I remember this they were so good my step mom took me to see this
-
they make the cutiest couple ever :)
-
I'm in tears, seriously. I haven't seen such amazing perfection since Marina Anissina and Gewndal Peizerat. Mahler would be in tears too, I mean, c'mon, who's jaw won't drop after seeing that kind of beauty??
-
they are my favorite hands down their grace and poise just come alive when they skate making so beautiful to watch. love em.
-
@parahycodan totally understand. they let their costumes be exactly what they should be - supporting pieces of material. they enhance, not distract. hopefully they'll set a new trend that moves ice dancing away from all the past cheese.
-
@ImNotThere100 Yes, and it was a brilliant OD because their costumes didn't get in the way of the music. (Does anyone remember what music the Russians skated to in their OD?) V&M did their flamenco interpretation beautifully. Technically, though, I think Davis and White were just a notch better in their OD this past season. Both are great dances. I don't think I made my point very well before.

@LWOPP lol they did a flamenco for their original dance in 09-10. you should check it out though. classy and beastly.
-
They weren't allowed to that exit - it was beautiful, I agree - because the judges said it was illegal.
Oddly enough, the judges did not ban the dismount they did at the Olympics, which looks easier but is quite dangerous, with Tessa tipping over Scott's shoulder into his arms. That is dangerous because her landing into his arms is blind. I liked both, but I'm with you - it was really great, especially when she landed on one foot.

The passion on their faces... The way they finish their lifts... Their finish... It all just gives me goosebumps.

Having been a devoted follower of skating for over 40 years, whether or not this FD wins gold Medal in Vancouver, it may well be remembered years from now as being almost in a class with "Bolero." V&M have taken ice dance back to its roots. I can't see them in martial uniforms, bullfighter and flamenco or weird space cadet costumes. And, she is incapable of doing a lift that isn't totally elegant. They are a treasure and so young I hope they will be enthralling us for years to come.
