Ice dancing Olympic Gold Medalist champion Tessa Virtue 

Happened to me; they introduced me into it, and got me out of it too... 🤷🏽‍♀️

Mee too and I discovered the only 2 years ago when they already retired. I love very much ice dance and skating since I was very very young. ( Protopopov, Buch/Buch, Rodnina/Zaitcev, Katarina Witt, Scott Hamilton, Brian Boitano and so on) I saw them not on italian tv , but on some others european tv. Here in Italy, even if we had some good champions the italian TV never covered as due ice dance. So I have lost so much.

Hope you can live your ice dance dreams

@@true6766 Thank you . Oh yes now when I watch on yutube Scott and Tessa I still can dream.

❤

Very odd and that dog can be in, but not the other person !!!!

Where does she say that?

@@nvadqs She doesn't, but she is wearing a beautiful "sparkler" on her left ring finger

@@barbaramsnyder8659 Ahh ok thanks

yeah, they've been engaged for a couple of months i think

Yes, something is lost when we don’t see the other person in the conversation. Conversation involved these two women and it happens between the speaker and the listener. Poor shots. What a pity!

Lmao

She had an "over use" type of injury that caused her a tremendous amount of pain. She had to have two operations and almost had a third. She would be able to skate for only about 30 seconds at a time when it was flaring up. She said just a year or two ago that unfortunately it didn't all entirely go away as she had hoped once they retired. She still has pain sometimes even though she doesn't really skate anymore.

What a price to pay. So sorry to hear that.@@wilhelmina8843

It's called Chronic Compartment Syndrome -- and the medical community doesn't fully understand this well. Her experience of multiple surgeries and not fully resolving the pain, is quite common. It was/ (is still) thought to be an issue of tight fascial compartments and the typical surgery involved opening up the fascia. However, new research is indicating that this condition really has nothing to do with "fascia" but is moreso a venous compression -- basically the popliteal veins get compressed when the leg muscles are active/engaged. The blood flows to lower legs through the arterial system -- but then the blood can't escape because the veins are compressed -- thus the pressure builds and its intense pressure. It feels like your legs want to explode! I had 3 surgeries for this and have kept up on the medical literature over the years, bc I, too, never got over it.

@@cj_3565 oh wow, can't believe she's had to press forward through all this, you too. Prayers for full answers and recovery.

I’m pretty sure the dog is a labradoodle, and a very big one. Beautiful and so calm. Tessa and Scott’s skating is, was, some of the most magical ever. I will never tire of watching the videos. ❤❤❤
