[@umayae7359]

I'm Asian and I knew literally nothing about ice dance until last month when I discovered Virtue/Moir 2018 Olympic free dance. This guided me to discover other routines they did and now I'm officially obsessed. I know that so many fans of V/M are a little disappointed that they don't share a romantic relationship in real life, and in fact married to other people and are parents (There's a rumor that Tessa is pregnant) I'm here to say that what they have is one of the most beautiful relationships which many people don't get to experience in this world. There's no romance, there's no lust in their relationship but what they do have is a very deep platonic love for each other. This form of love is the closest form of love to what I believe is true love (As true love is often unattainable because it's selfless) because there are no conditions, no standards, no lust involved. Their love for each other is purely unconditional and driven by their urge to mutually encourage each other to do better emotionally, physically, socially and maybe spiritually throughout their journey. Ice dance itself is a sport that involves two people who can collaborate or blend with each other to create a beautiful work of art. They once stated that they believe that they are an extension of each other when they dance. They danced together for 22 years. I repeat. 22 years!! The level of understanding, empathy and patience they had practiced for each other must be so immense because it's not easy to collaborate for with a person who has an entirely different personality of his/her own for 22 years! I think one of the reasons they hug before every routine (Oh, those hugs are just so profoundly beautiful in a way that it pulls all your heart strings!) is to assure each other that they are going to perform well and also to ease each other's anxiousness. Those long hugs help them to keep their heartbeat at the same pace and slow it down (This is a researched fact) so that both of them contribute to the program to their best. This is sooooooo beautiful!! I really want to experience a relationship like this. Believe me when I say this, they are literally soul mates, and they don't have to be romantic partners to be so because what they have is purer and deeper than that. The love they have for their life partners must be wonderful but, when Tessa and Scott are on the ice, it just transcends every other relationship they have. Isn't that just so beautiful? I guess that's what I want in a relationship, that kinda love.

[@dramaqueen0019]

To those you don't know: this wasn't the original routine of Moulin Rouge in the 2017-2018 season. After many defeats by Papadakis/Cizeron in the Grand Prix competition, they re-choreographed the whole routine during the Christmas holidays, made it more dramatic, more exciting, and much more difficult than the prevous choreography. They debuted this brand new routine in the 2018 Canadian championship, which was only one month before the Olympics. This was really a leap of faith. I still remember the goosebumps I had when I first saw the beautiful routine at the Canadian Championship and in the Olympics, of course. Almost 5 years later, this is still one of the most beautiful performances in the Olympics history, and the determination behind this final routine is still as inspiring 👏

[@rosanishina5097]

Since their return to the ice in 2016 Virtue and Moir have systematically won Papadakis and Cizeron including at the 2017 worlds. During the 2017 season Papadakis and Cizeron obtained higher scores in competitions in which Virtue and Moir didn'tt participate, which is why they modified their program by adding difficulties and the incredible final lift. Papadakis and Cizeron defeated Virtue and Moir at the 2017 GPF, presumably because Tessa and Scott's performance wasn't as stellar as usual. Finally, what made the difference for the Olympics was the mental, physical and material preparation. on all these points the Canadians were outstanding competitors.

They maintain that their relationship is very hard to define, but that they are not a couple and if they were they would have announced it when they were on Ellen. And I kind of believe them when they say that, but it's also obvious that they love each other and not just in the way that friends do. I think they put that love aside *off* the ice to be able to portray feelings like passion and jealousy the way they do *on* the ice. So I'm hoping they'll start dating after they have officially retired (could be in July, I think). Or maybe they are already dating and deny it when asked by reporters as to don't take the focus away from the beautiful perfomances they've worked so hard for. It's really hard to say with these two:D

Hello to the newbies, if you were wondering who Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are, here's a quick list of all their achievements. -The most decorated figure skaters of Olympic history (2010: 🥇, 2014:🥈🥈,2018:🥇🥇); - The youngest ever ice dance Olympic champions(20 and 22); -The first and only ice dancers to win gold at their first Olympics (Vancouver 2010); -the only ice dancers to win gold at the Olympics on home ice; -They are the first (and only) to complete a super career golden grand slam in both juniors and seniors (Worlds, Grand Prix Final, Four Continent and the Olympics). They are the goats of ice dance, probably the most versatile team, as showcased by all of their seniors' performances. And saying they are inspired by two characters from a Netflix show is a disservice to their achievements. Hopefully, you fall for them like we did and keep on watching all of their performances.

stan smith what's the difference between ice dance and figure skating

[@earl77]

Figure skating has more jumps, lifts and spins, ice dance is more like ballroom dancing on ice.

+Sassy Medea FIGURE SKATING has four disciplines: women's, men's, pairs and ice dance. the video here shows ice dance. when you see two skaters doing jumps, throws and really high overhead lifts, then it's what you call pairsskating. women's and men's feature solo skaters who feature jumps in their programs. ice dance feature more dancing on ice. multiple rotation jumps, throws and overhead lifts are illegal/banned in ice dancing. really good ice dancers such as v/m will feature more choreography that actually resemble something you'd see on the dance floor, particularly with short dances

yes and the skating skills too. If you're really confused about ice dancing and pair figure skating, two moves that really differentiate between both of this disciplines are the twizzles and death spirals (like the obvious ones). In ice dancing, there will be twizzle (the one that you see they rotate on one feet across the ice rink together). In pair figure skating, death spiral is when the pair is pivoted to one place and holding his partner while rotating her in a circle. This element can only be seen in pair figure skating. Try watching savchenko and massot's routine on youtube. You will see the differences. Even for someone who is not familiar with figure skating, it's not difficult for them to notice this.
