Ice Dance Figure Skating Full Event - Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

[@KdaSil5]

Tessa and Scott's Spanish Flamenco is amazing! Definitely my favourite and in my opinion the best. Go Canada Go!

[@starsmoon0216]

Wasn't very original though. Its been done countless times...

[@alinetheodoro6679]

ok, but their technique were amazing, don't be a hater just cause you like meryl and charlie, tessa and scott deserved it as meryl and charlie deserved in 2014. I love tessa and scott, they are the best for me, but i can admit that in Sochi Meryl and Charlie were better. It's ok.

[@starsmoon0216]

Aline Theodoro I never said that Tessa and Scott didn't have good technique, but I'll stand by my comment about the originality of the Flamenco dance. It has been done over and over for many years while Bollywood was new and fresh. I was referring to the OD, not the entire competition. I'm not hating on T/S. They deserved to win gold in Vancouver just as Meryl and Charlie deserved gold in Sochi.

[@alinetheodoro6679]

+starsmoon0216 yes, I agree about Sochi too 🤗

[@TheCrystal0817]

maybe its just me but the first dance absolutely took my breath away!!!! the dance was beautiful and the costumes were certainly unique (i wouldve gotten rid of those arm things on the woman though, they obscure her arm movements too much imo!!)

[@psychstudentrip]

TheCrystal0817 I feel you

[@lucia5227]

the hungary one was AMAZING

[@aly8950]

Tessa and Scott absolutely bodied their dance

[@thebigl156]

I struggled with this one for years thinking Virtue and Moir beat out Davis and White simply by home advantage bias, but I concede I was wrong. When the program aired in the U.S., it was shown from different camera angles and it's clear from the the single distance shot her that Virtue and Moir gave the more complicated and best dance.

[@kathyteso9331]

That takes a big person to admit that.

[@sschimel]

I didn't remember Evan Bates skating with anyone before Madison Chock.

[@e.i.3077]

In spite of the cultural appropriation controversies, I really enjoyed this segment. We got to see many people who got to share their culture in an international stage, many of whom are virtually unknown to the world. This is by far the most diverse segment in all of figure skating and it's a shame it got tarnished because of a few people who were unable to recognise their own limits.

[@ilseilse3824]

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir at 2:23:40 :D AMAZING

[@scook5599]

Sometimes I think that I enjoy the couples who are lower in the standings more than the leaders. Because they are not in medal contention, they are usually able to put more joy and energy into their performance. They probably enjoy their Olympic experience more too.

[@troyaturner1979]

Meryl and Charlie's OD is masterpiece and was the best OD of the night, hands down. It was inspired and creative as all hell.

[@starsmoon0216]

+Troy Turner Meryl and Charlie hands down are the most original. No one came close.

[@troyaturner1979]

starsmoon0216 I completely agree. It was authentic and executed well.

[@jodij6280]

I love that they put their whole heart into it. Including Meryl buying the material to make sure her costume is authentic.

[@carmenridiche7984]

I agree with you , Troy

[@carmenridiche7984]

and, of course , with the other who consider Merryl and Charlies's OD the best

[@TooOldForThis]

@@agustinquipildor which couple are you talking about?

[@TooOldForThis]

Which one?

[@gk891]

D/W's OD was fantastic no doubt but compared to V/M they don't skate as closely together, their edges are a shorter and choppier, their handholds aren't as soft and fluid, and they don't pay as close attention to their free legs (although they've improved upon that in recent years). And I thought V/M's choreography was more demanding and challenging. Yes the flamenco has done many times before but the judges have to rewards superior skating which they did.

[@nipaipo36100]

i disagree and i had the americans in front after this original dance

[@gk891]

@@nipaipo36100 For what reasons?

[@RememberICant]

Yvengi Platov is an amazing athlete and coach!

[@roycemints]

I agree that Davis and White's OD was great, but Virtue and Moir's OD was more intricate and difficult. They had closer hand holds which Davis and White have a hard time doing. The points for V/M's OD was from the difficulty of it.

[@DorEnErnil]

I have to say that in the OD, Virtue and Moir outskated Davis and White. That seems pretty clear. I love both of them and they're both great, but the judges did well here.

[@nipaipo36100]

totaly disagree

[@MrChaseBlue]

DorEnErnil I remembered clearly in the gpf that I was entranced by their Bollywood program and from memory, I believed they skated better than v/m there. However, here i agree that it’s clear V/M out skated the field in the OD (and FD) even with my biases love for the novelty of Davis/White’s program considered. D/W also look a little more nervous too throughout the competition.

I think Meryl and Charlie's OD was much more original and flawless as well. They should have won the OD.

[@dannistyle6399]

+starsmoon0216 yep I agree. Meryl & Charlie's Bollywood was much more original than Tessa & Scott's OD. Its really a masterpiece and so difficult. I liked Tessa & Scott' Flamenco dance but not as good as Meryl & Charlie's.

[@va_lee_ree]

@@dannistyle6399 I think that M/C idea was more original but S/T where flamenco was flawless and more fluid.

[@mlc2005]

I would have placed Virtue/Moir first overall for the Olympic gold, but for me, the winner of the Original dance was Davis/White. I just felt it was MUCH more original than the flamenco, which has been done countless times. These two teams are so even in talent it's almost impossible to judge, but the Canadians earned the gold for sure.

Coombs and Buckland got screwed. They were better than a LOT of the others that went before them.

[@MrChaseBlue]

Jodi J they didn’t have the skating skills compared to a bunch before them even if their program was more fun. However, Riverdance is one the most accessible and easiest pieces to get into, so its more the program choice than what they’re really doing on the ice to get that level of praise.

IRELAND IS DOING REEL AROUND THE SUN

[@ujfalusik1]

surely řessa and scott were the best, but the kerrs syblings from UK were great too and definietely the hungarian couple with czardash dance. Ukrainians zadoroshniuk and verbillo were also my favorite. also french natalie pechalat and fabio bourzat were far more better than the russians performing australian aboriginal dance- but i respect that they choose that dance so different from their coulture, but there was definitely a strong deficit of difficult figures. The americans with country dance did not impress me at all.

[@Kiltdon]

John Kerr put his foot down on the second twizzle. Big mistake. But they are enjoyable.

[@scoutz0rs]

I'd like to see an "Irish dance" routine (outside of actual Irish dance, that is) NOT be completely inspired by Riverdance or Lord of the Dance. There's other Irish music and costumes could be solo dresses like those worn in competition. And you could do something like a 2-hand reel. It'd be great.

[@Curiousever]

scoutz0rs do you think penny coombs and partner were a bit underscored?

[@FiveRiversCity]

I felt so sorry for Penny and Nick. It was a lovely programme but not without flaws. In my opinion the scoring was rather harsh, but I think Penny's spin over Nick's shoulders may have been classed as an illegal move in ice dancing hence the low score.

[@scoutz0rs]

@@Curiousever I think they were always underscored tbh. Not that they weren't vulnerable technically, but they would always get nailed more on the PCS than I think was fair.

[@rowwdycolt654]

In ice dancing/skating, the relationship takes no precedence. It is a matter of fulfilling the program requirements, artistic requirements and overall performance. Choreographers have a lot to do with program.

[@giana9261]

Also look closer- no intimate context or energy at all-

[@claireboyle7151]

What is a compulsory dance?

[@alfredmeneses5496]

it's a set dance pattern based on steps and characteristics of ballroom dances that the skaters have to perform. every skater will skate the same pattern and follow the same steps and leg extensions and direction on the ice. it's a way for the judges to actually see and compare the teams and see who has good clean edges and can skate controlled across the rink.

the British were so under evaluated

[@MrChaseBlue]

They didn’t have the skating skills at all at the time. The only reason that they had that crowd reaction to the scores was that they lucked out in skating in group three after a plethora of stronger skaters had gone before them

[@val7149]

porque nao tem o completo feminino?

[@richardmurray4042]

Looking at this now, Charlie looks very tight in this, at least up until the twizzles where they both finally let go. His opening moves look very tentative and he doesn't really stretch. He's very good at performing for the judges but sometimes forgets he has a partner on the ice. Scott and Tessa never did this dance as well all year. Saved it for the Olympics.

It’s because of their skating skills and Russian politics that got them on the podium. Imo, the offensiveness of this od and then coupled with the scratchiness of their fd should’ve kept them off the podium imho
