Baby Italians don't have one here?

I'll be a sobbing mess in Milan at the end of their FD

 

[Wyliefan]

We can sob together.

Yes, I'll miss their presence in ice dance sorely.

Also, Anna is hands down the best dressed female ice dancer. Maybe even of all time, IMO.

I'm so glad the white dress was brought back. The red one doesn't fit the program IMO

Anna posted this on her Instagram a few months ago, and I have to say - it's really sweet. She also has a picture of them in their police uniforms, and one of Luca and his son (who is darling, of course).

She is absolutely the best-dressed skater around.

Yes, and that is a hard FACT.

Also Luca is a strong candidate for the best dressed male ice dancer award.

 

[Anyasnake]

Luca's natural dance skills, his natural way of moving, is also VERY underrated.

 

[BlueRidge]

He's also a superb performer.

Both are, and even if you are a strong team, you can look a bit pale next to them if you don't give it 100%... performance quality so strong. I hope they do shows.

 

[muffinplus]

They should absolutely do shows. I feel like they've stepped out of silent movies when watching their programs, that's how good they are at acting...

I think they had a thread but it got lost. In general, I like more how this forum works but what I do not like is that for the things stored is a disaster, nothing organized.

I'm so glad the white dress was brought back. The red one doesn't fit the program IMO

I think that maybe she will wear the red one for the individual competition.

 

[ToFarAwayTimes]

They were lovely to watch tonight and I thought they had the best program. Should have placed 4th or 5th.

I hope they will be happy with their performance.

[Wyliefan]

Allow me to join you.



They are so special. I'll miss them so much.

They did it great!!! , but last competition

Anna and Luca walk away from figure skating as World Champions, European champions, and winners of many other things. They should be proud of themselves.

 

[Wyliefan]

So many tears. We need the Costco industrial-size case of Kleenex. Or a boat.

And bringers of such joy to the ice and to those of us watching!!

Did she change the color of her dress? I remember it was white and now it looked beige, I prefer this new dress.

The voiceover from the beginning of their La Vita e Bella / Life is Beautiful free dance is posted (and translated) on Luca's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BgVwd85AY3_/?taken-by=luca.lanotte_skater

Grazie mille to Anna & Luca for sharing their skating lives with so many fans over the years. I'm so grateful I got to watch both programs live in person once this season. May they enjoy the rest of their (separate) lives off the ice!

 

[Spikefan]

The look Anna gave Lucca during the final moves in their program had me in tears. So wonderful to have their final competitive skate on home ice. They will be missed.

 

[BittyBug]

I think that was the most emotional skate I have ever seen. What a beautiful coda to a fantastic career.

 

[IloveFS]

They did it great!!! , but last competition

Have they confirmed their retirement? They will be missed!!! One of my favourite ice dance teams EVER!!!

 

[paskatefan]

I heart them too! So grateful we got to see them skate (& medal @ this season's Skate America). Their exhibition programs are so enjoyable as well.

 

[cholla]

That. I must confess they were never my fave ice dancers but I got all teary in Milano because it was so touching to see them skate for the last time (and skate so well !) At the end of their FD I found myself crying for good !

Anna's short interview from 2 days ago: https://youtu.be/Zshhur1dzTo
English translation from this blog https://fyeahitalianskaters.tumblr.com/day/2018/04/24/

How was your season? Are you satisfied?

Oh yeah completely! It was… intense to say the least, crazy competitions one after another. Surely we would’ve loved to to bring home some more medals from both Europeans and Worlds at home. But it was even more important for us that we gave our utmost best with really high level performances and we had wonderful moments with our audience.

Are you thinking of your future?

Absolutey. Now it’s a moment of relax, vacation and recovery from this season that was really difficult and tiring, we have to heal some aliments we got durng the season. But of course we are thinking of our career outlets, of what we can give back to skating and not only.

So your intentions is to continue…

(laughs) Well for now we are on a break as I was saying but yeah we still haven’t put an end to our career, we still consider ourselves athletes because maybe we have still something to give.

So, it looks like they have not yet decided about retirerement or continuation definetely.

A new exhibition program to look forward to watching! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh_NV92HrUY/?taken-by=kapanna87
