I agree with you completely there is just no one else on ice in any language to compare with these two.

[@wilhelmina8843]

0:15 love how he takes her hand and strokes her face before they take their opening position. A breathtaking performance despite the stumble. Maybe a little because of it. 4:38 I love how she stumbles into him in her haste to hug him. He's the one that always goes to hug her normally.

[@ManishaSumman]

Tessa knew how bad Scott would feel about the stumble, you can tell. And so does the coach, but it was a great save and such a beautiful performance all around!

[@grendaal2007]

Yeah, Tessa seems to be a very nice, giving and carring person. The whole performance after the stumble and directly after that she was only focused on comforting Scott... I hope she gets at least the same in return, when she needs support...

[@jennyw5976]

I just read their biography and a close friend of his had died just before this and his grandpa was extremely ill. Scott was calling this time period as being in "survival mode". You can tell he's fighting to hold on.

[@dimwitsadvocate6264]

I watched the 2018 Olympics yesterday where a couple got first place. They did everything perfectly - their technique was flawless. I was very impressed at their skill. But it didn't move me. Tessa and Scott skate with their heart and it is emotional. They move me. They reach my heart. I enjoyed Tessa and Scott MUCH more.

Yes, they have the ability to make you feel like you fall in love, it's like watching the best romance movie, but it only lasts 5 minutes.

[@mjamitche5245]

[@janhaveepanse944]

This magic is something no one can recreate, not even Gabriella and Guallime. Points and the actual connection formed with the audience are two separate things. You get to know this the way V/M enjoy and live there performances. Other ice dancers just performe their routines.

[@edukid1984]

I think a commentator said it best - V/M brings the kind of magic that Hollywood blockbusters like Titanic creates to the ice, while G/G's magic is more like those Oscar-winning love stories ala The English Patient. In that sense one could argue that V/M's performance has more mass appeal to the general audience.

[@sadisaid1378]

Not even Guillaume and Gabriella? Are you serious?

[@fatimabeirao4714]

Despite Scott's small fall, this performance was excellent. Without failing to praise Tessa's qualities as a dancer, the truth is that it is worth noting the determined and fluid way in which Scott conducted the entire performance of this wonderful musical composition, and also highlighting the enormous elegance and sensuality that Scott's notorious masculinity, and his enormous perfection of movements , brought to this exhibition. And, Scott's long hair added immense artistic flare to Scott's elegant silhouette. An excellent display, with perfection and elegance of movements. Scott and Tessa were brilliant.

[@mariaelvirazm]

MFD calling them my babies, is everything, they have always said ( MFD and Patrice) that since they competed against tessa and scott they took them under their wing, and never really saw them as rivals just as the future generation to lead Canada after their retirement, I feel like team Gadbois, is nothing like Team Canton, where you could clearly sense the favoritism, Team Gadbois has everyone's back equally and is SO nice to see that, hence why they are succeeding incredibly

[@evelegoff6330]

I'm french, I love P/C but I prefer these two... I follow them since the beginning, I loved all their programs, especially Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Mahler N°5, Carmen and this one. Please, for the people who are following these two and who love them, stop saying that this is unfair. What would you say if we said the same for P/C? V/M have won with the same scores all this year, on every different competition, it is constant. They are better than before, they have a lot of experience, and P/C fans (of which I am too) will see that in a few years, P/C will have improved, and they will understand why they didn't win this year. I couldn't understand before this year why V/M lost against D/W in 2014, but i see this year that they have technically improve, and now I understand that their level was not enough before. I don't doubt that next year, it will be a great competition between these two couples. It's happy that P/C and V/M have rivals of their level, it makes the level of ice skating better. And again, I think that P/C's program was wonderful too.

[@JennayaLopez]

I am also french and also prefer them so glad I am not the only one ! And I agree on so many points

Hi, yeah, sorry if I offended you there. As you can see by my calling this a "pair skating", you could probably guess I'm kinda just really new to this whole figure skating thing. This was my first video of an ice dancing pair and I guess I may or may not have gotten too excited or something because of the music or just the program in general. I can't really distinguish the "good" from the "bad" yet but I'm tryna get there, rest assured-- and yes, there may have been a fall but at least Moir got up as quick as he did to continue the program. Thanks for at least pointing out the flaws to me though !

Легкая непринужденность в исполнении сложнейших элементов и безграничная чувственность музыки в языке тела непревзойденна. Этому нельзя научить. Это от Бога. Их божественное катание будет эталоном на века. Все у них не просто так. Даже цвета и крой костюмов и выбранная музыка имеет свой подтекст как новое начинание но и продолжение ранее незабытого. Они гении своего дела и творцы истинного наслаждения. Хотелось бы чтобы к ним сторицей вернулось столько счастья сколько они щедро подарили миллионам людей всего мира. Это шедевр. Браво им.

This free dance is so symbolic, it basically shows what their 2014 FD could have been, the feeling is vaguely similar and the theme is all about finding each other after not being satisfied with their lives.
