Something magical about the way they skate together. I'm afraid there will never be another team like them

[@jeanettefarrell4486]

I totally Agree

[@roxys6793]

They have good chemistry together, definitely. I love them, they surprise me.

[@jeanettefarrell4486]

Totally agree!

[@teresayates6016]

I feel exactly the same. They are brilliant skaters, of course, but they also have that something that just can't be taught.

[@jeanettefarrell4486]

So in sync with each other, with the music, with the words. So smoothly move through each move. Just absolutely beautiful.

[@CBCSports]

Glad you think so!

[@garotadagavea]

@@CBCSportsc'mon CBC, be nice: upload the latter years figure skating competitions with the commentary.

[@nikkia4950]

watching this feels like a breath of fresh air

[@Buckyroid]

You can see how much they've improved but this program stands the test of time! I love the outfits, the music, and the lifts here.

[@stargirliexoxo]

By far one of their best programs! I'm sad they're retiring, but they will always be the GOAT.

[@haira-hcomsomderobg4773]

First Katia Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov, and then Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. They are the best ones I've seen until now

[@thewaitisogre]

watching this because i love crying

[@DonnaAcker]

They are my all time favorite ice dancers. Their moves are so fluid from each transition and their artistry is beautiful. I miss them so much!!!❤

[@sezen1h]

Poetry in motion! Just breathtakingly beautiful!

[@nutriavega8572]

Iconic!! This program is a golden piece of the ice dance history!!

[@eqvnqb7746]

Scott Moir is so sturdy yet so limber at the same time. His body is literally insane. What a God-given talent. I believe that he has the best skating skills of all time (including all 4 disciplines).

[@franciscaassuncao2816]

Tessa and Scott you will be missed for years and years and years... Not a chance in the world that we will ever get to see anything closer to such talent, passion, connection, love and work... They were so young yet the magic that surpassed throughout the entire programe is as old as the world exists... so raw and pure, so precious and perfect and and and.....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You will always be in my heart and soul😍 ❤️🇵🇹

[@jeanettefarrell4486]

They are so awesome. Not just talent but you feel the music in them. They feel the music. They are just do amazing!!!

[@CBCSports]

You've got that right!

[@lacrhisc]

4:05 absolute chills. I love the lift into an arabesque. So beautiful

[@biyuwu8894]

Yeah it was what they did their whole career. Bringing back to ice dance the dance part and weaving elements into the program and making them look as intrinsically part of it one wouldn’t think they were required.

[@ЛюбовьШестак-ж1э]

Точнее и не скажешь. Это истина.

[@hayleyh.8852]

Oh my god finally can watch a clear version of umbrellas! Breathtaking😍

[@MaryAnderson-x9j]

My favourite piece of music. Their interpretation brought me to tears

[@AlisonLam]

This is a masterpiece!!! It always gives me shivers up my spine. Effortless softness and lilting movements. Exquisite

[@АлексейВозьмилов-у6г]

Это просто шедевр. И классика танцев на льду уже 21 века. Тессе 18,а Скотту 20. Елена Чайковская была восхищении от этого исполнения. И напомнила,что через два года Игры в Ванкувере. Зуева и Шпильбанд в тандеме создавали шедевры. А музыка Мишеля Леграна из этого фильма вошла в сокровищницу вечной музыки 20 века. И учитесь молодые фигуристы у трехкратных олимпийских чемпионов( 2010,2018 и золото 2018 г в команде). И удачи Скотту как тренеру. Счастья Тессе. Спасибо,что двигали танцы вперед.

[@ashleyf1318]

HD Umbrellas!! Thank you so much for posting this! Congratulations to Tessa and Scott on their retirement! After an incredible 22-year career together, I hope this next chapter brings them as much satisfaction and joy as their athletic careers

[@mhnoni]

I never watch Ice Skating, stumbled upon a Twitter few-second video showing these two, and I had to check them, and all I can say here, this is perfection. it's like they are tweens, they read each other minds, this is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. I wish they were actors, I would've watched all of their movies.

[@earlenepeterson8065]

They amaze me every time

[@rbishop95]

Finally an HD version. Thank you!!

[@MC-do4dw]

Scott’s favourite program 💜

[@stephanierichards1096]

this is also on you tube with British commentary, the commentators were blown away by this routine

[@hedelisatuzon3221]

Thanks for uploading this beautiful video. It happened a long time ago but it seems that it happens a while ago. Up to this time I'm still mesmerized by their performance. No one can beat them the way they glided, swayed and executed difficult and unique steps. When they performed their facial expression radiates love and adoration for each other. I'm just sad now that they are already retired and drifting apart from each other. Before I dreamed that the two of them will end as a real couple but sad to say that not all dream comes into a reality and I have to accept it as a fan. I don't know if they really love each other or just acting for the sake of their performance. Now that they are already retired I wish them true happiness and more success in their new chapter of their lives. Watching your video makes me happy. Fr. the Philippines.

Нам всем надо благодарить Ваших родителей за то что Вы есть за то что приняли решение и отдали Вас заниматься фигурным катанием, тех тренеров, которые разглядели Вас и поставили в пару и Вас самих за Ваш титанический и упорный труд, за силу воли, за стремление научиться и стать лучшими, за Ваш божественный дар к любимому занятию, за артистизм, за Вашу необъятную душу в творчестве, за любящие сердца и за то, что Вы все это свое искусство подарили нам, живущим и многим следующим поколениям которые будут на Вас равняться и стремится достичь тех высот, которые Вы покорили, а это не просто пьедесталы, а беззаветная мировая любовь вечных поклонников и фанатов, которым Вы подарили неизмеримо счастья радости и наслаждения. Вы стали живой легендой, эталоном настоящего прекраснейшего танца на льду, превознося его и утверждая через все свое ледовое путешествие. Вы созданы были друг для друга и как две половинки на льду составляли одно неповторимое целое, дополняя друг друга. У вас действительно есть что то, чему невозможно научить или дать, что то свое, неуловимое притягивающее завораживающее. От вас невозможно оторваться. Такими Вы были есть и всегда будете для нас как бы там ни было. Мы любим Вас. 2023.

Tessa and Scott from 2008 would not stand a chance against Tessa and Scott from 2018

[@zilam98]

their 2018 olympic programs of theirs are my most fav from them for all time. my most fav from any icedance team ever

[@garotadagavea]

This was appropriate for the people and skaters they were then. Moulin Rouge reflects the adults they evolved into. Two nice book ends.

[@josiepens4480]

I think this is the number that started the fans shipping them as a couple.

[@garotadagavea]

Given Scott's body language (check the final hug when they saw the scores) I'd say they were at that point. I'd bet they were one up to 2010 at least. After that, they probably grew out of the romantic side and as Tessa said, "It is a UNIQUE relationship." Now, as adults, they just wanted different things: Scott wanted a family, back to his town, still skating and coaching. Tessa wanted her individuality (according to Scott, she doesn't even remember life without him), her college degrees, a big city life. They remind me of both Nureyev and Fonteyn and Lennon and McCartney (as Cynthia Lennon put it: "John's and Paul's personalities were like cheese and chalk, so different, but, musically, they were joined at the hip."). Of course, there is still plenty of life to run. People's needs and perspectives change with experience. I have the feeling these two's story is not over yet. We'll see.

[@kalex888]

I forgot that tessa's nose used to look like that

[@misspearltaylor]

Gosh, she was so beautiful before, why change her nose? But, she’s beautiful now, too, and if it made her happy, why not. It could have been a necessary surgery for internal problems and she decided to get cosmetic done at the same time. What’s the story anybody?

[@TheLookylook]

I'm not judging her for doing it, if she feels better like this, but I still don't get why she did it. Her nose was so beautiful and had character. Now it looks more mainstream in my opinion. Not that it matters ofcourse. She is a fantastic skater.
