Meryl Davis & Charlie White Full Free Dance Performance Wins Gold | Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics 

To me, ice skating is like walking in cursive.

I think I found a new hobby..... Watching ice skating!

i cant help it Meryl Davis looks like a Disney princess a gorgeous talented Disney princess.

Every time I watch this I can't help but remark how perfect they are dancing together; like a fairy tale

Meryl's expression always gets me. Her face is so full of emotion and passion and gosh she's gorgeous.

Her costume is magnificent. This was so lovely to watch.

They reminded me of Hercules and Megara.

The transition into the curve lift was phenomenal

Meryl's feminine power, their speed, their skating and Charlie's strength in those flawless lifts????? OMG!!!! I can't imagine how thrilling it was to see that in person!

they look like they should be from a movie

As a basic ice skater(?) I can say Meryl and Charlie are the best ice dancers ever. The smoothnes in their moves and their artistry is so beatiful. They really embody immense power and athletic ability

how do you even come up with a choreography for something like this seems difficult

Two years later, this free dance still gives me chills. Hands down, one of if not THE best performances on ice, PERIOD. I am so grateful to have witnessed this magic live with my own eyes in 2014. Meryl and Charlie are the epitome of two souls in sync, the personification of passion and dedication! Theirs is a bond that transcends time and space, brought forth only through perseverance and mutual love. Bravissimo!

While I'm trying to find fault cause I wanted Canada to come home with the gold, it's hard. Every movement was flawless and I was honestly left feeling stunned by how in synch their skating was. It looked less like they were skating and more like they were soaring over the ice.

This program is so beautiful and they skate it to perfection.

This program was a work of art. I love Davis and White. They are epic!!

Charlie looks like Kristoff and Meryl looks like Princess Jasmine!

I remember watching this live with my mother. It made me fall in love with ice dancing. There is no performance more perfect.

The audience in that arena does not know how to appreciate perfection. That was a lukewarm response to absolute perfection.

I don't know that we'll ever have another team like Meryl & Charlie. Just beautiful together.

I love how in sync they are my god

They are flawless, well deserved, still get chills two years later.

I remember watching this with my father. It was getting late that night, but I was insisting that we weren't leaving until we saw Meryl and Charlie perform. Then this happened. And then they won the gold. Although it was no surprise, it was a joyous night for America. Thank you, Meryl and Charlie. You did it.

So beautiful and enchanting. They won the first Olympic Gold Ice Dance medal for the US with a platinum performance. Outstanding, they graced the ice with their presence. I am so happy I ordered the Liam Cross print of this to go with my Gordon King print of the Ice Dancers who changed Ice Dance forever: Torvill & Dean's Bolero. They set the standards for everyone else to follow as far as artistry goes. They are still ice dancing in their 60's, March 2022.

Personally, this was Meryl and Charlie's time to win it. They absolutely dominated the season. Virtue and Moir's time was in Vancouver to win. They performed much better there and Meryl and Charlie performed much better here.

I never tire of watching this. Absolutely thrilling.

Still coming here to witness perfection!!!! Miss them terribly...

meanwhile I can't even walk on the sidewalk without falling flat on my face... sigh...

It's just very sad that people would come and comment on a video that does not feature what they wish to see, and waste that energy on criticism or negativity. Doesn't the world already have too much of that? Can't the web be a place where we can spread positivity instead? Again, congratulations to Meryl Davis and Charlie White. Your hard work has finally paid off! Peace, everyone.

In the 4 discipline in Figure Skating, Ice Dancing is probably the hardest to perfect as it doesn't allow jumps and lifts like that in the Pairs. It is also the one that needs to be technically and artistically perfect. I though I would never see the day the US will win in this discipline but this two prove us all wrong.

I have probably watched this 50+ times, but I still get the chills. They are so powerful and such a joy to watch.❤️🇺🇸

These two are so freaking perfect and graceful. And let's not forget that beautiful bond those two must share.

I think Davis and White are the greatest ice dancing team ever.

Came here almost every week to watch this BRILLIANT performance by two talented and strong performers. Love them!!

January 2019 and still watching!! Still, IMHO, no one out there like them...

this is one of the most precise performances I've ever seen

Can't stop watching Meryl and Charlie performing this awesome routine. They were flawless!!!

Meryl Davis & Charlie White were the first Americans to win an Olympic gold medal in ice dancing after 17 years of hard work.

Happy Anniversary to Meryl and Charlie for their Gold Medal win in Sochi a year ago today. What an accomplishment!!!!

Flawless fluid transitions combined with speed & impeccable synchronizations while never compromising the artistic/aesthetically pleasing component. This is Athleticism on a whole different level. Period. This level of skating starts in the heart. ❤️

They've never looked happier, and I'm thrilled for them.

Near perfection, the best ice dancing partners ever.

The way some of these pairs make it look so effortless when so much actually goes into each performance… 🤯

This program is a masterpiece. Meryl & Charlie do what no other ice dancers have ever done and make it their own. I have seen it so many times and its always as fresh and exciting as the first time I watched it when they won gold. Meryl & Charlie are the best ice dancers ever!!!

FEBRUARY 17, 2014 - FEBRUARY 17, 2015. CONGRATS MERYL AND CHARLIE. I STILL CRY WHEN I WATCH THIS PERFORMANCE. PASS THE PUFFS!!

I hope these 2 collaborate and write a book about their skating career.

Every time I watch this video, I can't help but notice all those who are not applauding for this phenomenal skate and team. So different from the audience in Boston at World's in 2016.

And they usually told stories in their FDs, upon which no commentator ever mentioned. And their gala program was exquisite!

When they replay the program in slow motion you can really see how artistic, graceful and elegant they are with each and every movement! It's just absolute perfection, impeccable expertise and magical!!!! I love watching Meryl and Charlie and miss them SO MUCH!!!!

How about enjoy this performance and quit arguing. Regardless of what country you're from. It's art, expression. Nothing is more beautiful than that!

Watching this, I'm a V/M fan, yet i do believe they deserved to win the gold at Sochi. I mean look at the speed, the athleticism and complexity of this program. It definitely deserved a way higher score, I mean, P/C, getting a 118 for their FD at Worlds, with a program not that polished? Seriously. The Judges are way too generous at these new couples.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Meryl and Charlie are in a class of their own. This is a performance of a lifetime.

I think my favorite performance of Scheherazade will always be nationals, but the Olympic performances are absolutely thrilling. Just wonderful performances, and absolutely deserving of their gold. So happy for them, and I'm thrilled we'll at least be able to see them in shows in the future.

Bravo to the most exciting ice-dance team in the world! I've been watching them since 2008, and it's been interesting to watch them 'mature' in the performance/sophistication aspect of their skating; undefeated internationally during the past 2 yrs (so, the 2014 Olympics is no 'fluke'); I've listened to commentators from British Eurosport, Italian TV et al., and they all raved. 2 World Championships, 5 Grand Prix Final Gold Medals, innumerable NHK, 4CC, etc. championships, 6 US Nat'l titles; their artistry kept getting better and better, as did the consistency of their skating since c. 2011. The male commentator here was one of the men who raved at their 2013 NHK performance (he used same phrases); woman who sounded bored only was on air for 2013 SA. And D/W always showed respect, never complained if they were underscored or missed out on a podium; famously, Meryl hushing audience boos for too low scores at 2009 WCs (which Brit. Euro. called 'the dance of the evening!'). A lot of people only "discovered" D/W at the Olympics, but they have done so many memorable programs (including "Polovetsian Dances", "Lennon", "Samson & Delilah" (!!), "Die Fledermaus", "Tangos", "Notre Dame de Paris", and now "Scheherezade"). I think they just matured later than V/M and kept getting better and better.

It's amazing how fresh and wonderful this program is after having not watched it for a while. One of my favorite ice dance performances ever.

This was literally flawless. Watching them perform the same program in the 2013 NHK Trophy Ice Dance and the 2014 Nationals I didn't think it could've gotten any better. This performance proved me wrong.

Meryl and Charlie's performance was once again breathtaking and astonishing!!!!!! It was just beautiful!!!!

THEY ARE THE VERY BEST OF THE DANCE ON ICE! I'M ITALIAN WOMAN AND I LOVE MERYL AND CHARLI

I'm a figure skater and I look up to them so much they're amazing! They execute everything perfectly ughhh

I don't care who you are or where you're from, this kind of talent is a joy to behold!

I never tire watching Meryl and Charlie. I can watch them over and over....amazing!!! Well deserved Gold!!!!

Well done, well deserved, they are a delight to the eyes, and right now there are none better. Their medals should have been diamond studded for that great performance.

Followed this couple for so many years - so happy they were able to get the Gold at the 2014 Olympics. To me it was long overdue. I love them so much. I enjoy watching their programs again & again.Thank you For all you have done for Skating - you will never be forgotten. Miss seeing you perform. Wishing you both happiness in Your lives today…I know you have both married and Wish you many blessings in the many years ahead.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

I keep coming here because this performance is not only awesome but historical for the USA as well. Let's keep the views going!!!

I just don't know how they can keep that much speed up in this program. It's phenomenal!!!! I LOVE Virtue and Moir 2 but my heart was with Meryl and Charlie..

Olympic Champions and so very well deserved. Simply....The Best!!

Gotta say that while watching Meryl & Charlie skate over those years, I'm a little in love with Charlie. ;)

Its one year today that Meryl and Charlie won Olympic Gold in Sochi. What a proud moment it was!!! Congrats on a very successful post Sochi year. Please continue skating your beautiful programs.

People on Twitter said that V/M had better lifts and coming back to this after watching D/W from 2013 onward.... I think the people that said that are just bitter.

After watching this performance, all I can think or say is "woah."

This never gets old. In fact, I think I might have the announcers’ comments almost memorized. Shows how much I watch this! :)

When I see the other ice skating performances I usually can tell that they’re trying to showcase certain moves but these two are just truly dancing

Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

I was on edge! They must have so much confidence to put their trust in each other like that

I miss them:(

absolute perfection.

charlie&meryl just show the etymological meaning of what good is out shines everything else. good job charlie&meryl.

This couple deserved the gold medal.

Charlie looks like a Prince. So handsome.

What an incredible and moving performance filled with purity. Meryl is a star, her movements are delicate, considerate yet strong. This was the most memorable performance for me in Sochi. I love to come back and watch it every now and again.

Beautiful, and their gold was rightly deserved, just beautiful.

Meryl Davis is so Wow!!!!!!!!!

Landed here from a Talent Management course... Wow! What a masterpiece!

I don’t know how many times I’ve come back to watch this video but it’s just SO beautiful. They did no wrong.

GOLD MEDAL DESERVED!

it is amazing how in sync they are!! so beautiful!!

they skate as if they are in love!!

ice dancing will never be the same without you Meryl and Charlie!!!I am so happy to see you skate in 2014 at SAP San Jose, Ca.Please compete at the 2018 Winter Olympics and shatter all their records!!!The Shibhutanis are doing a great job as well.

There's no one like these 2 on the world stage right now. Meryl and Charlie are 1 of a kind. I've been watching them for a long time and they are the epitome of grace, beauty, strength, power, and passion. I love Tessa and Scott but Meryl and Charlie are hands down my very favorite. We here in the USA need to keep figure skating a priority. So if you have a chance to see Meryl and Charlie and other figure skaters, go so them and support them. You won't regret it.

Unbelievable!!! Been following Olympic skating/dancing/pairs since 1960s and they are the pinnacle of ice dancing; I can only wonder how long they can keep skating at this level.

Three years later, I still watch that first lift over and over again.

I have probably watched this program at least a 100 times So beautiful never get tired of this couple

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS MERYL AND CHARLIE!!!! SO PROUD OF YOU..

MERYL AND CHARLIE, YOU TAKE MY BREATH AWAY! STUNNING....

I find myself coming back to this often. Its like a dream.

Absolutely breathtaking!! The speed, the grace, the difficulty - all were amazing. I was completely awed by the expertise of these two brilliant ice dancers. I certainly hope they will continue with exhibition dancing. It would be so sad not to be able to watch them again. BRAVO!!

I remember watching this performance and actually tearing up because they are just so beautiful together (not relationship wise, but pair skating wise). Their final Olympic performer definitely went out with a bang!

They move so harmony, they have great amazingly teamwork here! I can't even get my eyes from my phone screen.. They moves so look so gentle yet it's so dramatic! 😍 to be able to lift her while skate one thing..uuuhh so many remarkable action happened!☺️ it's shows how much effort they put on this!

I am so proud of this even now. Tessa and Scott were a formidable pair but Meryl and Charlie brought it all they had and won gold.

They are just perrrfect on the ice! Flawless in every way...She moves like a ballerina dancing on ice and he is the strong prince who perfectly completes the pair. 👌
