They are definitely a fantastic skating couple/pairing and work so well together. I love the fact they wore plain black costumes with no adornment. That helped create the atmosphere as our eyes weren't dazzled by sequins et al. Beautiful.

@silviac221

Elegant, strong, confident are the best words to describe both of them, I think.

This reminded me about how much I used to love figure skating, especially couples. This couple is a perfect combination of all of my reasons- the grace and *trust,* (seriously, the trust, even on its own, is breathtaking), the acrobatic feats defying gravity and seemingly inhuman balance. Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Doesn’t hurt that they picked one of the most emotional songs for me; David’s cover of this song is amazing on its own. Watching two athletes pour their blood, sweat and tears into this song is just breath-taking. And I *love* when they’re looking into each other’s eyes. There’s something so meaningful (not necessarily romantic) there, even if it’s “just” a performance. Like I said before, the complete trust in each other is almost otherworldly.

I have watched skaters for over 50 years, without a doubt this is the MOST beautiful demonstration I have ever seen. It brought me to tears.

This brought tears to my eyes. I wonder if they know that their performance has this effect on people. Such beauty and grace.

My GOD humans are capable of SUCH BEAUTY!!

The gracefulness, their strength, passion, fluidity. Perfection. One of the best forms of art, language of the soul. As if they are one. And I have ice skated! This was not a easy routine but they made it appear effortless. Bravo!

This pair absolutely nailed the intensity of this song. I love Disturbed’s version and this program is just as powerful as the song. Bravo!

Chills every time. Great choreography, great heart, great athletic STRENGTH (can YOU kneel down on one skate while holding someone above your head???!!! - and at the END of a long routine??!) I am awestruck and this just reaches into the soul for some reason. Choking up here - it's just... human.

James has an amazing physique. She looks strong and solid, not the typical small-framed girl skater, but unmistakably of woman athlete. She matches Cipres' strong leaps and landings. Wished that their partnership lasted longer.

Their synchronization was fantastic!

They look like every heart beat and breath is in synch. These two might actually be the same person in two bodies. Incredible.

I've always enjoyed watching figure skating but this is really beyond anything I've ever seen. Such fluidity, grace and emotion. I can't even imagine the hours of practice that when into this brilliant performance.

I agree, I was blown away when I first saw it, but then so sad when I learned this: "Ciprès was under investigation by the United States Center for SafeSport, which investigates sexual abuse in Olympic sports, for having sent a picture of his penis to a 13-year-old girl who was a student at their training center; and further, that coaches Zimmerman, Silvia Fontana, and Vinny Dispenza were accused of having known about this and attempted to cover it up in the runup to the 2018 Olympics.[28] Zimmerman - who coached the 13-year-old as well as Cipres - was suspended by SafeSport in March 2021 for covering up the 2017 abuse, and shaming and threatening the girl after he found out about the incident.[29]..."(source: Wikipedia) How will humanity heal the screwed up sexuality that seems to have thrived during the patriarchal hierarchical systems that have dominated our societies for the past 4,000 years? (see Anne Baring's work for more about the Rise of the Divine Feminine.)

@@DRthistle I definitely felt the same way. This was my first time watching the figure skaters at the Olympics and had mixed emotions. I enjoyed the pairs, ice dancers and the singles men and women but none in my mind took me back to a place of enchantment, delight or held me on the edge of my seat in quiet anticipation like Vanessa and Morgan. They brought a romanticism that can not be duplicated. Vanessa and Eric can never bring that magic on the ice, nothing against Eric's skating but their's to me is a performance of two seasoned skaters. Vanessa and Morgan was Heart and Soul and we saw it. Have a great week David.
