex programs, it’s full of intricate lifts and steps. There are skaters who even now can’t get close to that level of brilliance.
She, particularly, has that rare talent to let the music fill her body and let it go out of her fingers and toes and eyes and head and swirl around about them and he just lives it.
Odd question: but do you consider yourself to be a good person? Because the Bible is very clear that “there is none good. No, not one”. I mean you can test it for yourself. Just look at the 10 commandments: - have you ever lied? - stolen something no matter how small irrespective of value? - used God’s name in vain? - look at another person with the lust (which Jesus said is like commuting adultery with them in your heart)? If you have - then you are like the rest of us: a lying, thriving, blasphemous adulterer-at-heart. And that’s just 4 of the commandments! And so I ask you, on judgment day will you go to heaven or hell? Dear friend I want you to go to heaven. Yet please understand that God, who judges murders and rapists, does such a good job that he must also judge our evil. We deserve hell. But do you know what God did for guilty sinners like me and you so that we don’t have to go to hell? He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us that whoever shall believe on Him will not die but have everlasting life. Think of it like going to court for a speeding ticket but someone else pays the fine. The judge can now legally let you go. That’s was Jesus did. He was God manifest in the flesh and He payed your fine. . Please consider these words and take your salvation seriously - your eternity is at stake here. Turn to God, cry out to Him, ask for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and follow after Him. He will free you from sin and change you. He is faithful and kind but be not mistaken - He will punish sinners because He is holy. So, when will you get right with God? Today is the day of salvation. Pray. Read your Bible (a good book to start is John and if you don’t have a copy you can always download an app) and trust in God. If your heart is sincere, He will reveal Himself to you. Wishing you all the best friend ❤️
0:23 the look, the closeness, the tenderness. That's a beautiful connection. My tendency is to look at her but watch Scott from the beginning of the video until he has to turn away to take the opening stance... he looks at her virtually the entire time 0:28 When he guides her in and they touch foreheads, I melt. His tender stroke down her back and arm... his gaze
@@pastanoodle6714 watch from minute 8:22 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NaMaM4orwIA.html. Tessa developed a lesion similar to the compartmental syndrome, which produces a lot of pain. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S2W1zPk_Fb4.html
@pasta noodle she skated with a serious injury for years called compartment syndrome. She hid it from the media because she thought that it could influence their score. She had a second surgery later that year. The first surgery she had a few years prior didn't give her much relief. She had it done on both legs on her shins and calfs at the same time and that is no joke! They literally gash open the limbs to make room for the muscles so they can expand properly.
I'm still mesmerized the way they performed. Two elegant performers who gracefully executed the difficult steps. For me they will remain as the best performers in the skating world. The champion among the champions. My only regret as a fan is that they did not end as a real couple but I have to accept it. Their performance will always be treasured and cherished by me. They will remain as the two legends in ice skating. Thank you for making your fans happy. From the Philippines.
i was eight years old when i first watched this in my grade 3 class in 2010... it was absolutely one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen, and then their final skate in 2018 blew it out of the water. i miss these guys so much, i'm so proud to have been able to watch them throughout their olympic careers ❤️❤️❤️
You know what is so great about these 2...they don't go for fancy gimmicky costumes...quite plain and simple ..Scott favors all black or black and white..Tessa's are pretty, but easy to move in...they concentrate on the DANCE, on the connection to each other and to their perfect symmetry and unison....consummate professionals..SO proud they are Canadian
Clearly Tessa is a superb skater. Scott doesn't always get the credit he deserves. Tessa said Scott is great at conveying feelings or the mood. He is. He was all fierce and passion and sharpness in the compulsory and OD because that's the character he was playing. He's all softness and graceful arms, hooded eyes gazing lovingly in the FD.
Indeed. My parents are dancers (not on ice tho), they always say to look at the male partner in dance. If he leads her like he should, takes care of her during dancing, and makes her shine or make her the star of the dance without putting himself too much in the spotlight you have a good one. And THAT is exactly what he does! Combine that with Tessa and you have Gold!
@@TheLookylookhe is such a secure partner. She can fly in absolute trust that he'll catch her. And he is a beautiful dancer in his own right. They are perfectly matched.
I almost cried... that was so beautiful... All the lifts and exits were so seamless. It has to be that Scott is a very strong man. How much can she possible weigh. This is so amazing. They are so beautiful so look at.
Wesley Nicholls and note: she is a healthy well toned woman, no anorexia there, amen to that. Yes, he is strong, but she is also keeping herself tight, so it is easier for him to lift.
A mi me grada ver estos eventos que maravillos y a mi me agrada verlos sobre tdo el.evento.sobre hielo.xq me hace acordar a mi.QUERIDICIMO.

I love Moulin Rouge and all of their amazing work throughout the years but for me this piece gets me every time! It brings me to tears, it’s so beautiful!
this is my favourite thing i’ve ever watched. watching this just feels so heartwarming. it all seems so intimate. this is my favourite performance ever!! everything about it is beautiful. words cannot describe it. just magnificent.
I've watched so many ice dancing couples over the last 50 years, many of whom have been exceptional, but this routine is in a league of its own. It just took my breath away.
It’s mind boggling how easy they make this look!! The detail is absolutely amazing. But what truly makes it special is their chemistry and how in sync they are with each other. I never get tired of watching them and sad that they have now retired.
Every time I watch this video is an incredible emotion... It's like watching the same person on the ice, creating poetry. And one of the most moving part is when he says at the end "thank you so much", like he was receiving instead of giving. There were absolutely beautiful.
This reminds me of some Grace Kelly-like, old Hollywood type of film...it's just so dreamy and romantic and beautiful, like dancing under twilight. I'm so happy for them that they won.
The epitome of grace, elegance, trust in your partner, musicality, athleticism. And who choreographs their wonderful dances? Bravo to them and all their team.
I have shown this FD to two friends, who are excellent classical musicians and not really into Ice Dance, and they were so incredibly moved that they could communicate the beauty of this piece of music. They were in awe of their talent, athletic ability, and their artistic integrity, their commitment to every move and the way they are two people who dance as one, with the music. Gloriously beautiful.
The calmness and connect in their eyes just talking to each other before beginning like that alone made my heart skip a beat and honestly was when I realized they were gonna smash the program and get the gold
nearly as gorgeous as the program it was based on… they and meryl+charlie are my favorite ice dancers of the modern era… the fluidity, the connection, the speed, the passion, the synchronization… they are stunning together like poetry in motion… a gorgeous tribute to the stunning g&g
I have watched this video a couple of times and everytime i watched it i am teary eyed because of so much emotions that is resonating... I got chill and goosebumps
I still remember where I was and how I felt when I saw this performance for the first time. I remember thinking, "I've never seen anything so beautiful in my life!" I was completely awestruck. They are divine. This is an exemplary program on every level. There is so much to it! Out of this world.
When I watch them skate I can feel the emotions of their dancing in my cells. They are breathtaking to watch, they become one with the music. This is more than just skating, it nearly feels like a beautiful spiritual experience.
I miss them so much, we were really blessed to witness the golden era. When ice dancing was about edges, levels, technicality matched with grace and interpretation.
That choreography was breathtakingly beautiful. I got the same feeling I had when I first saw Torville and Dean skate Bolero. They were so in synch. If they are not in love they deserve an Oscar.
Не важно какая страна, но когда прекрасная музыка, чувственное исполнение и проникновенное катание двух талантливых лудей объединились - получился шедевр. Браво, хоть я из России. Но восхищёна.
Que dupla linda! Sério, Tessa e Scott estão fazendo falta nessas olimpíadas. Tanta delicadeza, sincronia, leveza e amor reverberam em todas as apresentações dessa dupla. Uma pena terem se aposentado. Mas ficamos todos felizes por saber que eles se dedicaram por 22 anos juntos a patinação no gelo, e quando bate saudades dessa beleza em dança, podemos vir aqui e assistir várias vezes.
I NEEDED to watch them again to capture the beauty and grace that I find lacking in this year's Ice Dancing Olympics. My husband tapped me on the shoulder and reminded me to breath because I become so engrossed in their performances.
As a casual fan of ice dancing, I used to only focusing the upper part of their body. It's so mesmerizing. Lately my focus kinda shifted towards the real part of the skating, their feet, and holy shit I just realized those footwork are so complex! Even the first 10 seconds make me so nervous. The slightest misplacement can cause disaster to both of them.
If a person truly focus on the feet, as well as the ice skaters being in unison (at the same time)... it truly is remarkable. Please allow me to mention, Torvill and Dean! Simply pick the Olympics with their names! Give them a watch (more than one, but a couple of different dances! Talk about shocking!!!
this routine gives me a lot of striking proposal/wedding imagery. the white dress and collared shirt, the kneeling at the beginning, and the waltzy tempo like a first dance song. so, so beautiful!
This is such an exquisite choreography, I find myself watching it from time to time, and I'm always extremely touched by it. Few seconds in and I already have goosebumps and tears in my eyes. For me, it's their best program, such raw beauty, purity, innocence... obviously they've come a great way to improve their skills later on, but this is just IT. I'd love to see them dancing this exact choreography once again 🌻
2020 in the US has been rough to say the least. This program by Virtue and Moir has given me the beauty, romance, and all that is good and positive that have been missing these last several months. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
So in sync with each other that their arm movements match even when they aren't looking at each other during their opening stance. Scott on bended knee in front of Tessa before kissing her hand - I died!
For me, this is the best. I kept on watching it again and again.I am still mesmerized how they glided and swayed forming identical shapes. I love how Scot lifted her with so much care and affection as if she's a fragile thing to be broken when she fall. How their face radiate love as they perform. I 'll never get tired of watching it again.
After watching Figure Skating in Beijing Olympics 2022, I came back to watch this video of Tessa and Scott. This is still the best pair figure skating performance to beat; the emotion, synchronization, difficulty, plus the two are good looking :) The performance is magical from beginning to end.
Whenever I want to remind myself what perfect ice dancers look like, I come and watch this video. There’s no one like them now. They have the technique, the artistry and the EMOTION. They were born to dance on the ice and we are so lucky to have had them for 3 Olympic cycles.
I wonder what they were saying to each other at the beginning? What kind of conversation would they be having in front of thousands of people like that? Fascinating.
I was about grade 6 when i watched this on our cable here in the Philippines. Now that ive found it here again in youtube after so many years. My God! SO MAGICAL AND SUPERB! THEY are like two lover spirits dancing on ice and we were just invited to watch their love dance.
Beautiful choreography by the same lady who did Gordeeva and Grinkov's numbers. No doubt it was also a tribute to them because it the same song that Gordeeva danced to her husband died. Also, many of the poses in this dance were reminiscent of some of G&G' s performances.
If I get down, I can watch this and be lifted into a happier world. In the first viewing my eyes will focus on Tessa; when I repeat it, my eyes will focus on Scott. Truly a pair made in heaven. Speaking of heaven, I hope there's ice skating there.
I'm from Italy, and i'm following figure skating since 1992, but that early morning ( here in Italy was morning when they skated) of two years ago it was the first time i had teard in my eyes at the end of a program. I still get goosebumps and chills down my spine every time i watch it!!!! They really captured my heart that day, and this incredible free dance and that magical night will be in my heart forever!!
For someone like me who is amazed anyone can even stand up straight on cold rock hard ice wearing boots with a steel blade to balance on;watching these two is unforgettable for me they are just poetry in motion.........!
she is the most beautiful girl I have er seen in my entire life, and he is the boy that every girl wants, look how he look at her, I love him so much.. and I love that couple and EVERYTHING
On ice skating rink so many performers came, did good, so many would come in future, but Tessa and Moir, the duo would certainly remain on ice skating rink, may be not physically, but in the air and in the hearts of millions, forever........never to end, never to former chapter, even after their absence from the world. Geniuses are always scanty by nature.
This performance makes me feel like they’re two lovers, one; a princess hidden in a castle, the other, a handsome man that finds her dancing alone, joining her as they dance through a magical garden only they know of.
