Thank you! I’m here just to watch Vanessa James and her first French partner, Yannick Bonheur. Nice to the old stuff. And they skated so beautifully. I wonder why they parted ways.

[@troyaturner1979]

Shen & Zhao were always brilliant athletes. Ever since the 2003 Worlds, they became exquisite artists. I always get choked up every time I watch them skate. If they had this type of emotional impact when they were going head-to-head with the Russians and the Canadians, it wouldve been very hard to decide who would win. I absolutely love this pair. Such a joy to see them skate.

[@lizabalinbin5361]

😊

[@williambruno392]

This short program from Shen and Zhao I think will go down in history as one of the most exquisite short programs of all time. They leave me speechless every time I revisit it. Incredible.

[@swedishhousemfia]

I MISS THIS. 2010 was awesome

[@MrPeteykins]

Thank you for posting this and not hiding it under a copyright rock forever.

[@katesmithers2025]

Tatian Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov smashed every performance here. Long live the King and Queen of pairs!

[@laurak3762]

The Estonians didn't have much luck that year in figure skating - the young ice dance pair fell as well..what a shame, because the rest of their program was beautiful, but they got poor marks because of the fall! My heart dropped when she fell, and then the stumble shortly after.

[@areading12]

When the last three/four couples went I nearly started crying because they were so beautiful! Especially the chinese couple with the blue flowing outfits. Although I have to admit, the German's "Send in the clowns" was absolutely amazing! I love watching ice-skating ^_^

[@totalchic347]

The scheduling of who skates first depends on recent competition results. Since Shen/Zhao had just come out of retirement and the Olympics was their first major competition- there was nothing to base their placement off of- so they went first.

[@sgsmozart]

No.... there is a numerical draw for all skaters....they just got an early number.

[@eternalpublic5783]

Shen and Zhao....my god, that was so incredible and moving. So much sweet sorrow, passion and love. I can't decide which I like better, the short or long. Both are truly exquisite.

[@thealicegator]

no commentary, makes it 10 times better!

[@violetstein2871]

I can't believe how the figure skaters can just lift each other up......so cool O.O

[@sunlightangel87]

I'm American and while I loved my team I'm also fan of Vera and Yuri from Russia. I've watched them on KZbin. They're fantastic and they did a great job here.

[@alyssariceYT]

It's crazy to watch Aljona knowing she would win gold 8 years later

[@BettyBoop8073]

such a beautiful sport!!

[@MrBubblygoodness]

the chinese are amazing!!! look at how they are moving!! they are 100% in sync!! i've never seen this in any other pairs before!! they deserve to win!!!

[@KinorLovesRockMusic]

1:44:06 seeing Maxim crying makes me laugh but also sad.. he was so much a kid back then but now he's an olympic champion!!!! :)

[@bcraven1469]

Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhou were soo....touching ;D

[@marigam]

1:09:20 Is it spanking time? Wth?

[@adiksadiatabs]

I just think that the Estonian couple looked so charming :)

[@acuison1]

The French couple in the beginning were awesome. Loved their Tango.

[@user-nf1fl1qg4w]

Where's lady's complete event?

[@henningandersen9027]

Perfect without nerving commentators.

[@gabrielapisano8894]

the Chinese where amazing but I also love the French!

[@KseniaSemenovaFan]

at this point everything was fine for our German team, but not after day 2. still an amazing program. Hope they can make it right this time! Seems like they always get big competition when olympics come. They need to make their peace with olympic games! ^^

[@charizianne]

It's so funny to see the Vancouver public library in an Olympics commercial, LOL

[@wms777]

muito lindo"""!!!!!!! parabens a todos...

[@DorEnErnil]

I love Shen & Zhao sooooooo much. Watching them makes me smile.

[@marceloaugustosoares6814]

Olimpíadas transmitida no Brasil !!! Dar saudades !!!!

[@kayhaven4710]

Love the opening graphics!

[@juliaestrada3868]

I would get soooo dizzy from all those spins :D

[@ThereskaJanee]

I LOVED tha very first Canadian couple, (light green clothes). That left me speechless, you could see their interaction and connection. Ah,,.. that was a great one!

[@maryammohammed6624]

5 minutes, into the video and I'm already clapping.

[@FelixFelisis]

They're skating to my favorite Queen song! Awesome!

[@charizianne]

@MrBubblygoodness not quite, notice how at around 0:05:30 to 0:05:42 when they are doing side-by-side spins they were not quite in sync with one another. At first glance they might appear in sync because they move quite fast, but if you notice carefully, they are not in sync with one another.

[@seven-supergirls7345]

It's weird to see my auntie Stacey skating at 1hour and 20

[@grandcanyon5984]

Any full video for ladies event available?

[@d-bascano6601]

Shen & Zhao CHN . . fab costumes.

[@d-bascano6601]

Ilja EST . . a great ice partner.

[@JP852]

@ckMC13410 There is no maximum score - there are available points for each move, based on difficulty and how well it was executed. The scores for each move are added together and then added to a 'component score' - skating skills, choreography transitions between moves etc. It's not an easy system - but i hope this helps! :)

[@SoCalMan221]

amazing...wow

[@d-bascano6601]

Caydee & Jeremy USA . . cool on the ice.

[@MrBubblygoodness]

@charizianne i know, but they are the MOST in sync pairs i've ever seen!

[@AmazingGrace09256]

My heart hurt fir the ones that fell.

[@gabrielapisano8894]

I love the music for ukr !

[@victoriaandthewolf]

You should find some videos of Gordeeva and Grinkov (eighties, early nineties)- they were really in sync too :D

[@VirtueMoir27]

Thank you. I thought it was something like that, but I didn't follow Pairs at this time so I wasn't sure. :)

[@estonec100]

my love to Estonia

[@kheliad1145]

Came to look for estonia didn't have to wait rly long..

[@Jackiebrook126]

I agree. I thought they should have been ahead of at least one of the Canadian teams. I would have put them 8th in the short program.

[@James-pc1ku]

I could watch Ice Skating all day .... The music and performances are just so relaxing .... Plus the girls all have the most incredible bodies ;-) xXxXx

[@hollycerveny9591]

So true!!! :)

[@Tainteddx3]

i think the france team wasn't half bad.. of course, the chinese totally sweeped everyone out of their way.

[@MaudeAshbee]

what's the song that the first couple is dancing to??? please tell me!

[@JackAShepherd]

Amazing how some teams just click and others do not. Imagine if Maxim had retired after Vancouver and had never teamed up - professionally or personally - with Tatiana... Apparently his relationship with Maria was miserable, and it showed on the ice, and commentators mentioned it often.

[@acuison1]

The first Russian couple - girl in pink - were very good. They just have to work on their synchronization and timing and they should be great. They're pretty on the ice.

[@niclowyx]

Why was there booing after the Switzerland couple's marks? I'm confused!

[@Carmen1995ful]

The crowd thought they deserved a better score

[@VirtueMoir27]

I have a question. :) Why did Shen/Zhao skate first if they're so good? Did they not compete at a certain competition or something?

[@kayhaven4710]

The American's were a little rough around the edges, but still had a good performance towards the end.

[@musica623]

USA team rocked that Firebird number!

[@lingyi2201]

The french were amazing

[@nikavance9453]

They were nice to watch, but they had a lot of mistakes. Funnily enough, almost all of judges decided that their double salchows were executed on 0, one said that on -1 and one - on -3. Why the hell -3? Did they fall in his eyes?

[@11jumana]

Did anyone know the name of the music in 1:23:53 ? Please answer me 😞

[@klaudiacienka4888]

what is name of the song in 25 minute ? :)

[@netartemisa]

@tamakiharuhi007 Who Wants to Live Forever, instrumental version, of course.

[@d-bascano6601]

Pretty on you Maria & Maxim RUS.

[@blfjlb1999]

The flames

[@charizianne]

is THAT brown building the Vancouver public library at the beginning??? I've been there a few times, LOL

[@MsIndiansrule]

what song when poland comes on?

[@TiffyBeSoRandom]

what was the third pairs song that they were dancing to it sounds so familiar at 7:45

[@fizzypop1999ap]

por una cabeza

[@user-nf1fl1qg4w]

why there is not lady's complete event? why?

[@wendzgray95]

Maria!! Omg I worked with her In 2012 hahaha

[@xDARKxANGELxFaZEx]

The Chinese did GREAT ! Muahh, gotta love them. They train the hardest, work the hardest, and bring the best!

[@Lariov]

@PringlesLover123 why?

[@belladonna137]

Jessica Dube and Bryce Davidson @ 2:02:50

[@biggestgymfan7230]

Who else is watching this in quarantine

[@kassidychica1268]

Ouch I felt bad for the ones that kept wiping out.

[@PringlesLover123]

@Lariov The Russians had a 46 year streak of getting the Olympic gold in pairs. If anything, it's about time another style of skating (as in not Russian) was rewarded.

[@reynadupre2577]

I miss commentary....

[@userqwr924]

who wants to live forever

[@doradorajung]

ALSOME!!!!!ALSOME!!!!!!

[@OpinionatedLove]

I guess being partners not only inside the ring but outside as well helps with the synchronisation for the Chinese, perfect

[@mariemagdalenehimes7618]

Wow, I really miss hearing commentary alongside the competition.

[@juliarolles9514]

canada & chiina

[@katherinebenda6239]

wow the chinese pair was in perfect sync , that was awesome !

[@TiffyBeSoRandom]

I meant 16:45

[@number8tyeight]

switzerland!!!!

[@kheliad1145]

They should have taken the other pair they would have made no mistakes

[@celuchiha]

@klaudia C. Firebird by Igor Stravinsky

[@Lariov]

@kayerchen why racist? i said they are perfect, i don't have any kind of problem with them, but i like to see other kind of skating style in the gold medal (like russian). That's no reason for telling me racist ¬¬

[@nikavance9453]

ThereskaJanee, do you mean Annabelle Langlois and Cody Hay? You feel well, as they are married since 2012. :D

[@kotokochan6835]

52:10 beautiful man

[@l.m.518]

That was perfect now the score they were perfect no w let’s see the score .

[@chicobernardo86]

Qing pang and tong jian are legends, Myths. greatest couple ever...shen and zhao also rock, but I dont know, artistically I prefer Tong and Pang. Especially Tong, as far as male pairs skaters go, he´s the best, most artistic one there ever was

[@sixiscool4649]

You are correct.

[@duamutefsasaliyang]

my love to China

[@doradorajung]

The girl the one that makes the mistake

[@gimelinc]

연아 이야기

[@l.m.518]

Vanessa and bonhuer was perfect., they should have been in first or second place‘what is wrong with the judges.that should have been a perfect score.

[@Anastasia14094]

Всё равно Россия лучшая!))

[@l.m.518]

Vanessa James is beautiful ,she looks beautiful in that red outfit . That was perfect"

[@Bloomy101]

Wow dem Chinese....surreal

[@black2butterfly2]
