Fawkes Pryde I think V&M should-a won the SD but that D&W should-a won the FD + overall. V&M’s SD was one of my favorites ever. This FD of D&W’s is absolutely magnificent and, IMO, blew “The Seasons” outta the water... “The Seasons” felt derivative of their Mahler. At the height of their rivalry you really couldn’t split these two teams. Hats off to V&M for coming back and basically reinventing themselves to becoming the winningest, most versatile ice dancers of all-time. In just two seasons they gave us Prince, The Eagles, and Roxanne.
@JackAShepherd5 жыл бұрын
RichCoffey Can’t recall any flaws in D&W’s SD but V&M’s perfect performance was criminally underscored by comparison... Just like their FDs at Worlds 2011 and 2013. The judges really preferred D&W... I could understand them being ahead by a razor’s edge but they’d win everything by a mile, which was absurd. Got the impression Marina threw all her focus into them after Vancouver, establishing them as the next Olympic champs so she’d have two Golds from two different teams/countries. Glad they left her when they returned to competition.

i have watched this video umpteen million times and what strikes me is how different it is than last years'. in notre dame charlie would really throw meryl around in the turn transitions - if that makes sense. really fling her arm and her. this dance had none of that. in phantom also, he was much more agressive. that has been toned down for this dance. i couldn't quite put my finger on it until watching again this morning. the passion and drama i rather miss. when watching their exhibition pieces i really miss the drama! their dances are almost like V&M. and a little boring. i think if i was to pay to see them dance i would be disappointed if all they did were dances to moonlight sonata or fade into you.

Bravo to the most exciting ice-dance team in the world! I've been watching them since 2008, and it's been interesting to watch them 'mature' in the performance/sophistication aspect of their skating; undefeated internationally during the past 2 yrs (so, the 2014 Olympics is no 'fluke'); I've listened to commentators from British Eurosport, Italian TV et al., and they all raved. 2 World Championships, 5 Grand Prix Final Gold Medals, innumerable NHK, 4CC, etc. championships, 6 US Nat'l titles; their artistry kept getting better and better, as did the consistency of their skating since c. 2011. The male commentator here was one of the men who raved at their 2013 NHK performance (he used same phrases); woman who sounded bored only was on air for 2013 SA. And D/W always showed respect, never complained if they were underscored or missed out on a podium; famously, Meryl hushing audience boos for too low scores at 2009 WCs (which Brit. Euro. called 'the dance of the evening!'). A lot of people only "discovered" D/W at the Olympics, but they have done so many memorable programs (including "Polovetsian Dances", "Lennon", "Samson & Delilah" (!!), "Die Fledermaus", "Tangos", "Notre Dame de Paris", and now "Scheherezade"). I think they just matured later than V/M and kept getting better and better.

There's no one like these 2 on the world stage right now. Meryl and Charlie are 1 of a kind. I've been watching them for a long time and they are the epitome of grace, beauty, strength, power, and passion. I love Tessa and Scott but Meryl and Charlie are hands down my very favorite. We here in the USA need to keep figure skating a priority. So if you have a chance to see Meryl and Charlie and other figure skaters, go so them and support them. You won't regret it.

I hope they create a DVD collection of their FDs, SDs, and exhibition programs. Sounds like a huge task but I hope they consider it.

What an incredible and moving performance filled with purity. Meryl is a star, her movements are delicate, considerate yet strong. This was the most memorable performance for me in Sochi. I love to come back and watch it every now and again.

Jodi J i was replying to your last message and lost it. i never know how to find old messages...anyway, totally agree with you about V&M overly touchy/feely program. AND you're right too about this being all about technique. there was this little "thing" that was missing you saw in samson and delilah and notre dame in this skate. i thought the program for notre dame was perfect. absolutely perfect. the lift, magnificent. the upside down perpendicular here just doesn't to it for me. i gotta stop watching ice dancing at 11 p.m. - i never get to bed.

Lara Hartley This isn't my favorite program but it grew on me. Especially at 2:30 where they embrace (sort of). I actually yelled "Yes!" when I first saw it at Nationals(?). lol! I love their chemistry with S&D and Notre Dame but, like I said, this (for me) was a technical program. I'm sure they wanted to get the curved and perpendicular lifts just right. I enjoyed the entire program, just not on an emotional level. That's what S&D (my favorite) is for. :)

@jodij62809 жыл бұрын
I'm sure they didn't do that on ice until he was sure he wouldn't smash her face into the mat. Although, I've always wondered 'what would happen if their hands missed by just a millimeter?' lol!

Every time I watch this video, I can't help but notice all those who are not applauding for this phenomenal skate and team. So different from the audience in Boston at World's in 2016.
@danceskatecheer52198 жыл бұрын
The Sochi audience was rude to many of the skaters. If they weren't Russian, most didn't applaud. They didn't applaud for Tessa & Scott either. But for the rest of the Sochi audience, Meryl & Charlie got a standing ovation from many people. Their performance was beyond spectacular. The American audience in Boston at the Worlds was supportive of EVERY country that skated. Just goes to show the mentality of people and especially the mentality of stupid people commenting on this page.

Ice Dance is about athleticism and chemistry and romance. It would be weird for the Shibutanis’s to give us chemistry and romance. There have been other brother and sister teams that got as far as bronze.
