I was in that arena that evening for the pairs finals. Truly the most outstanding performance I have ever seen in figure skating. Greatest pair of all time when the crowd rose as one and cheered applauded wildly it was just amazing. So thankful to be there I felt so privileged to be in that arena to see it
Agreed. And I love the reaction of Yao Bin at the end. Even though you know he is proud of his teams, he is usually so stoic. It was great to see that this team means as much to him as they do to the skating world, and the performance that moved us to tears, moved him to tears, too. Wonderful.
Watching 2022 Winter Olympics, seeing beautiful performances but always, always thinking back to this wonderful gem. What an absolutely exquisite performance.
2018, I am still watching it, especially straight after the Winter Olympics in Feb just past, feeling no one nowdays still can even get close to them for this performance, such a legandary.
This blows me away every time I watch it. Yeah - truly a performance for the ages. Favorite moment - the passion of Shen as she slides out on one knee (around 4:52). The whole program is full of goose bump moments like that. Looking forward watching them in Vancouver.
search for the programme on british Europe sport. much better. including the commentator commented at the end saying the one who gave them the 2nd place needs to be carried off and spanked!!!
Quite agree. Brit ESP commentary is the best there is, and I'll watch that over anything else if it is available. Unfortunately, I don't think it is for this performance.
This is my favorite program of any pairs skating couple ever. I just wish I could watch it without the announcers yapping through the whole thing. I hope Dick Button isn't announcing anywhere anymore.
