their interview on cbc afterwards, soooo cute. "we don't care about the rest of the world, we're just happy to be have each other and to be skating together" ^O^
Thanks for uploading this video. Before I only saw them perform in television. Because of YT I am able to watch them again. They are two perfect, romantic, elegant and graceful dancers of all season. No more adjectives can I describe them. My only regret is that they were not destined to become a real couple. They are now living a separate lives but the memories the've left in ice skating will remain in the minds and hearts of their fans forever. Although it's sad and hurtful I have to accept the fact that they are only lovers in ice skating but not in real life. How I wish they will still perform for the sake of their fans. Watching from the Philippines now. I'll never get tired watching their videos.
LWOPP, I totally agree with you. They are the only couple who've come close to T&D, imho. I love other ice dance teams, of course, but these two are v v special. V&M have put 'dance' back in ice dance. Tessa's ballet training is such an asset. She never hits an ugly position. They match each other so well. The grace, elegance, emotion, artistry, charisma, joy for the sport and technical ability set them apart .
Having been a devoted follower of skating for over 40 years, whether or not this FD wins gold Medal in Vancouver, it may well be remembered years from now as being almost in a class with "Bolero." V&M have taken ice dance back to its roots. I can't see them in martial uniforms, bullfighter and flamenco or weird space cadet costumes. And, she is incapable of doing a lift that isn't totally elegant. They are a treasure and so young I hope they will be enthralling us for years to come.
Before the dance the Russian commentator's last words: "Enjoy it!" After the dance: "Some skaters do their best to show smth, but little success, injuries can be to blame, but some skaters just do it so easily. Their routine was the best among other skaters at Skate Canada". In my opinion, this commentator fancies this couple. All the skates i heard him comment on put him in high spirits. Every time he seems mesmorised by their performance, especially Scott's posture, attitude toward his partner on and off ice. He tries to solve his secret, but fails to.
That was a commanding performance. Although it's a difficult program to perform, you'd think otherwise based on the ease and fluidity of this program. They've made their claim for the Olympic gold medal. Just wonderful!
Это не только катание турнира это катание сердец Тессы и Скотта и сердец всех присутствующих зрителей и зрителей у экранов. Это чистейшая радость и наслаждение.
Scott is so lovely to Tessa. Scott represents the figure of a true gentleman towards his maiden , in the present case Tessa. And if Tessa is an excellent dancer, so is Scott. He is an excellent dancer in Ice Dance, and masterfully leads his dance partner, Tessa. There are moments of pure delight and enchantment watching Tessa and Scott dancing on the ice rink.
i guess the dress is important but still, watch the skating for the skating, if you're more interested in what they are wearing than watch project runway. tessa is gorgeous regardless of what she wears.
Beautiful program, music, costumes, everything. I'm still not sure if I like the lift at 3:15, it seems almost impossible to do it smoothly but it is growing on me more and more every time I see it. The lift at 4:00 is absolutely gorgeous though, it's my favorite moment in the program for sure. As for the costumes, I think the simplicity of them works for this program, kinda like T/D's Bolero costumes, even though I'm not a big fan of Tessa's skirt in this one
Scott can deny it till the cows come home, he can deny it to himself, he can shout it from the rooftops, but he can't deny the feelings and love that come through for his "Beautiful Tessa". And, there is NO DOUBT that he'll have competition now, competition he's never had before! I think he must know that as of the Gold Medal skate. I sure don't think he's stupid. LOL.
I'm curious as to what the Russian commentator is saying and what he thinks about the program, especially since we haven't seen Domnina and Shabalin this season. Of course most commentators always praise the skaters from their own country but sometimes the Russians like the teams/skaters that are coached by Russians and credit their success to this.
I know Tessa and Scott are not Quebecois, but are they French-Canadian? Their last names sound French to me. P.S.: My ideal dance podium in Vancouver would include (in no particular order) Virtue and Moir, Davis and White, Kerr and Kerr, and Belbin and Agosto (one pair would have to tie for Bronze- HA HA). I haven't seen the Russian's program yet, so I cannot comment on them.
Nothing interesting, in fact :-) "...the relationship between Scott and his coach is very tender yet respectful blah blah blah" "...the program was definitely the highlight of the night, especially if one remembers the disastrous single skating and pairs. You can see that the coaches were enjoying the performance too..."
In FS, the best way to see how fast skaters are is to watch the speed at which the boards go by. V/M are pretty fast. Maybe not the same speed as D/W, but still fast.
Yes omg Tessa you always look so lovely but those boots were a nightmare, you have been compared to Torvill & Dean so go look at her boots they were ALWAYS SNOW WHITE!
The Russians & The French team will not have a chance at the Gold medal in Vancouver since they are barely seen this season & coming back for 1 competition in the Olympics will not bode well for them, no way they can give them an Olympic Gold based on one skate in Vancouver since they have not had time to train & prepare all season just like the French team of D&S. Sorry the Gold is between V&M & D&W but I see it going to V&M.
