Drobiazko and Vanagas free dance on European championship

[baseballfan99]

I was there live in Lyon for this.

[AleAleAlejandro1]

I rarely watch ice dancing but this pair, this program leaves me breathless. For me they are the best!

[muscleboi4use]

WOW... wasn't that something!! So much passion, connection with each other, and with the audience... and I get that just watching a You Tube clip, just would LOVE to have seen them live and for real... terrific!!

[pablobix1]

Sometimes beeing loved by people is much more that gold! Audiance reaction says it all

[Marta28083]

Rita and Povilas, you are my 2006 European champions, my 2002 world champions, my 2001 world champions...

[Haley452]

@Marta28083 how about 2006 World champions and 2002 Olympic medalists? ;) that's what they are in my heart as well ;) I love them to pieces, just show me another team with this kind of emotion - impossible! I think 50 years from now, I will still be coming back to this dance and it will still be taking my breath away.

[Marta28083]

@Haley452 Drobiazko and Vanagas are one of the top teams of all time! Lovely performance! I always love them!

[yalda96]

this is the movie version of the songs right by emmy rossum and gerard butler?Any way it sounds like it i like the movie songs better beautiful skating great wardrobe and great choice of music!

[imaiyana]

Brilliant!!! Best performance ever!!!

[kiesha86]

i think all the small nations should be banned from ice skating so just the big nations like russia and usa could compete with each other.

[jurte]

lol.

[Anonnynonny]

HAHAHAHA! (and a huge sigh and a little weep)

On my bad days I just cannot stand to watch this team because I start crying. The hurt and the anger and the frustration all return afresh. Imagine how they felt. I can't. And then there are these good days when I just say ___ it, let's just enjoy their beauty, majesty, and magnificence.

I hope D & V know how we the fans feel.

Even after all these years!!!!!!!!!!

We know the truth. And they know great skating!

Briliant.

[LadySioma]

@kiesha86

LoL

[moniukasz]

@kiesha86 fuck u talkin bout 

[vilma9002]

@kiesha86

wtf?

[Anonnynonny]

Drobiazko & Vanagas ... The ice dance teams today should watch them and learn. They stand very tall in my list of the best of the best. Breathtaking indeed. They will remain in my heart forever.

[luvsasha66]

They are really amazing skaters. Fantastic skate here <3

And as much as I <3 Meryl/Charlie, this program to POTO is way better

[dandownunder19]

I rarely find ice dancing breathtaking but that performance was breathtaking! I was totally swept along with their journey. Bravo, bravo..........

[BatukasLT]

just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Haley452]

It never gets old, THEY never get old. Miss the kind of magic they created on the ice, today's teams may be faster, may have better lifts or twizzles, but they don't have that kind of charisma and power to melt your heart. I will always love them. Remembering Lyon.

[journalistgirl07]

I love the way the GB Eurosport figure skating commentators show their feelings during the competitions! Here it is certain that both Chris and Nicky were moved by the fantastic comeback of Rita and Povilas! These two dancers made Lithuania proud. Thanks Nicky and Chris, thanks Rita and Povilas!

[anasus2]

"The emotion of that performance was second to none this evening." I love the British commentators.

This is the most beautiful free dance, which made me fall in love with figure skating. They should have won the gold, IMO.

[aynatn]

Is that Gwendal Peizerat interviewing the Russian??? Wow. I miss A & P!

[zgdzgd2]

gold medal for this one

[loverly18]

They make an excellent Phantom and Christine. A delightful performance; wish their marks could have been a little higher though. They're golden in my eyes.

[PapereSulGhiaccio]

judges were ALWAYS Navka and Kostomarov's best friends :-(

[Marta28083]

@PapereSulGhiaccio

I agree with you! If Drobiako and Vanagas compete for Russia- oh- I`m sure the result will be- 2 times Olympic champions!

[airi86ja]

amazing.

they really deserve gold medal.. wishes to lithuanians!

[lunaverna]

Vanagas is a really nice Phantom :P

[lenassecret]

Agree =0)

[kulgrinda]

dear akkto, I think I know what your nationality is :D

[akkto]

If you make click in my name you will see it, there's no mistery.

[akkto]

LYON PUBLIC IS UNRESPECTFUL AND HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT SKATING.

There will be always people who is not satisfied with the official results, but fortunatly, we have sensible judges who know who were the best. Congatulations Navka and Kostomarov for your gold and to Dobriazko and Vanagas for their deserved BRONZE.

[delirium11]

so beautiful! and as personalities they both are charming :)

[12hermione34]

these ppl are some of the best skaters ever they were gone for like 4 years then they still win a spot on the olympic team

gosh they are amazing

[kiaweking]

She always has such awesome costumes. I think they add grace to the performance.

[tuttizz]

Nuostabu. ;>

[xXSpaceCadetXx]

incredible....this made me cry when i saw it first....so so so beautiful!

[zgdzgd]

you can believe that this amazing dancers cuple never win world championchip ? it's just not right ..

[sanz23]

I totally agree. In people's hearts they won it many times. :) I saw their show in Warsaw last December, they filled the ice with sparkle, while Navka and Kostomarov were soo boring.

[Evelife]

It's because of politic problem. Lithuania is just a small country for some and this amazing couple started their career representing USSR.

[Finnochka]

I'm sure they could have won it many times, if they had represented Russia and not Lithuania.

[Somewhere999]

it's sad.. but real...

[ChachouMiaou]

Well, IMO if they had been Russian, they would have been overrated instead of being constantly underrated. Which means, given their level, that they might have been Olympic champions at least once, and World and European champions at least 4 times lol!

[Finnochka]

That's exactly what I'm talking about.. And it's sad, very sad..

[ChrisVarick]

its better to be 3rd representing your own country

[akil3120]

Margarita is russian actually

[browncoatkevin]

Simply entrancing to watch. They skated with the music, one of my favorite Phantom pieces, and when they were so low down to the ice... just beautiful. It is nice to see that they were able to work so much beauty into their routine with the new scoring rules, and I sure hope other couples can do so as well.

[aangelkaa]

like the commentators said, beautiful skating and beautiful music

[memuysexyfosho]

loved it so awsome great music and artistry so amazing to watch i love em a lot :D

[marijusmit]

i love this video so much:)

[voodoo4936]

Indeed, yet another fantastic couple held down for years. But this was a great free dance to end their career.

[erginakif]

always amazing... judges can suck it.

[memuysexyfosho]

yes they can lik it suk it and iss it .....theydeserved gold not the russians :p

[Finnochka]

Ok, but the russians were the only couple who didnt fell during the programmes.. Unfortunately Margarita and Povilas fell in OD.

[Haley452]

Yeah, but that was at the Olympics. In Lyon, Rita and Povilas did a clean OD as well. And the Phantom deserved to be the winner of the night!
