Juliann, I couldn't agree with you more. Tessa and Scott's ability to pull off literally anything that a choreographer could imagine--performing it brilliantly, effortlessly--has had the effect of inspiring the designers themselves. Torvill and Dean used to complain about how hard it was to keep coming up with new moves, but Virtue and Moir's versatility has resolved that issue by elevating choreographic creativity and imagination to a level never seen before.
The way her legs whipping through like a windmill @ 1:37 and the lift @ 4:05 with her extending into the sky not holding back at all and carrying full speed, these 2 moves should be NAMED after them.
Tessa moves like nobody else. She is so graceful, has such elegant arms & body & is so expressive in using them, They are so beautiful & mesmerizing to watch. I never tire of watching VM.
I'm not an emotional person but the fact that it's their last Nationals made me emotional. What they've done for the sport it will never be matched. And that moulin rouge song at the end just made my tears fall.
It's a modern Shakespeare story painted by Leonardo da Vinci being unfolded right before us, so much depth, detailed and 3D. There is no TURN-IN knees or DISTORTED body lines whatsoever. She is a jewel and he is the perfect crown for her, absolutely the royalty of ice dance today.
Some people see "stiff" and "junior," I see flawless technique of artistry and athleticism. Ice dance should be about more than "flow" and looking pretty.
Don't think either, but if that was by a few points, it's more the way they performed that is so perfect ! I mean they skated perfectly so after that the scores are obviously going to be big
I am ... spellbound... Tessa and Scott are better than ever and their programs are stellar. 21 years together as a skating couple is what gives them their edge. I can taste gold...
This a real dance out there, blood and bones, man and a woman. This is the experience I want to live when I watch the Dance. So grateful for them to compete again! Way to go guys!
I can't get enough of them either. I only discovered them on youtube about 3 months ago and fell in love with them. With Tessa, Scott and their performance!!!
I love this program, I love them they are such amazing people so down to earth. Thank you Tessa and Scott for all you have done for this sport. My heart is with you. Simply amazing.
In response to Christian Margeric who claims that Papadakis and Cizeron are the future of ice dance, I offer this response: They have been skating the same safe and pretty ballet for at least three years. Very well mind you, but just that, safe and pretty. Perhaps you did not get the memo. Ice Dance is an Olympic sport since 1976. Mute the music and replace it with last year’s music, or the year before that, there’s hardly any difference. If the future of ice dance is safety in sameness, we are doomed. Thankfully we have teams like Virtue and Moir and others who are not afraid of renewing themselves, exploring other genres and taking chances.
Christian Argeric has changed its name. It is now called Jean merdemonreal. Translated, this is supposed to mean “ I get under Montreal’s skin “. Again, it has overevaluated its importance to us.
...but you don't seem to understand that beside their very ballet-like free programs, they show off their other styles in the short dances. V/M skate a very brutal LP - It just hits you in the face and that's it. I don't see the emotion in their slow sections, there is a total loss on presentation - They just DON'T sell Satine and Christian properly and I say this because Moulin Rouge is one of my favourite movies of all time, not to take them down, but because they lack acting ability.
Rafe Archer We will have to disagree on this. I think their acting abilities are second to none. Even when they were younger and less experienced they were great performers. If anything I think they overact in this one, especially Scott. For what’s it worth, I’m not entirely sold on this program choice. I much prefer Papadakis and Cizeron in the free, even if we can argue that they are playing it safe. What i find distracting in this program is the sense that I’m watching two different programs. It’s almost as if they are pushing the technical aspect in the first half, then they banter to the audience with the more cutesy music at the end. Although I will admit they are pushing themselves. They have added more difficulty in the second half, with added twizzles.
Exactly, it's his overacting, but overacting is being part of having not much acting or drama knowledge. They still really need to improve on that part 'til the Olympics. In their first version of their program, they wanted the ending to be a silent masterpiece with showing the scene of the curtain falling and Satine dying - I guess they removed it to get more PCS - I as a coach or skater would have done it differently: I would have stayed with the curtain falling at the end, but I would also have shown the finale right before it - musically, it would have been possible.
This program impresses me so much because it emphasizes their versatility. If ice dance is the marriage between athleticism and artistry, this program is a fine example. I think their acting is on point and they sell the story beautifully.
I came back to watching ice dance skating only because of them. After many many years when I did not watch any performances at all. I don''t know what I will gonna do when they are retired.
Anyone who had doubts about this program must watch this free dance in the olympic team event. They absolutely perfected the routine and it was stunning!
Im still watching this routine for enjoyment. What I love the most about it is you can truly see and feel the trust, understanding and love for the sport between these two!!! It's incredible to watch all of these incredible athletes push themselves to the Limit because of their determination and motivation. AND here I am, tripping UP the stairs and running into walls. Lmaoo!
Let's not forget (as most people do) that Torvill and Dean achieved perfect scores of 9 x 6.0 for artistic impression in international competition not just once (Olympics 1984 being the one everyone seems to remember), but four times in total, the other occasions being the World Championships in Helskinki in 1983, for their Barnum free dance, and the Worlds in in Ottawa in 1984, where they achieved the perfect score for both the original set pattern dance (the equivalent of today's short dance) as well as for the free dance. They also achieved a perfect row of sixes for their free dance in the British Championships in 1994. There was a lot more to them than just Boléro!
This is beyond ice dance... People who said that this is simple...it s a tango basically so you do the math. P/C is a wonderful program thanks to the glorious choreography but it's not so demanding as this one. And beside, they always dance on the same kind of music... There is no story behind, it's just skating fast and doing languid and fluid movements, which I really like and appreciate but they are not as skilled and as versatile as this two. Certainly P/C have all the potential to become great champions but I don't think that this season the Canadians deserve second place, they deserve first for all the above mentioned. It will be very tough in peyongchang!
Making it look easy doesn't mean it is easy. P/C choreo are very demanding. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Many skaters can do a V/M type of program. How many could do P/C with such virtuosity ? There is a reason why they are so successful.
PERFETTI, questa coreografia è ancora più bella, più intensa più ricca di difficoltà, più veloce e cresce fino alla fine lasciandoti senza fiato STUPENDI
This is the best I've seen then skate this program! I love it so much. It'll take them to the Olympics on a high note. This program is so unique. I love it so much but I feel like the judges won't. P/C will probably win the gold but I think its going to be super close and Tessa and scott won't go down without a fight.
Ксюша Ефимова Yeap scott skated better here and emotion wise they gave it all. This was better to watch than in GPF. But I still think they need to have more in order to beat the french and the changes that hubble and donohue made to theirs can even challenge this routine. I hope they skate perfectly during the olympics. They are still my favorite to win.
Christian Argeric has changed its name. It is now called Jean merdemonreal. Translated, this is supposed to mean “ I get under Montreal’s skin “. Again, it has overevaluated its importance to us.
For me..no one is perfect only tessa/moir star on ice in the world..though seem fake romance but in my imagine the act as the real couple..love u both..lucy from philipines
Сатана дає кому хоче в цьому світі славу, а душу людську губить.Ця слава людська тимчасова, минає людське життя, як пара що на хвилю з 'являється , дальше чекає людину суд Божий за гріх, за ідолопоклонство- це ті люди котрі поклоняються чину рук своїх і шанують дерево, камінь, золото, бо Божество не подібне до каменя, до золота чи срібла, чи твору мистецького , або людської вигадки...
I have just copied and pasted some of French commentator + dharma ms disparaging comments on North American skaters on the P and C videos. Moving forward, this is how I will deal with her and the others . Let their countrymen read what they are saying.
I'm well aware of this Christian fellow. You do what you feel best. To engage in him gives him power and voice. Best approach is not even to reason with him. Past and present (Junior and Senior) skaters speaks very highly of v/m's skating talent and skills for years now. Their voice and opinion count the most, even he (Christian) or others like him can't take away any of it with his/their words nor compete (professional skaters) with that. Tessa and Scott know this too.
Tracy Wilson says they are the best ice dancers ever. That may be true. But. What Tracy doesn't know (or knows but won't comment on), is that this sport is controlled by the corrupt ISU. The ISU wants the French team to win the Olympics because it's their turn. The Canadians don't stand a chance - even with their well deserved perfect scores here at Canadian Nationals. You cannot defeat the ISU - even if you are perfect. That may be unfair, but it is the reality of figure skating. Mark my words - the medals have already been decided and handed out and it sadly will be Silver for Virtue and Moir at the 2018 Olympic Games.
Galileocan g you’ll have to explain that one to me. How is it their turn, or anyone else’s ? If there were pressure politics going on, I would be more worried about Skate Canada and the Americans. That’s where all the money is, and where almost all the choreographers and coaches are. Without the North Americans the ISU is toast. And remember, no Russian officials this time, which means one less collusion opportunity for Didier Guailhaguet. In any case, all the conspiracy theories when your favorite team doesn’t come first are really tiresome and only discredit skaters and the sport. I’m quite confident that the IOC will have a close eye on the ISU.
Well I guess V/M showed that they are the best ice dancers ever to the point the judges couldn't, in all good conscience, put the French pair on top of the podium.
Jesus, you must be kind of nuts to believe Didier has some kind of power. LOL The man is useless and many people would just want him to disappear. Sadly, no one wants to take over. The french fed is an old powerless lady. Anyone thinking otherwise gives us way too much credit lol
Yupp, that's better ^^ It's gonna be a tough fight in Pyoengchang depending on what the judges will favorize in the FD. Now there's a story from beginning 'til end (It still could be worked out better, but the ending is okay). Still can't get over P/C and their performances. It's really odd, but over the last couple years the French became my favorite pair and Virtue/Moir were my favorite pair before. I always liked different styles and always started to root for a pair that's succesful but skating differently than everybody else in the field. It's like V/M perfectionized the technique of this sport and P/C revolutionized the artistry. It's gonna be a photo finish :o)
Everybody has it's own style and lives up to it. It's quite inappropriate to bash people for that. There were no valid points left to bash P/C properly so you people decided to "phantom-criticize" them. Not cool.
I don't criticize them for their style. I criticize them for not daring or even trying to do anything different, sticking with their comfort zones. Every single team has their comfort zone and style yet every single one of them has taken risks and elevated the sport doing so. I have no respect for skaters who do the same routine year after year after year. And I have plenty to criticize Gabrielle about. Number one being her crooked knees. Dancing is supposed to be beautiful to look at but her posture is atrocious, and her skating skills at the junior level. Guillaume skate rings around her and deserves a much better partner. He is great, she not so much.
Lol! Then don't you ever wonder that people are that furious and criticize Tessa for being a "slow cow". How people can not see the beauty of the French is totally beyond me. Both pairs have qualities and everyone will chose whoever they like, plain simple. Gabriela is a beautiful young woman and already one of the greatest ice dancers of all time. Yes, dancing can be beautiful - when you understand that dancing is not mainly about kitsch, but about natural moves. Hardly anyone wants the best technicians, because very often they are boring. V/M are not boring, but there's not enough soul left from their younger skating years. They're simply outdated. It's not up to date to force perfection. Let it gooo, let it gooo... it's really that easy :D
This is a great program! Wonderful technique and beautiful skating, but it still won’t be enough to beat the French team at the Olympics. Unfortunately scoring this year has already shown that P/C are scoring higher than V/M so the OGM is there’s barring any major foul ups with their skating. Hopefully V/M will just enjoy the moment, which I know they will and will be proud of their overall success in returning to amateur skating.
Whoever choreographs their programs is fricking amazing
Juliann, I couldn't agree with you more. Tessa and Scott's ability to pull off literally anything that a choreographer could imagine--performing it brilliantly, effortlessly--has had the effect of inspiring the designers themselves. Torvill and Dean used to complain about how hard it was to keep coming up with new moves, but Virtue and Moir's versatility has resolved that issue by elevating choreographic creativity and imagination to a level never seen before.
In this case it's Samuel Chouniard and Marie-France Dubreuil. Before their come-back its was Marina Zueva.
Tessa also choreography with them.
Los mejores del mundo 😍🌍 Nadie los Iguala
Si hubiera vida en otro planeta, también serían los mejores 🥇🌹😍🌟⛸️

To bad that violin can only play one tune, though. V&M are like an entire orchestra in their range and versatility.
OMG! When Come What May came on I almost cried. They connected to the song so well.
Waige Jisbon EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!
Well chosen music, 'Come What May'.
"I love you till the end of time" are their words to each other...... so appropriate!
I dont think that this was overscored. Well deserved.
Don't think either, but if that was by a few points, it's more the way they performed that is so perfect ! I mean they skated perfectly so after that the scores are obviously going to be big
They really weren't. They didn't put a foot wrong. THE BEST ice dance performance in history - if only they can repeat it at the Olympics
Floggy87 Best ice dance? where is the record book?
@lau victor Encyclopedia Britanica pgs 1,245 paragraphs 8-16
It's good but it's not the best program ever. You all need to calm down ^^
This program when I watch it makes me think like I am watching a movie feels so real
Perfect score for perfect Tessa and Scott !
I am ... spellbound... Tessa and Scott are better than ever and their programs are stellar. 21 years together as a skating couple is what gives them their edge. I can taste gold...
It's true, the BEST ice dancing ever. Watching them is an experience that you never forget.

I will never get bored of watching this!
I’m in love with their love...or at least the love they portray. Magical performance!
Beautiful couple, and skaters god bless them on their journey to the Olympics. Perfection at its best. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
They will always be the best! So amazing!!!❤️
Enjoy these legends while you still can folks.
actually want to cry over their perfect score ❤️
In response to Christian Margeric who claims that Papadakis and Cizeron are the future of ice dance, I offer this response:

PERFECT SCORE!! :O
ABSOLUTE HIGHEST POSSIBLE! I AM DEAD.
This judges were not fucking around!
I agree. They were absolutely perfect and if anyone deserves those scores it's them! But it's just so surreal 😂
Music is now perfect!
209,82 pts 😂😂😂 It's a joke....
These two deserve every accolade. They are simply the best and I am an American who is rooting for them to win gold in Pyeongchang.
Im still watching this routine for enjoyment. What I love the most about it is you can truly see and feel the trust, understanding and love for the sport between these two!!! It's incredible to watch all of these incredible athletes push themselves to the Limit because of their determination and motivation.
AND here I am, tripping UP the stairs and running into walls. Lmaoo!
Que coisa mais bonita, fala sério.
FANTASTIC and her back is goals
Simply the best icedancers ever !
Legends! Thank you for everything Tessa and Scott
The best Ice Dance pair ever... and it takes something to top Torvill and Dean. Virtue and Moir have done it.
Let's not forget (as most people do) that Torvill and Dean achieved perfect scores of 9 x 6.0 for artistic impression in international competition not just once (Olympics 1984 being the one everyone seems to remember), but four times in total, the other occasions being the World Championships in Helskinki in 1983, for their Barnum free dance, and the Worlds in in Ottawa in 1984, where they achieved the perfect score for both the original set pattern dance (the equivalent of today's short dance) as well as for the free dance.

This is PERFECT ! Amazing 😍😍😍
They make such a great team. And she is so elegant! I'm toasting myself right now.
Pure perfection!!!!!!!!!
Love the emotion and acting. My favourite dance people
God i love them
5:07 He predicted the future :o
Changes in program are amazing, the posibilitys in Olympics Game are better but... I still nervous.

So true! The changes they made are amazing. But the competition is really tough!

Esto es el resultado,de esfuerzo, trabajo, y disciplina, dos patinadores para recordarlo, Tessa y Scott..👏❤❤🙌
Absolutely stunning !
Doskonała choreografia i zachwycające wykonanie!

O Scott por ser um homem pequeno fez uma incrível história nos levantamentos! Eles são os melhores do mundo 👏 🌎 👏
Legends
Your dance makes me wanna keep living
Absolutely stunning. Thank-you for posting.
that was perfect!
Amazing!!! Like the new ending.
I believe Scott said "I'll love you till the end of time"
What do you think? :)
Phenomenal !
Amazing work!!
speechless i m big fan of them
incredible!
So beautiful
This is the best I've seen then skate this program! I love it so much. It'll take them to the Olympics on a high note. This program is so unique. I love it so much but I feel like the judges won't.

well history has shown otherwise :)
Perfect performent
Они непревзойденные уникальные божественный единственные в своем роде и неповторимые. Любите их❤❤❤❤
Me encanta que su vestimenta nunca fue extravagante, siempre tuvieron clase a diferencia de muchos otros patinadores.
WOW!!! The most beautiful, charming, sexy, talented, gorgeous, and BEST ice dancers ever! 🤩💕🌹👍
YES MAKE CANADA PROUD AT THE OLYMPICS YAAAAS
Better than T and D ... WOW!
Wow, much better than in GPF. Scott looks much slimer and the program lighter
Ксюша Ефимова Yeap scott skated better here and emotion wise they gave it all. This was better to watch than in GPF. But I still think they need to have more in order to beat the french and the changes that hubble and donohue made to theirs can even challenge this routine. I hope they skate perfectly during the olympics. They are still my favorite to win.
É o casal mais lindo do mundo.
Familiarity does not breed contempt here obviously.......only perfection.
The greatest ice dance team of their generation. I can’t ever see another team as good as them
I have sent a consolation message to the 3 top french trolls this morning 20 FEB they must be beside themselves in agony
ROTFL
YESSSSSS.....
🤣😄😉😊
Best dance team after T&D and G&P. Living legends.
G&P have not worn well.
They’re not new tho, they’ve been skating together since 1997
We love cunniliftus
Perfect chemistry.!
I realized they improve there routin and it's better
Es una verdadera lástima que ni uno solo de los videos, las explicaciones no tengan subtitulado en Español
7:29 WHAT DID HE SAY
Christian Argeric has changed its name. It is now called Jean merdemonreal. Translated, this is supposed to mean “ I get under Montreal’s skin “. Again, it has overevaluated its importance to us.
I'd really appreciate a non-laggy video of this.
The wishper sais i lov u so much
For me..no one is perfect only tessa/moir star on ice in the world..though seem fake romance but in my imagine the act as the real couple..love u both..lucy from philipines

Has anyone realised Tessa does look like a brunette Nicole Kidman in that updo and make up.
Are they lovers or not ??!
Please some answer me
I can't imagine them separately
They are peefect and great ice dancing couple
Is that Tom Waits singing "Roxanne"?
Hello everyone please read the latest comment from Christian Margeric. How low can he go ?
I'm well aware of this Christian fellow. You do what you feel best. To engage in him gives him power and voice. Best approach is not even to reason with him. Past and present (Junior and Senior) skaters speaks very highly of v/m's skating talent and skills for years now. Their voice and opinion count the most, even he (Christian) or others like him can't take away any of it with his/their words nor compete (professional skaters) with that. Tessa and Scott know this too.
Ummm so sorry to break the news to you but the judges are from around the world!
they changed the program a little...!
Wonder schoonPrachtig Dirk v garderen holland
Are they a couple?
I wonder if they're gonna laugh like this at the OG... maybe not.
And they got 2 golds ^^
how come this choreo is different than the one in the olympics?
Song?
Roxanne and come what may both from the movie moulin rouge
Too bad the camera operator missed the entire fantastic mood set up by filming from the FREAKING MOON in the beginning! 🤬
Tracy Wilson says they are the best ice dancers ever. That may be true. But. What Tracy doesn't know (or knows but won't comment on), is that this sport is controlled by the corrupt ISU.

I have no respect for skaters who do the same routine year after year after year. And I have plenty to criticize Gabrielle about. Number one being her crooked knees. Dancing is supposed to be beautiful to look at but her posture is atrocious, and her skating skills at the junior level. Guillaume skate rings around her and deserves a much better partner. He is great, she not so much.
Lol! Then don't you ever wonder that people are that furious and criticize Tessa for being a "slow cow". How people can not see the beauty of the French is totally beyond me. Both pairs have qualities and everyone will chose whoever they like, plain simple. Gabriela is a beautiful young woman and already one of the greatest ice dancers of all time. Yes, dancing can be beautiful - when you understand that dancing is not mainly about kitsch, but about natural moves. Hardly anyone wants the best technicians, because very often they are boring. V/M are not boring, but there's not enough soul left from their younger skating years. They're simply outdated. It's not up to date to force perfection. Let it gooo, let it gooo... it's really that easy :D
@@rafearcher7882 really that easy when you're just staying in your comfort zone, like your LAZY and ARROGANT p/c who can't be bothered to take risks
Wow sharp sharp sharp! Inflated scores and Canadian judges make it over the top inflated. But they are stunning here!
Lol the difference in the scores is ridiculous xDD
O
This is a great program! Wonderful technique and beautiful skating, but it still won’t be enough to beat the French team at the Olympics. Unfortunately scoring this year has already shown that P/C are scoring higher than V/M so the OGM is there’s barring any major foul ups with their skating. Hopefully V/M will just enjoy the moment, which I know they will and will be proud of their overall success in returning to amateur skating.
So glad your crystal ball was a bit off.
ahahahahahaha well v/m enjoyed their moment AND GOT THE GOLDS nyahahahahaha poor bitter you
