This is one of the most exciting Olympic golds I've ever seen. The vibrant crowd, Tessa and Scott winning at their home, AMAZING!

And , their elegance in skating makes all the difference.

The program of Virtue and Moir draws the moment when you fall in love with the right person... It's absolutely magnificent!

There was only one possibility that Tessa and Scott wouldn't win the gold medal, ie if a meteorite had crashed into the Pacific Coliseum at the very end of their race.It didn't happen so that they won the Gold with an immaculate, inspired, touching and unforgettable performance.So soft and powerful, so sweet and passionate at the same time. It was like beeing under a spell from which no one was in a hurry to wake up

that cameraman's reaction at 2:54:56 wins!

there will never be another team that can skate with the same grace and class as virtue/moir have skated

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir just have such good chemistry its unbelievable. And when they dance its so elegant and relaxing. It makes me smile. I love them so much💕

Charlie, Meryl,Tessa,Scott their era was fantastic ❤️

This Mahler program is so beautiful. He handles her in the lifts so wonderfully. Everything is very definite. No skirt wrapped around he head and you can't see what's going on - like so many lift/spin combinations. He in particularly was so aware of his line and such beautiful extension.

I heard in an interview that Scott told Tessa they were second and she believed him. Then he told her the real news. That's probably why he was laughing when the camera focused on them. :)

After Tessa and Scott's announcement of returning back to competition, I had to come back and see their Olympic performance here.

i still remember randomly switching to the olympics to see this dance by virtue/moir. never cared for ice dance before, yet i was blown away by it. So great

Best Olympic golds ever!! It was such a beautiful ceremony, Tessa and Scott's happiness was contagious, I couldn't stop smiling ❤

Thank you so much!!!

Skating at it's finest brought to a pinnacle by the greatest ice dance team of all time: Virtue & Moir, showing us what they can truly do - pure skating and fundamental dance. Their free dance is deceptive in it's beauty in that they fool you into thinking that it's easy, a breeze. It's not. And that lift, so challenging, yet she doesn't even balance check and they never lose speed. Their knee bend and speed are the best in the field by a county mile and the intricacy and tenderness of the interpretation could have had the potential to come off contrived but they transcend such things and it draws you in so easily and so genuinely. There's a reason that Tessa and Scott are the most decorated in the history of the sport, but beyond that, there's a reason that they are so respected by everybody who meets them and works with them. There's a reason why everybody *wants* to work with them. Them and that free dance is always the standard I come back to when I think about what I like about ice dance. But their body of work doesn't stop there. They are one of very few ice dance teams and maybe the only ice dance team to ever be so diverse in their talents and programs in the fact that they excel at everything. If this free dance was all you could show me of them, I would say that they are great, show me the rest of their work and I call them the greatest.

Such an emotionally beautiful piece and performance, perfectly executed by such a graceful and elegant pair in Virtue x Moir. We will terribly miss watching you represent us in the next Olympics... much love, a fellow proud Canadian.

I think this was the moment the whole world fell in love with them.

Vanessa and Paul had such a wonderful skate. Meryl Davis and Charlie White were outstanding as well. They looked like two bumble bees buzzing across the ice. They both are such skilled athletes. Tessa and Scott were just so dreamy. Those were probably the most beautiful moments in Vancouver out of the whole games.

tessa and scott; spins in sync, everything perfect

It’s so interesting to see how young and still raw both Bates and Poirier were with their respective former partners compared to how they dance now. Also, I love catching glimpses of Romain Haguenauer from back then and how he doesn’t know eventually he with Marie France-Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon would coach the same gold medalists of this event two olympics later to their second Gold and will have created a fleet of amazing dancers to succeed Virtue/Moir.

I love Virtue and Moir ... by that lift by their rivals (2:37:30) still astounds me after a decade

I just HAVE TO mention Isabelle Delobel & Olivier Schoenfelder at 2:14:40 - how sweet and beautiful their FD was! Not to mention that Isabelle gave birth just a few months before! Absolutely loved their theme, the 'change' of costume throughout and their overall skating, pure joy of skating oozing from every move and gesture... What a way to say goodbye to their wonderful career! ❤️❤️

If you don't know the meaning of the word "perfection" and you can't able to get a dictionary, then skip to 2:49, watch the video till 2:54.20 and you will learn what perfection is.

Ah, I haven't seen that free dance in a while... so to watch Tessa and Scott again... takes my breath away. My favourite free dance of all time. Exquisite.

Came here again. This performance was absolutely amazing. They have proved to be THE BEST!!!!!!!

Super beautiful couple best dancers in Ice Skating figure that i ever seen..Congratulations Tesa n Scott

"It was like beeing under a spell from which no one was in a hurry to wake up" LOVED that! that is exactly how i felt too!

Tessa and Scott dance with graceful and regal movement, par excellence

Vancouver 2010 was easily my favourite Winter Olympiad. The fact that the Olympic Winter Games came to Vancouver sent even more tourists to Vancouver than ever before, and it was only the third time that Canada was the host city of the Olympics!

What a magical performance Tessa and Scott did! Absolutely beautiful!

Not now in 2019. They lost Osmond, Gabby has so many issues, and after that there is no one. In the men they fell apart at worlds and it is a few years for Gogolov. Messing is very old and Nam has not developed as hoped. The men are in big trouble. And in pairs and dance they are at best in the top five. It is rare but Canada has no medal threat right now.

IMO in the Ice Dance Olympic History there are three routines absolutely in one league of their own: Torvill&Dean Bolero in Sarajevo, Klimova&Ponomarenko Bach Air in Albertville and Virtue&Moir Malher in Vancouver. Three unreachable milestones for technique,execution, choreogray and interpretation.Seeing them is as reading the ice dance encyclopedia: you can find everything explained in.

The Italian teams are so elegant and fluid! I miss Federica Faiella and Massimo Scali so much, but I am hoping for another great season from Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte...

A wonderful effort by all of the top group. Well done by D&S overcoming that disastrous costume choice in the short and making their compulsory and free dances pay off at the podium. D&W made their case and totally deserved the silver medals, though I would have given them the top mark in the short dance on originality. That Bollywood still makes me smile. V&M were precision itself in the short and transcendent in the long. Champions indeed and deserving gold medalists! Marina Zueva's four kids lifted the bar and made me happy to be a skating fan again. :) The ceremony was terrific, as were all of the Vancouver ceremonies - well done Canada. I thought Salt Lake's skating ceremonies were lovely with the John Williams music as background, but Vancouver was no less appealing. These skaters got a beautiful memory to preserve, and gave us one as well with their outstanding performances.

I love Tessa and Scott so much...I'm so sad they're done with competition ice dance.

Какие все молодцы настоящие профессионалы и такие красивые. Но сердце тянется к Тессе и Скотту. Что у них за магия такая вместе и даже природная каждого из них. Ни у одного партнера мужчины нету такой осанки тела и головы как у Скотта и такого пластичного грациозного плавного нежного чувственного языка всего тела и мимики лица все движения легкие воздушные и элегантные. Хоть и не большого роста но как невесомо он ее поднимает и как осторожно опускает какие изящные прикосновения его рук какие трогательные у них касания какие выразительные взгляды. На льду у них языком тела танцуют душа и сердце и это совершенно прекрасно. Браво чемпионам из чемпионов. Эти их десять минут я готова смотреть и день и ночь и вечно.

nothing rushed nor contrived,blissfull. You feel it and want more

I totally agree! And Tessa and Scott are outstanding actually. Tomorrow night I'm going to see them at Nice !!!!!!!!!!

¡¡¡ Hermoso video!!! bello recuerdo de ese día, con cuanto amor y cariño, realizaron Tessa y Scott su carrera, orgullo de Canadá. 👏👏🇦🇷💞

had to rewatch this after they, tessa and scott announced their retirement : (

Tessa and Scott's flamenco was a masterpiece too, although more traditional. But in figure skating the marks are not decided just based on who has the best/most original program, even in ice dance. Many other factors play a huge role as well. Still, D/W OD had more original choreo, but V/M OD was a bit more difficult as a figure skating program.

2:54:54 the camera man celebrating 😂❤ I can't believe I hadn't notice it before (over Scott's head)

this olympic event was so better than sochi

The reverse lift at 2:03:15 is so cool

Meryl and Charlie’s character acting in this is everything!!! 😍😍😍 that was the moment I fell in love with ice dancing and it still makes my heart race

Thank you so, so much for uploading this. I have been looking for years for the Khikhlova/Novitski routine to Firebird simply for the third "movement". It's from a relatively unknown album by members of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, featuring Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister fame, and is one of my favorite albums for it's love letters to classical music. Hearing it on television for an international audience when I was 17 blew my mind, and I'm so glad I could find it again!

I’m watching this over again 10 years later & im just learning Chris Reed has passed. Cardiac arrest at 30 for a man that was in his best shape. My heart is broken. 😩💔 He had his whole life & career in front of him 🥺 wow! & to see the clip of him kissing his sisters forehead is so sweet 😢

Give me Tessa and Scott any day. They bring the magic and romance to ice dance.

Canadian Ice Dancers, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are already retired at Olympic, World, Grand, National, Skate, Trophy and more medals.

1:09:26 Anna and Luca were amazing! I just get chills every time!

@PVegas My goodness me... Tessa and Scott are incredible... just found this, even though its clearly been here for months!! Incredible... and yes... the whole competition was very very strong.

The Kerrs are so cool! The music, the costume, everything, such a joy to watch. I'm glad that mistake didn't influence the power of the rest of their performance, as there was so much to enjoy. And I also love the unisex vibe ot their performance, not only in that reverse lift, but also in the first spin, where he's doing the camel and she's holding his blade, which is usually the opposite. So cool and unusual altogether.

It's still true that someone else can beat them even though they're certainly the greatest of their generation and even though they stand to be very likely the greatest of all time at the end of their career.In sport competitions you can be beaten also if you're the best of the world.Certainly no one is able nowdays and will be able in the next future to give the audience the emotion they can put in their skating.I saw them in Nice.They didn't skate at their best.But they were magical anyhow.

No controversy, everything that happened on the ice showed up in the results. Though I'm Canadian, I'd still have been happy if Davis/White won. They were beautiful as well.

That OD of D/W was great but V/M skated closer together, had more relaxed and fluid handholds, and they pay far more attention to where they place their free leg. The last aspect is where D/W is rather weak, although they've improved on that in the last couple of years.

@JasonLee-nt5kt

4 жыл бұрын

I think D and W win on originality by V and M better captured the authenicness of their dance and technically performed it better although both teams are exceptional technicians. ON the other hand, D/S who came in 3rd were way over scored. I won't event bother to talk about their horrific costumes but I thought they did not necessarily capture the true aspects of original dance but rather gave a mock version of it. The rubbing of the noses at the end was almost making fun of the indigenous people in Northern Canada (now called Inuit, formerly Eskimos). Also, the facial expressions of the Russians lmost suggested they were making fun of the Aboriginal people. Technically too, they were not as strong as several teams that finished behind them.
