@@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
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.
@@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
There will be no routine that can top this. This is the free skate that all future ice dancers will refer to, there’s just no beating the artistry, chemistry, passion and talent that Tessa and Scott hold
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.
but the audacity to play "I want Candy" after a skate routine that was literally the closest thing to a religious experience I've ever had...the only thing that should've been allowed to follow them was awe-struck scilence
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.
That moment in the first "Roxanne" when they nail the pose and the crowd goes crazy is one of my favorite things from the whole dance, they're brilliant.
This 4 minute is more intense than any romantic movies or drama series. Their chemistry, passion, expression just makes this performance so addictive - still watching in 2021 July. Can't imagine how much practices and injuries there are behind this perfect stage.
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
@@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...
Romain Haguenauer said this was the BEST he had ever seen Tessa and Scott skate this program. Even better than when they practiced it at their home rink.
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
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.
They ruined skating for me! No one touches what they have - the chemistry, the fluidity, the speed, the complicated lifts. I compare every skating pair to them and none measure up to them. The standard they set seems impossible for those skating now. I have saved all their routines so I can watch them when I need a pick me up. Miss you guys on the ice! Loved the time we got to watch you!
@@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!
Virtue and Moir have ruined ice dancing for me. I can’t help but compare every pair to Tessa and Scott and no one comes close to their grace, beauty, chemistry, etc. in fact, I’m spending this Winter Olympic rewatching all their routines.
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.
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
@@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...
@@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.
*Okay, but like, I can't be the only one who randomly clicked on this because I wanted to see some good skating and doesn't understand why everyone is talking about Netflix, right?*
So in 5 minutes I have discovered this beautiful video, fell in love with this amazing couple, found out that they retired from figure skating and that they are not in a relationship, actually he's engaged to another woman.
There’s a conspiracy theory that they’re married with a kid if that makes you feel any better 😅 their 2008 worlds and 2010 olympics performances started a decade of shipping for a lot of people
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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!!
@@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.
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
To those you don't know: this wasn't the original routine of Moulin Rouge in the 2017-2018 season. After many defeats by Papadakis/Cizeron in the Grand Prix competition, they re-choreographed the whole routine during the Christmas holidays, made it more dramatic, more exciting, and much more difficult than the prevous choreography. They debuted this brand new routine in the 2018 Canadian championship, which was only one month before the Olympics. This was really a leap of faith. I still remember the goosebumps I had when I first saw the beautiful routine at the Canadian Championship and in the Olympics, of course. Almost 5 years later, this is still one of the most beautiful performances in the Olympics history, and the determination behind this final routine is still as inspiring 👏
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.
Hello to the newbies, if you were wondering who Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are, here's a quick list of all their achievements. -The most decorated figure skaters of Olympic history (2010: 🥇, 2014:🥈🥈,2018:🥇🥇); - The youngest ever ice dance Olympic champions(20 and 22); -The first and only ice dancers to win gold at their first Olympics (Vancouver 2010); -the only ice dancers to win gold at the Olympics on home ice; -They are the first (and only) to complete a super career golden grand slam in both juniors and seniors (Worlds, Grand Prix Final, Four Continent and the Olympics). They are the goats of ice dance, probably the most versatile team, as showcased by all of their seniors' performances. And saying they are inspired by two characters from a Netflix show is a disservice to their achievements. Hopefully, you fall for them like we did and keep on watching all of their performances.
Its the opposite for me actually. Watching them is inspiring me to watch more ice skating even though I know they've spoiled me for everyone else hahahaha
@@izyaghaz yes, they are the best!!!! But we do have some good up and coming teams from juniors in Canada like Lajoie and Lagha who trained with them in Montreal, be on the lookout!
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.
It's funny how a lot of people are here because of the Netflix series Spinning Out. For me, it was the other way around: I've only watched the show because of scott and tessa!
but we need to tell olympics channel to upload their other performance too, the short dance, which earned a new world record score.. i tried uploading it myself but video was blocked for copyright :( got it from olympic channel in twitter and wanted to upload here XD
Thank you so much and u r absolutely right:) I searched the web for SD Olympics performance,gave up, so I got it from their twitter account now. How come they did not bother to post here as well?
i guess they normally don't post short dance or even short program of the other figure skating disciplines maybe.. but still they should make exceptions
You know, usually when you watch a video so many times it loses the original feeling you had when watching it.... but for some reason no matter how many times I watch this, it is always as epic as the first time
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!!
@@subibaig3027 afaik, it's the technical score where judges score the execution of the dance and stunts. Then there would be an added artistic(?) score where the emotion and artistry is judged hehe
+Sassy Medea FIGURE SKATING has four disciplines: women's, men's, pairs and ice dance. the video here shows ice dance. when you see two skaters doing jumps, throws and really high overhead lifts, then it's what you call pairsskating. women's and men's feature solo skaters who feature jumps in their programs. ice dance feature more dancing on ice. multiple rotation jumps, throws and overhead lifts are illegal/banned in ice dancing. really good ice dancers such as v/m will feature more choreography that actually resemble something you'd see on the dance floor, particularly with short dances
yes and the skating skills too. If you're really confused about ice dancing and pair figure skating, two moves that really differentiate between both of this disciplines are the twizzles and death spirals (like the obvious ones). In ice dancing, there will be twizzle (the one that you see they rotate on one feet across the ice rink together). In pair figure skating, death spiral is when the pair is pivoted to one place and holding his partner while rotating her in a circle. This element can only be seen in pair figure skating. Try watching savchenko and massot's routine on youtube. You will see the differences. Even for someone who is not familiar with figure skating, it's not difficult for them to notice this.
Starting with El Tango de Roxanne was a smart move, because you KNOW the audience was hooked as soon as that Spanish guitar played. Stellar performance, I had goosebumps the entire time.
@@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).
Most people watch the female dancer in pairs or ice dancing but Scott just catches my eyes. He is so skilled and did his moves so effortlessly, his skating skills is just flawless
You’re hardly the only person who thinks that. And it’s not like he’s catching your attention next to a plain, average skater. He’s catching your attention while skating with a stunning, near flawless partner herself. Yeah, he has a way of moving that is very commanding. Always did even as a kid.
Ok. So, I showed this to a friend yesterday (who has no knowledge about the VirtuexMoir internet soap opera) and his reaction was: "My life will be ruined if these two aren't together. Are they together?" Me: "No one knows for sure. But, they say they aren't..." Him: "I don't want to accept that." He speaks for us all.
Think of them as performers. Workers. Two workers that shared a dream together, a passion that woke them up every morning, for years, to make this exquisit performance come true. If they are together or not is irrelevant to this discussion. These are artists capable of a level of synchrony beyond expectations to a point that almost looks like they were only one person in two separate perfect bodies. Nothing more. Nothing less. Tell your friend to enjoy the show and, if possible, learn a little bit about the inmense abilities humans can master.
@@tomlinkxxx That's true, but dang, chill. As a ballroom dancer, it can be very difficult to separate partner from lover, and it takes immense focus and discipline to come to that agreement with your partner.
I'm not an Olympic judge....But how is this not perfection? This is literally one of the most beautiful, perfect things that I've ever seen two human beings do. This is the real-world version of "superheroes." We're not supposed to be able to do stuff like this.
Because the French have Didier who pays for everything. It’s all a game of money in figure skating. Look at ice dance now, if the federation pushes you and put enough money in for you to win then you’ll win and have 0 competition like the French now. They make any mistakes and they still win by over 20 points and they blame it on travelling.
I feel so happy that they won, and almost three years later I CANNOT get over that program. In my opinion they are one of the greatest ice dancers of all time... just Virtue and Moir
This will go down in history as the most beautiful gold medal performance ever, and both of Yuzuru's programs during this year. This Year was so goated.
tbh PyeongChang brought back so many fond memories of phenomenal performances. OMG VM and Yuzuru Hanyu, they are 🌟 stars 🌟 from the Galaxy. Imagine if only Yuna joined them and won Gold at the same year.
@@francescalee8934 that would honestly be so great 🥺 imagining yuna kim hasn't retired yet and won gold along with yuzu and moir-virtue, it makes me so emotional just thinking about it. now, not only yuna has retired but yuzuru and moir-virtue duo as well. watching their performance videos is bittersweet and nostalgic
Davis and White's performance in Sochi was far more beautiful than this. More sophisticated and elegant. Better twizzles, too. Tessa and Scott win when it comes to lifts (and they are very impressive, I fully admit), but otherwise I've never really understood their appeal. Savchenko and Massot also had a much more legendary gold medal performance than this. Truly classic and dramatic... I think they gave everyone chills with the greatness they displayed in the arena that night.
As a figure skater, my awe for this program is just insane. Knowing the complexity of every move, I have an even deeper appreciation for their skating ability.
Still one of the greatest performances ever, in any discipline, art or sport. Such a spectacular example of partnership so strong it seems like two bodies belonging to the same soul.
these legends really did close out the entire dance event to the most iconic interpretation of moulin rouge of all time and then simultaneously became the most decorated figure skaters of all time by winning their second gold at these games. i cannot. what legends. l e g e n d s
I cannot fathom the sheer level of skill here not only in skating, but also dancing, lifting, and even acting, as well as trust in your partner. This is truly art at its peak. I could write an essay about this performance
@@lavdoria510 lmao same- I used to think all duos were together or something, so its weird when they are siblings ( I cant imagine skating like this with my brother 0_0)
I've never forgot this moment. I watched it live through my TV and it hit me so hard. I can't listen to Moulin Rouge's songs without thinking about this routine. Historic.
I forced my husband to watch ice dancing this Olympics, which he did with polite tolerance through the other contestants. Then he watched Tessa and Scott and someone who has never watched ice dancing before said “I don’t know anything about this but even I can tell they are on a different level.” And if that doesn’t sum Virtue and Moir up then nothing does.
In 2020 when we were mostly confined to our homes, I would often watch Tessa and Scott skate on my computer. It brought joy to my life to see the beautiful stories they told on the ice. Then when I listened to interviews that they had done, I began to realize what exceptional people they are.
Did you guys notice during Roxanne Scott is chasing after Tessa like Christian is chasing after Satine. Finally in come what may, they are skating together in unison. So powerful!
Moulin Rouge is literally about a secret love affair that everyone knows about, and Come What May is the secret song they sing to each other during the performance to express their true, hidden love. I'M JUSSAYIN'.
Megan Stager I still don't believe Tessa and Scott would or will be secret lovers ....they just don't...I think they are the best ever buddies but if it were true at the end...well What A Beautiful Love Story 😄
I think they were lovers at some point, probably not for long, based on some little slips of the tongue they have made. Now, though, I think that Scott is in love with Tessa but she only loves him as a best friend. His body language, his actions, his longing looks and his words make me think this is true. He's still immature for his age, though, and I think he will outgrow it and find someone else eventually.
Well, maybe she is just better at hiding her feelings than Scott is. I guess time will tell. I think Scott is an awesome skater and has grown into a sweet man but I don't think Tessa would be a fool if she isn't interested in that way. I think she is a lot smarter and more sophisticated than Scott. I actually don't think they make a good couple off of the ice other than as friends.
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 ☺️☺️
@@Tonys_goomarshe’s how I got into hockey and I love her every year for refusing to wear the WAG jackets because, let be real she’s not the WAG in that relationship
This performance is also amazing because they clearly knew it would be their last Olympics, so for them to go on such a high note , with a song that declares in its final line “I will love you until my dying day” is just ….like, how can you TOP THAT 😩❤️
@@zilam98 exactly. The gold and silver medal ice dance performances were technically well done but only the bronze medalists Hubbell and Donohue (of the top 3) brought the same excitement, skill, and romance like Virtue and Moir. Plus the Spanish team.
I kind of pity the girl Scott got engaged to... it must be hard to be in love with a guy and then have the world wanting him to marry someone else... especially when that someone else is such a huge part of his life and their partnership was immortalized through videos like this
Ludmila Maiolini the girl that married him has the real thing when he comes home. When he’s on the ice they’re giving us the illusion, it’s beautiful but it’s not reality! 😊

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?

Here in 2023 and this is still the greatest ice dance routine I've ever seen
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!
I've never seen a figure skating couple so independantly powerful and yet so gracefully in synch at the same time
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
There will be no routine that can top this. This is the free skate that all future ice dancers will refer to, there’s just no beating the artistry, chemistry, passion and talent that Tessa and Scott hold
Yes that's one for the history, like Torvill and Dean at the 1984 olympics.
I agree
Very true

Well, actually Chock & Bates scored higher at 2022 Olympics! AMAZING!!!!
They didn’t just capture Gold. They captured everyone’s dreams and fantasies!

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.

but the audacity to play "I want Candy" after a skate routine that was literally the closest thing to a religious experience I've ever had...the only thing that should've been allowed to follow them was awe-struck scilence
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

They have more chemistry than the actual married couple team
couldn't be any truer
You can't say that, it's. Performing,,,,, all performances is exposure
But they,, if love, have closeness

I still go back to this and try to understand how she back flipped onto his shoulders. That takes a lot of power it’s incredible
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...
Romain Haguenauer said this was the BEST he had ever seen Tessa and Scott skate this program. Even better than when they practiced it at their home rink.
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
2:30, the greatest move in ice dancing history.
true was so amazed when I saw them do that
LITERALLY
To this day, I still wonder how it’s humanly possible

They ruined skating for me! No one touches what they have - the chemistry, the fluidity, the speed, the complicated lifts. I compare every skating pair to them and none measure up to them.

Scott just casually singing "I love you" to her while skating the most important skate of their lives. So platonic.
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
PEOPLE, SPINNING OUT COSTUMES AND CHARACTERS WERE INSPIRED BY TESSA AND SCOTT, not the opposite!!!

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!!

100% agree. I’ve never cried over a dance before
same here
I cried too! Just can't stop it🥺
Platonic love. Dynamic chemistry. Stellar timing. Physically poetic. A duo who has gained the hearts of many.
To those you don't know: this wasn't the original routine of Moulin Rouge in the 2017-2018 season. After many defeats by Papadakis/Cizeron in the Grand Prix competition, they re-choreographed the whole routine during the Christmas holidays, made it more dramatic, more exciting, and much more difficult than the prevous choreography. They debuted this brand new routine in the 2018 Canadian championship, which was only one month before the Olympics.
This was really a leap of faith. I still remember the goosebumps I had when I first saw the beautiful routine at the Canadian Championship and in the Olympics, of course. Almost 5 years later, this is still one of the most beautiful performances in the Olympics history, and the determination behind this final routine is still as inspiring 👏
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

Agreed. MY favourite figure skating routine of all time, nothing tops it!!
It's 2023, I'm watching this again, and it STILL gives me chills. Just wonderful.
Hello to the newbies, if you were wondering who Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are, here's a quick list of all their achievements.
-The most decorated figure skaters of Olympic history (2010: 🥇, 2014:🥈🥈,2018:🥇🥇);
- The youngest ever ice dance Olympic champions(20 and 22);
-The first and only ice dancers to win gold at their first Olympics (Vancouver 2010);
-the only ice dancers to win gold at the Olympics on home ice;
-They are the first (and only) to complete a super career golden grand slam in both juniors and seniors (Worlds, Grand Prix Final, Four Continent and the Olympics).
They are the goats of ice dance, probably the most versatile team, as showcased by all of their seniors' performances. And saying they are inspired by two characters from a Netflix show is a disservice to their achievements. Hopefully, you fall for them like we did and keep on watching all of their performances.
yessssss!
Yessss go Canada🇨🇦 we are so proud of them!
Its the opposite for me actually. Watching them is inspiring me to watch more ice skating even though I know they've spoiled me for everyone else hahahaha
@@izyaghaz yes, they are the best!!!! But we do have some good up and coming teams from juniors in Canada like Lajoie and Lagha who trained with them in Montreal, be on the lookout!

Thank God for RUclips so we can watch this incredible performance over and over again.
but we need to tell olympics channel to upload their other performance too, the short dance, which earned a new world record score.. i tried uploading it myself but video was blocked for copyright :( got it from olympic channel in twitter and wanted to upload here XD
Thank you so much and u r absolutely right:) I searched the web for SD Olympics performance,gave up, so I got it from their twitter account now. How come they did not bother to post here as well?
i guess they normally don't post short dance or even short program of the other figure skating disciplines maybe.. but still they should make exceptions
Perfection
I have lost count of how many times I have watched this now. At least once a week ~ I have butterflies when ever I watch
You know, usually when you watch a video so many times it loses the original feeling you had when watching it.... but for some reason no matter how many times I watch this, it is always as epic as the first time
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.

Ice dance will never be the same without them.
Like the way Christian will never be the same without Satine again...
stan smith what's the difference between ice dance and figure skating
Figure skating has more jumps, lifts and spins, ice dance is more like ballroom dancing on ice.
+Sassy Medea FIGURE SKATING has four disciplines: women's, men's, pairs and ice dance. the video here shows ice dance. when you see two skaters doing jumps, throws and really high overhead lifts, then it's what you call pairsskating. women's and men's feature solo skaters who feature jumps in their programs. ice dance feature more dancing on ice. multiple rotation jumps, throws and overhead lifts are illegal/banned in ice dancing. really good ice dancers such as v/m will feature more choreography that actually resemble something you'd see on the dance floor, particularly with short dances
yes and the skating skills too. If you're really confused about ice dancing and pair figure skating, two moves that really differentiate between both of this disciplines are the twizzles and death spirals (like the obvious ones). In ice dancing, there will be twizzle (the one that you see they rotate on one feet across the ice rink together). In pair figure skating, death spiral is when the pair is pivoted to one place and holding his partner while rotating her in a circle. This element can only be seen in pair figure skating.
Try watching savchenko and massot's routine on youtube. You will see the differences. Even for someone who is not familiar with figure skating, it's not difficult for them to notice this.
Starting with El Tango de Roxanne was a smart move, because you KNOW the audience was hooked as soon as that Spanish guitar played. Stellar performance, I had goosebumps the entire time.
@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).
Most people watch the female dancer in pairs or ice dancing but Scott just catches my eyes. He is so skilled and did his moves so effortlessly, his skating skills is just flawless
You’re hardly the only person who thinks that. And it’s not like he’s catching your attention next to a plain, average skater. He’s catching your attention while skating with a stunning, near flawless partner herself.
Yeah, he has a way of moving that is very commanding. Always did even as a kid.
“And are currently in… First Place.”
YEAHH!!!
I’ve watched that reaction like 8 times in a row now, the sheer emotion behind it 😭😭😭
Tessa's excited scream was cute too
I can’t get over it omg
Omg same I watch it over and over again 😂
Ok. So, I showed this to a friend yesterday (who has no knowledge about the VirtuexMoir internet soap opera) and his reaction was: "My life will be ruined if these two aren't together. Are they together?"
Me: "No one knows for sure. But, they say they aren't..."
Him: "I don't want to accept that."
He speaks for us all.
Nikolija Gigov lol!!
Moooood
Think of them as performers. Workers. Two workers that shared a dream together, a passion that woke them up every morning, for years, to make this exquisit performance come true. If they are together or not is irrelevant to this discussion. These are artists capable of a level of synchrony beyond expectations to a point that almost looks like they were only one person in two separate perfect bodies. Nothing more. Nothing less. Tell your friend to enjoy the show and, if possible, learn a little bit about the inmense abilities humans can master.
@@tomlinkxxx That's true, but dang, chill. As a ballroom dancer, it can be very difficult to separate partner from lover, and it takes immense focus and discipline to come to that agreement with your partner.
They made you feel like the were so in love...think they will always care for each other but they are not a couple off theice.
I love the fact that they actually sing the song. It just adds more drama in the performance❤️
They are magical.
Do you know what is the songs?

In my humble opinion they out skated the French couple hands down! They should have been 1st after the long program not 2nd! Just sayin.
@@jessiestephens3943 I agree
Because the French have Didier who pays for everything. It’s all a game of money in figure skating.

They make any mistakes and they still win by over 20 points and they blame it on travelling.

period!!!!!
Alina was great as well. I'm happy she won over constantly gasping Medvedeva
Davis and White's performance in Sochi was far more beautiful than this. More sophisticated and elegant. Better twizzles, too. Tessa and Scott win when it comes to lifts (and they are very impressive, I fully admit), but otherwise I've never really understood their appeal. Savchenko and Massot also had a much more legendary gold medal performance than this. Truly classic and dramatic... I think they gave everyone chills with the greatness they displayed in the arena that night.

Still one of the greatest performances ever, in any discipline, art or sport. Such a spectacular example of partnership so strong it seems like two bodies belonging to the same soul.
That's called Twin Flames. Which doesn't always have to be romantic.
Everyone except them *knows* that they’re soulmates 😭
Oh well there’s no rush…
so true!
❤❤❤
these legends really did close out the entire dance event to the most iconic interpretation of moulin rouge of all time and then simultaneously became the most decorated figure skaters of all time by winning their second gold at these games. i cannot. what legends. l e g e n d s
this makes me cry as this is their final Games :(
Yep
Jessie Aapd 100% alladis 👆🏾
zilam98 it was the final of Denis Ten too ;-;
I cannot fathom the sheer level of skill here not only in skating, but also dancing, lifting, and even acting, as well as trust in your partner. This is truly art at its peak. I could write an essay about this performance
I mean, just type their names and PeyongChang into Google Scholar, people have written actual published academic articles on this performance. 😅
When the first ROXANNE hits, and the crowd go CRAZY, you know right there this is going to be legendary👏👏👏
Constanza Navarro bruh
they’re mouthing the words to each other. they may not be romantically involved with each other but they are definitely soulmates.
❤❤❤❤😭🥹
I was like oh this is their JAM 😂
soul mates for sure
they honestly look like they're in love
thats the point actually
Ela uh not really, there’s tons of brother sister duos there
@@morganmarsh1276 yeah but the point in ice dancing is to act like you have a lot of chemistry. It adds to the performance :)
@@evabakker the sibling duos kinda creep me out
@@lavdoria510 lmao same- I used to think all duos were together or something, so its weird when they are siblings ( I cant imagine skating like this with my brother 0_0)
I've never forgot this moment. I watched it live through my TV and it hit me so hard. I can't listen to Moulin Rouge's songs without thinking about this routine. Historic.
I forced my husband to watch ice dancing this Olympics, which he did with polite tolerance through the other contestants.
Then he watched Tessa and Scott and someone who has never watched ice dancing before said “I don’t know anything about this but even I can tell they are on a different level.”
And if that doesn’t sum Virtue and Moir up then nothing does.
In future I will forced my husband! 😅😆🤗
it's been almost a year and I still watch it every. single. day.
its been well over a year now but same
Commitment👌🏽
Same
I mean same!! I'm glad im not the only one! But this was their last performance right?
omg sameee
It’s 2021. Still iconic.
always
In 2020 when we were mostly confined to our homes, I would often watch Tessa and Scott skate on my computer. It brought joy to my life to see the beautiful stories they told on the ice.
Then when I listened to interviews that they had done, I began to realize what exceptional people they are.
Did you guys notice during Roxanne Scott is chasing after Tessa like Christian is chasing after Satine. Finally in come what may, they are skating together in unison. So powerful!
Moulin Rouge is literally about a secret love affair that everyone knows about, and Come What May is the secret song they sing to each other during the performance to express their true, hidden love.
I'M JUSSAYIN'.
Megan Stager I still don't believe Tessa and Scott would or will be secret lovers ....they just don't...I think they are the best ever buddies but if it were true at the end...well What A Beautiful Love Story 😄
I can’t believe they are but I can’t believe there aren’t!
I think they were lovers at some point, probably not for long, based on some little slips of the tongue they have made. Now, though, I think that Scott is in love with Tessa but she only loves him as a best friend. His body language, his actions, his longing looks and his words make me think this is true. He's still immature for his age, though, and I think he will outgrow it and find someone else eventually.
Well, maybe she is just better at hiding her feelings than Scott is. I guess time will tell.
I think Scott is an awesome skater and has grown into a sweet man but I don't think Tessa would be a fool if she isn't interested in that way. I think she is a lot smarter and more sophisticated than Scott. I actually don't think they make a good couple off of the ice other than as friends.
Bev Peterson In the words of Chuck Berry, "C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell."
The performance is undeniably incredible but can we talk about their reaction when it ends? Or his reaction when they win? Pure elation
I love how Patrice reacts, he's ''oooou'' and proceeds to tell Tessa ''that's enough, you won!''
Math formulas meme in live action hahhaah
Watching Marie-France jump when Scott yells "YESSSSS" makes me laugh every time lol
@@ana-andreaholikova7655 Yes, and watching Scott looking puzzled until it's actually announced that they're in first place is hilarious!
I'm sure they both perform fantastic individually but I cannot imagine them doing solo routines. They belong on the ice together.
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 ☺️☺️
@@Tonys_goomarshe’s how I got into hockey and I love her every year for refusing to wear the WAG jackets because, let be real she’s not the WAG in that relationship
this is literally the most enchanting performance ever
This performance is also amazing because they clearly knew it would be their last Olympics, so for them to go on such a high note , with a song that declares in its final line “I will love you until my dying day” is just ….like, how can you TOP THAT 😩❤️
indeed! and i dont think the 2022 olympics will be as glorious for ice dance as 2018 has been
2022 ice dancing were all boring I stop watching
Wait why
@@meep9963 what do you mean why?
@@zilam98 exactly. The gold and silver medal ice dance performances were technically well done but only the bronze medalists Hubbell and Donohue (of the top 3) brought the same excitement, skill, and romance like Virtue and Moir. Plus the Spanish team.
I kind of pity the girl Scott got engaged to... it must be hard to be in love with a guy and then have the world wanting him to marry someone else... especially when that someone else is such a huge part of his life and their partnership was immortalized through videos like this
Ludmila Maiolini Tessa and Scott are friends. Nothing more. They will vehemently deny any romantics relationship.
@@peggirl152 I think so too...but I kinda think he has a sort of physical desire, I don't know why
@@@vespiqueen1984 I also had this impression from watching their interviews, I felt a bit sorry for him. Maybe I'm just totally mistaken xD
Totally agree dude😩
Ludmila Maiolini the girl that married him has the real thing when he comes home. When he’s on the ice they’re giving us the illusion, it’s beautiful but it’s not reality! 😊
Here again cause yep, spinning out definetely got a copy of Tessa and her dress
Charlotte D I noticed that too!!! Came to see the real thing because it makes me cry every time 🥺
Charlotte D yes :c
I was sooo excited about it
Not only dress, but hair too😃😍
well, kat is based off of tessa so it makes sense
