Virtue & Moir # 23 - Dance Me To The End Of Love

[Shayii]

WTF?! Did you guys see when they showed the guys in towels when they were going to the shower? Lol that was awkward. And I guess they don't have change rooms cuz they showed Scott changing randomly in some corner. Anyways that was a good show, the half that I caught anyways.

ETA: lol Pani we basically posted the same thing.

[IoanaC]

And all guys in towels on there way to the shower

The TV guy commented on that and Cynthia Phaneuf said the girls walk around in their towels too, no problem, "everything is very open".

[rainbowkisses]

aww the link doesnt work anymore did anyone film it? i saw the second half on my tv and it was sf AWESOME

[Shayii]

Really? Mmm, I would be too nervous what if somebody's towel fell. Lol I'm paranoid like that.

I think this was boys joke. And Scott even later in the shower
And Scott didnt have a lot off time, because how i remeber they skated last in the show before closing number.
I think they could show Jeremy and Ashley especially if they showed D-W.

I think this dress work better with CSOI lightning. And Tessa is such a great dancer I think she love skating in show more then competitions. And Scott is more competitor.
And they did there huge even at show

The short interview before Ain't No Mountain was very cute, with Tessa saying how much she likes the side-by-side moves in the program, and Scott's comment that if he messes up that part, he just points at her and people forget about him.

It was great to be able to watch the Radio Canada stream ungeoblocked. I really really hope it's going to work for Canadians too, like last year. It would be so wonderful!

Yes, this was what he was doing in Nice during practice and exibition

I must say i like Canadaina version more then USA, wich i watched on Russian TV. This skaters much younger, fresh. Kurt and Jeffrey simply amazing. Joannie become a great show skater, Shawn - he is just amazing, his numbers look funny and unusual.
And boys number look hotter.

Yes that's who I forgot to comment on, Shawn. His Alegria was amazing and Jeff's number too was nice, very emotional.

Lol that gif. I'm guessing they already knew they were going to skate to Carmen.

Hey guys I found some things. First, the same lady that took those gala pictures I posted took pictures of all the banners that people made for Tessa and Scott in Sochi: http://tessa-and-scott.livejournal.com/300370.html. Just click spoiler (click to open) to see all of them. And then there's this fancam video of their FD from GPF: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SNFYNiHTH8.

Maybe someone know, could i re-watch CSOI on Radio-Canada site?

Thanks for posting this. It's very interesting to watch it from a distance. You can really see how well the program is constructed in terms of ice-coverage and how they don't leave out any portion of the rink. They cover half of it just by doing the twizzles! It's the same feeling you get watching the most beautiful jumps in singles skating, like Patrick's, Carolina's or Yuna's, which travel quite a lot in the air before a smooth landing.

If you hear loud support at this video it was me and my friends. I was sitting on some rows above

You're all great clappers and cheerers. So nice you got to see this dance live again Pani.

And to see work in progress was great
But i still wish they will return to original SS. If judges ddt give them leve 4 for first, why they need to change it.

We don't know what feed-back they have received from judges. Maybe there were parts in the original step sequences that didn't fulfill the requirements for a level 4. On the other hand, not all panels see things the same way... it can be very confusing for skaters and their coaches.

Yes, the problem is in different pannel of judges. At GPF they had Marie Bowns from Canada and assistent of technical specialist from Great Britain so maybe this pannel was loyal to V-M. Russian commentator said D-W after skating get levels 4 for SS in SD and FD, but leves were downgraded. So the difference could be even more - 6-7 points.

I very much doubt the level was downgraded out of "loyalty" for V/M. (It was just one step sequence in the FD, if I remember correctly, right?) The difference between levels 3 and 4 is in the fine details, so they must have spotted something. Tessa and Scott weren't going to win anyway, because of the GOE and PCS difference.

About circular SS in SD and diagonal in FD. Maybe at first Novak did them level 4, but technical specialists asisstents asked re-view.
I know - thius time judges gave marks, wich couldnt be beating with higher levels, the learn last season lesson very well

I'm re-watching the CBC coverage of the GPF and something that Kurt said in his commentary rang so true to me: "it's always fun as a fan to see what Tessa and Scott are going to come up with. Sure, they take risk and sometimes maybe their priority goes towards the artistic, but boy who's the winner there? Maybe not always them, but we are."

Touché, Kurt!

I just watched the Étoiles sur glace (stars on ice) coverage from Radio-Canada and loved it! Scott looked especially sexy in the boys number
