So I read in an interview that he went down to his knees to propose to her at the end, but since she went down with him, he didn't know what to do, so he waited until later that night!
I love their throws. Shen is just amazing with the lightness of her landing and the extended ride-out. It has to come with complete trust and confidence in her partner. They are just the best--of their era, at least.
Their musical interpretations as well as their choice of music pieces is such an added factor to their programs. Wonderful music certainly contributes to deeply felt emotional movement over the ice. Xue and Hongbo...thank you so much!
The most beautiful pairs skating routine I've ever seen. The choreography is exquisite and fits them perfectly. Yes, "these two glorious figure skaters from China."
They are so beautiful together. She is one of the most expressive and lyrical pairs skaters I have ever seen! You can tell she feels the music throughout her whole body. Just glorious to watch them interpret such lovely music.
Massenet Tha-s: Meditation is great and was used numerously in the past but never been so impressively performed on ice and particularly they have created a history that could hardly be repeated - the lovely pair walking side by side down the road for years and finally engaged on ice with their hearts embedded together on the last Gold Medal this night as they would have thought to be the end of their career. Yet.........
As good as they are, they never synced their side by side spin, not sure either technical or naturally offset. And She missed his marriage proposal. LOL Still love them with all my heart.
Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze had a SUPERIOR program compared to this...When you compare side by side you can see how much more superior they are....
