    Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir #48: Long Time Running

    While Tessa is doing her promos for Nivea, I'm actually stoked at hearing news of Scott being involved in the Junior Development Camp in Calgary this month. Also, that little blurb of them both with National Ballet of Canada. It's almost like full circle for Tessa since she took the decision to...

    The honor continues ... (yes, this time with talk of her initiative in mind) :) https://www.vancourier.com/living/tessa-virtue-wants-girls-to-know-they-can-be-anything-they-put-their-mind-to-1.23658149

    How insanely cool that Tessa is now among of one of the iconic toy brands in North America :p https://barbie.mattel.com/en-us/about/role-models.html?icid=role-models_body_module-1_role-models_p1 Is it just me or that I also wished that they included a blurb of her activism for Girls for Sport...

    I'm just loving the idea that Scott is giving back to the skaters in any way shape or form skating wise. Even if he does it in spurts as a consultant or consider it as a on-going gig later on, I'm going to root for him as I do with Tessa's. Sadly, of late, people are complaining he's not doing...

    Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir #48: Long Time Running

    My take on this is that it's a human interest piece. Maybe for some, the written words sounded rather harsh. To me, it's just brutal honesty. Over the years, we've been treated to written pieces that are somewhat superficial. Nothing wrong with that. But it never really captures what truly...

    Happy One Year, everyone! :) I've been bouncing between forum boards lately. Though I have been silent about some things, I must say that I wish people can be kinder to those who strive for something and with the best of intentions. The talk/review about Thank You Canada Tour by some people...

    Thanks for sharing this transcript. Mix of sad and immense proudness for them though. They're wrong to think that they were alone. If anything, I think their fanbase grew after Vancouver. Being here then, I felt a lot of you rallied behind them all those seasons heading to Sochi. But I don't...

    Thought the ending was a nice sum of mutual Trust and respect...At the start of this podcast piece, it immediately brought me back to mind those endless debate happening here and outside forums of what is and isn't appropriate. (Goodness, it's like a 2 sec. face-on-belly contact made out as...

    Love these two :) Though I have to say, Scott is a natural at this acting gig. The scriptwriter with that "partner partner" bit ... really sly :p

    Yup, loving the idea of Scott (and/or Tessa) taking up role as coaches in the future ... Thanks for sharing these links, Shayii :) I too am going through a V/M withdrawal. (Too busy to be here during Olympics, now on downtime, catching up on all goodies. So glad for Youtube too) Enjoy the...

    Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir #48: Long Time Running

    Goodness, I couldn't even sit through TSL's ice dance olympics recap. Feels like an art critic than actual sport critic. Fire and air? Costume malfunction? Crowd fav? What ifs? :rolleyes: Really? Where's talk about analysis of the skating elements (twizzles, SS, lifts, holds, edges, etc.)?? It's...

    Lovely posts since the Games, everyone :) I'm not going to bother to throw in my own opinion about the scores. It's enough going around in FSU boards to get me in some posters' bad books. Except I say this ... I think v/m was deserving of the win. Skated two very well-skated performances in...

    Love your twizzles explanation post, kittysk8ts :) I'm with you for those twizzles in Latch program. Such a smooth transition from kneeling and into the twizzles done in unison still stands out as one of my fav in their mix match of twizzles. I'm so pleased this season they worked out the kinks...

    Tech panel will be able to give you better answer of the marks for level of difficulty and presentation. As far as I understood from the years reading here, twizzles depends on how fast a couple does them together, performed in unison, how much they travel over the ice while doing so, how close...
