Thank goodness you remembered

Hahaha me too

Omg me three. I’m glad we’re all fixated on ice skating and its not just me :)

It’s an obsession

I'm Asian and I knew literally nothing about ice dance until last month when I discovered Virtue/Moir 2018 Olympic free dance. This guided me to discover other routines they did and now I'm officially obsessed. I know that so many fans of V/M are a little disappointed that they don't share a romantic relationship in real life, and in fact married to other people and are parents (There's a rumor that Tessa is pregnant) I'm here to say that what they have is one of the most beautiful relationships which many people don't get to experience in this world. There's no romance, there's no lust in their relationship but what they do have is a very deep platonic love for each other. This form of love is the closest form of love to what I believe is true love (As true love is often unattainable because it's selfless) because there are no conditions, no standards, no lust involved. Their love for each other is purely unconditional and driven by their urge to mutually encourage each other to do better emotionally, physically, socially and maybe spiritually throughout their journey. Ice dance itself is a sport that involves two people who can collaborate or blend with each other to create a beautiful work of art. They once stated that they believe that they are an extension of each other when they dance. They danced together for 22 years. I repeat. 22 years!! The level of understanding, empathy and patience they had practiced for each other must be so immense because it's not easy to collaborate for with a person who has an entirely different personality of his/her own for 22 years! I think one of the reasons they hug before every routine (Oh, those hugs are just so profoundly beautiful in a way that it pulls all your heart strings!) is to assure each other that they are going to perform well and also to ease each other's anxiousness. Those long hugs help them to keep their heartbeat at the same pace and slow it down (This is a researched fact) so that both of them contribute to the program to their best. This is sooooooo beautiful!! I really want to experience a relationship like this. Believe me when I say this, they are literally soul mates, and they don't have to be romantic partners to be so because what they have is purer and deeper than that. The love they have for their life partners must be wonderful but, when Tessa and Scott are on the ice, it just transcends every other relationship they have. Isn't that just so beautiful? I guess that's what I want in a relationship, that kinda love.

I will always be here

Here I am

I’m here!!

Me😊

😂😂😂

Truly

FOR REAL THIS LIVES RENT FREE

Absolutely

Really truly

Facts

exactly

just like my thousands time.

Guilty.

actually, yes it is. this is my first time ever coming across this duo, but it most certainly won’t be the last

Not my whole life right there

well, i still love my kdramas as much as i love these two

@@zilam98 i got a little tired of it, I watched too many :/

@@feelinthemode ahahaha. i hear ya. i'm frustrated though that there are kdrama shows i can't cast to the tv through chromecast, especially when they're new with kocowa

@@feelinthemode what kdrama genres do you watch?

literally me

lol literally same! It's routines like this that make me want to learn how to figure skate.

👏🏼😂 same, same

Nah my dude. If you support these two, you’re automatically an honourary Canadian. Welcome to the country lol 🤣🇨🇦

I’m from iran but every time i see these two i wish i was Canadian, and my dream is to immigrate to Canada some day

same

si. same for me. I think I contributed to at least 50 views on this video :0

same girl same

🌬️Sooo unbelievably stunning

Same here

I watch this video at least every other day and get complete goosebumps. I even tear up a little towards the end seeing them celebrate.

Конечно смотрим они уникальны ещё пападакисы Габриэла и гийорм сизерон тоже великолепные фигуристы. Такое счастье смотреть их супер.

Yep. It's like part of a daily routine

@@ladygodiva1950 не понимаю.я русская.

I regularly watch this routine and some of their other ones to escape from reality a bit and for stress relief. It’s so beautiful to watch.

im from america and i still think they had the best ice skating performance I've ever seen. i think the whole world shipped them lol (i hope)

@@briibhhaadd But, I cannot wait to see the Shib Sibs in February. They are amazing and they've had four more years to get even better. USA GOLD 🏅

@@diane5423 They haven't retired?

@@diane5423 the Shib Sibs aren't competing this season, you have Hubbell/Donohue and Chock/Bates for a chance at medalling

@@diane5423 I'm pretty sure they've fully retired and now have like normal jobs, read a couple of interviews on this.

Since their return to the ice in 2016 Virtue and Moir have systematically won Papadakis and Cizeron including at the 2017 worlds. During the 2017 season Papadakis and Cizeron obtained higher scores in competitions in which Virtue and Moir didn'tt participate, which is why they modified their program by adding difficulties and the incredible final lift. Papadakis and Cizeron defeated Virtue and Moir at the 2017 GPF, presumably because Tessa and Scott's performance wasn't as stellar as usual. Finally, what made the difference for the Olympics was the mental, physical and material preparation. on all these points the Canadians were outstanding competitors.

Yeah but they didn't have the winning free dance and if Gabrielle wouldn't have been sabotaged with her dress in the rhythm dance they would have won Gold.

@@66bayouboyshe wasn’t sabotaged. It was a mishap

​@@66bayouboyno they wouldnt have.

Eu amo o casal melhor apresentação já vista na minha vida no gelo

The GOATS

Was looking for that comment, to like it :) Absolutely the best!

Agree

Naw...Davis & White 2013 Worlds was the best, by far!

That would be 3 Oscars , David Wilson, ex skater and choreographer, Marie-France Dubreuil, ex icedancer and choreographer, and Sam Chouinard, choreographer and artistic director of École de Danse Denise Bonneau since 2005. All Canadians.

An Oscar may be the wrong award?

i disagree. they don’t deserve the oscar. they deserve the frickin nobel prize for peace

Don’t forget the tony they need Bcs they should choreograph some Broadway performances

@@laurasiqueira6405 Lets just agree this should be part of a comfort sleep bit.

do you know who the France performers where ?

same!

But like trulyyyy tho

Could not agree more

She is engaged to my fave hockey player!! I really hope when he retires she makes him learn some routines with her!!! He’s marrying Canadian royalty ☺️☺️

@@thomthom6268 lol

Mood🥹

I so disagree. Yes both are very charismatic, and this program is great, but the ultimate artistry , flawless , elegant and original program actually won here in 2018 Cizeron and Papadakis of course. That couple is by far the best, maybe ever.

@@tacom1 I would like to know why all the admirers of the French spend their time on the videos of Virtue and Moir? Do they hope to force us to share their opinion? Or to recruit fans? In any case, the public of Canadians is always more numerous... No need to promote them on other competitors' videos. You should think about it

@@rosanishina5097 So if you admire 1 couple you are not allowed to watch other pairs? If I think Papadakis and Cizeron are the best, should I not watch others? Im confused here.

@@tacom1 Nothing prevents you from thinking, however to understand the meaning of my message eventually

@@rosanishina5097 Maybe if you just answer the question? Am I allowed to watch Virtue and Moir and comment? Or can I not because I like CIzeron and Papadakis?

LMAOO I read this as soon as the song came on im dying 😂

LEGIT i also always think of this as like the closest thing to a religious experience i've had, like wow

I know!!! I always feel a huge disappointment and then hurry and mute it. And then watch the dance again to get me back in the mood. Honestly, this is the best piece of art I've ever experienced.

LMFAO BEUH

О Боже! Как скуден английский язык! Даже сравнивать не буду с русским МОГУЧИМ! Хочется понять о чём пишут люди... и не могу поймать их мысли.

Quisiera oir en español los comentarios de Tessa y Scott

vilchez amei eu amei a sua apresentação você é linda continue assim faça muito mas todo mundo tem orgulho de você que Deus te abençoe amém

dolores vilchez aquí hay uno sjsj

Some athletes make mistakes because of pressure and stress, and they perform less well in competition. Virtue and Moir said the competition was like an engine and they used that pressure to give their best performances. They have an exceptional mind

couldn't be any truer

You can't say that, it's. Performing,,,,, all performances is exposure But they,, if love, have closeness

Honestly. I started watching the couples performance and I didn’t know they were married until I rewatched it today😭😩

Who is the married couple?

They are married.

Yessss

@@jesicavillalpandoaguilar8608 HAHAHAHAHA

YES

And he's so 'exist'. Not only a decoration for her. Not like any pair skaters out there. They both absorbs my attention powerfully equal.

4:48 This hug !!! This hug !!!

Yes that's one for the history, like Torvill and Dean at the 1984 olympics.

I agree

Very true

Agree

Well, actually Chock & Bates scored higher at 2022 Olympics! AMAZING!!!!

Like me, i'm a fan of figure skating, ice dance and speedskating for more than 50 years.

@@joekel55 ✨✨

As a Canadian you must also be proud of the magnificent season produced by Gilles Poirier who skated 2 superb programs, that I particularly like. I am an unconditional fan of Virtue and Moir, I am not Canadian but I share your pride and your admiration for these legendary skaters. Congratulations for Canada 🍁

Hello!! Replying so you can come back here and enjoy it again! :D

And yet, this legendary performance was rated below P/C's 🤯

@@geodesie7447 What a joke. Anyone with eyes, can see..

@@geodesie7447These guys sold it best and made us believe it though. A well deserved gold medal here. p.s. It doesn't hurt that Tessa is stunning.

I think Scott almost slipped at 3:49

@@MK-cy3ww Nope, he isn't :) If you compare this performance with other times they performance Moulin Rouge, you will see that it is part of the cheorography!

SAME LOL

Same. You can still feel the passion even tho you watched it many times

I am so glad to know I am not alone.

Girl, me too !

Saaaaaaaaame 😂

He sings along all the time hahah. Even in competitions when he was a kid

Then go whatch Katia Gordeeva and Sergei they're the best at the end of the 80's

go watch Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron they're the best

@@depgabby nah, p/c is more about cizeron. they're not as equal of a team as v/m are

@@depgabby disagree. Cizeron is great and Papadakis is lucky to have found him. For fun, I'd like to see him skate with Tessa Virtue or Evgenia Medvedeva

Go watch aljona savchenko and bruno massot

AND HER SMILE AFTER AGGHHH

I don't think anybody is confused about this fact

Coaches of gadbois more than Tessa I think.

obviously...

Leonardo DaVinci You’d be surprised, looking at recent (past 2-3 weeks) comments 🙈

​@@leonardodavinci4259 I would love to say that nobody is confused... surprise! plenty of people commented that Tessa and Scott were basically inspired by Kat and Justin - even if the timeline is obvious... same thing on Twitter, it's sad and almost unrealistic, but...

chills everytime.

I was about to yell at you but then I realized what you were saying and yes that's fair

They’re true Canadian treasures 💕

... and don't forget the costume! Dazzling!

UGH SAMEEE

SAME HERE I've been watching the Olympics and no disrespect to the couples that are competing now but the way in which they don't even get CLOSE to this... They were on a complete other level and made a mark on history.

Me too

likewise. but chock & bates are a breath of fresh air too.

Same. Watching Beijing 2022 has been so….unfulfilling.

Same tbh

omg I was so bewildered by that move, had to watch it frame for frame. It's incredible.

Right. Most of these lifts and skills are so baffling to me I wonder how they do it

Not really, it's common in contact improvization and not very hard. But it could be very hard to balance it on ice

@@spiralore sorry but if anyone can do a back flip on ice skating backwards onto someone’s shoulders, I’m assuming it takes a lot of power and trust. I’m sure it got easier for them but for a person that’s not a high trained athlete it’s not easy.

@@aly8950 that's not really what I meant. Of course it takes a lot, but you can probably do such things also when on the ground. I find it inspiring when I could do some of the moves of such an amazing performance...

Literally me too! It is truly amazing they are phenomenal never fails to bring me to tears.

Check out Chock & Bates recent performance and their score was higher than VM. Both are amazing but personally, I think Chock & Bates topped this one which seems almost impossible!!

Why arent they on the olimpics this year?

Martyna they don’t skate anymore

Me too!!! Love them so much!!!!

lulz

@@Tacobunny46 that’s what the person said

Nah, compared to Papadakis/Cizeron stylistically they look stale and oldfashioned. And without the Papadakis wardrobe malfunction, had all things been equal..they would have been silver medallists..not gold.

@@reddragonready 🤓

@@aracelimunoz1217 the wardrobe malfunctions is just her alibis. When you watch the slow mo their twizzles not synchronized.

Well, you also have Patrick Chan, one of the finest and most elegant men skaters ever!

@@neskipom We also have Katelyn Osmond!

Most of us have started skating to play hockey, so it makes sense

Lol 🤣🤣🤣

There's 3 types of Canadian skaters, the first is the most popular kind, the hokey players/aggressive skaters, second we have the ones that are always at public skating rinks, the new skaters, then we have the third, the rarest kid of skaters, the graceful ones.

It made me feel the same! Uff! So much passion!! Hellos from the Dominican Republic! 🇩🇴🤗

I cry every time I watch this. They are perfect together on the ice. Soul mates look like that.

100% agree. I’ve never cried over a dance before

same here

I cried too! Just can't stop it🥺

Bruh you just copied someone's comment from 9 months ago

Please, can you tell me the name of the song, is that i am Brazilian and do not know well

@@deyvivicente962 it's tango de roxanne

@@tmmedia9600 I think just a lot of ppl including myself feel this way, don't think it's about copying to get a lot of likes

Bruhhh don’t think you can get away with copying our lord and saviour Jesus’s comment

Watch more of their routines. They're really quite incredible. Really sweet people and incredibly talented. It takes an insane amount of work to reach their level, and I can't imagine how amazing it must feel to be able to float across the ice like that!

@@missMediaChick 20 years skating together from what I've read of these two. Just amazing! 😊

Im sitting here sobbing. No reason, just the pure beauty, passion, and that embrace they share at the end; 20 years of hard work, pain, and endless hours of practice paying off. I'm amazed.

@@Strugasaurasrex I have to say, I love when people comment on this, it is my periodical reminded to sit down and be mesmerised for a short while :)

Well that explains it then..you haven't seen Papadakis/ Cizeron

I believe almost every routine they’ve done they sing to each other while competing, it’s kinda hard to tell Tessa singing with the angles though

of course you can't, he has hugged her since she was 9

Jessie right 🥺🥺

Jessie AHHHHHH I KNOW

@@bestrong7943 a real smartie-pants! guud for u

There love for each other seems to transcends friendship.

I know!! Honestly I think that's probably my favourite part about the whole thing! The performance is otherworldly no matter how many times you watch it, but just seeing the genuine joy and amazement in their faces makes me cry every time. You can just see so clearly in both Tessa and Scott's faces the expression of "Did we actually just do that?" and it's just so pure to see!!

He was happy because they ended their career with a bang...

It was tougher for Scott if they lose, he’s the one carrying the burden, Tessa. He must be strong to carry 50 kilograms of body weight and not let her fall to the ground.

@@LeonieCapangpangan yo she isn't 50 pounds💀 she's easily double that, i think you meant 50 kgs

Ayesha Ameen you’re right. I realized it later but failed to correct it. Thanks so much so others will be enlightened.

Spellbinding from beginning to end - can’t take your eyes off them…😲

well it's based off the most intense romance movie

Still watching it in 2022!

If you enjoyed this I highly reccomend seing Moulin Rouge the Musical if you can at all, especially Backstage Romance is also a phenomenal number similar to this one

This whole performance makes me tear up, and I've watched it at least 50 times!

Same

But how they was at the first place . The french team got 123 pts ?

@@batuhanpotter6338 Sum of all the dances not just the free dance. Someone said they only needed 121.6 to win gold. They likely would have gone well past their score if it wasn't for a missed move around 1m 30s. It's still my all-time favourite ice dance. It has incredible energy. I've lost track of how many times I've watched it.

@@cmw9876 They didn't miss a move, it looks changed. This routine has gone through several small tweaks and changes over the competitions. So it always seems a bit different.

same here

same same same

Same lol

I’m gonna watch it now after reading all these comments about it

Sameeee

So true. I have watched this performance so many dozens of times and it is an emotional experience every time. They are so perfectly in sync and everything is so fluid and connected and powerful. It's a bit overwhelming. And then the lyrics kick in "... And there´s no mountain too high, No river too wide, Sing out this song and I´ll be there by your side, Storm clouds may gather, And stars may collide, But I love you until the end of time, come what may ...". I mean, come on ... how much passion can a person take? They are just too perfect for each other!!

From a different era/level of skaing, but have a look at Tessa & Scott's childhood idols, Paul and Isabelle Duschenay's "Missing".

Qp

For real. I just watched this twice in a row and got chills both times.

omg so true

That's probably my favorite part! I love it so much!

No one is gonna talk about the similitude of Tessa and the young Nicole Kidman ,protagonist of Mouline Rouge, and also for those who don't know the song is from that movie.

true was so amazed when I saw them do that

LITERALLY

To this day, I still wonder how it’s humanly possible

holy cow

Watch it a few times and you'll hear a piano tinkle which indicates that magic is taking place right there

likewise....

It hits different

Ok I’m not the only one!! Phew!

Please, can you tell me the name of the song, is that i am Brazilian and do not know well

@@deyvivicente962 Moulin Rouge (from the movie of same name)

@@deyvivicente962 It isn't just one song, it's a medly of various songs from the movie Moulin Rouge. The very first line is from The Show Must Go On, the next part is from Roxanne, and the last part is from Come What May.

Deyvi Vicente Is from Moulin Rouge Movie

É um mash-up de músicas de Moulin rouge, que por sua vez é um filme cheio de versões e mash-ups de outras músicas, por exemplo a primeira que toca é uma versão de show must go on do queen, e depois vem el tango de Roxane, que é uma versão de Roxane e etc

And just a lit later she sings "until the end of time" and I just can't :3

Abigail Peña My heart.

I was hoping they'd be announcing their wedding on Ellen;( Was very disappointed when they did not;D but whatever I still love them

Gracey Raceland so they are a couple or just close skating partner friends?

They maintain that their relationship is very hard to define, but that they are not a couple and if they were they would have announced it when they were on Ellen. And I kind of believe them when they say that, but it's also obvious that they love each other and not just in the way that friends do. I think they put that love aside *off* the ice to be able to portray feelings like passion and jealousy the way they do *on* the ice. So I'm hoping they'll start dating after they have officially retired (could be in July, I think). Or maybe they are already dating and deny it when asked by reporters as to don't take the focus away from the beautiful perfomances they've worked so hard for. It's really hard to say with these two:D

Torvill and Dean '84 all over again!

FACTSSSSSSSSS

I mean, just type their names and PeyongChang into Google Scholar, people have written actual published academic articles on this performance. 😅

@Minami Uchida what's a goosebump

That first “Roxanne” hit in perfect synchronization is what really made me sit back and go “oh, this is gonna be good”

@Minami Uchida It's like that that in the movie. It's part of the soundtrack.

So what is a goosebump?

@@Kamila-eb9pz Goosebumps: “a state of the skin caused by cold, fear, or excitement, in which small bumps appear on the surface as the hairs become erect.” I can’t describe the sensation well enough myself to give you a better descriptor, but it’s usually accompanied with the sensation of chills (good or bad).
