Meryl and Charlie and fans/Team USA/Olympics getting nostalgic on SM today. Happy 4 year anniversary of the gold to them! I will always miss watching them compete but I can't be sad because they are so damn happy with their lives. :encore:

Charlie's been really sharp and entertaining on Olympic Ice (call him, Britney!) Has anyone seen his 4K commentary? I'd love to hear Meryl's comments for Detroit tv - any links out there?

Meryl's team USA blogs
Charlie talks about dance, trolls, and baby passports

4 years ago @Meryl_Davis and I accomplished something special But we also knew that winning and being a champion are not the same thing My dad gave me this poem when I was young, and I look forward to passing it on to my son, in hopes that he too will understand IF - R. Kipling

Nice, thanks! It must be such a rush to skate in shows with all the production and live music and crowds. Looks from SM that they're enjoying the afterparties, too. :40beers: Thank goodness they haven't realized they're supposed to be crushed and ashamed at being outmedaled :barrel.

With their crazy schedules how do they find the time to skate such lovely programs and keep their skills sharp? Kudos.
This where you see that when you are overtrained in an Olympic year (2013-2014) it may stay forever :lol:
Because they really were so trained. Like they couldn't put one foot wrong. And they are great in shows, I hope they continue to do many of them.

and the weird pterodactyl flying lady during one of D/W's programs :scream: (do say hi to her during the program),

the whole thing seems amazing.:p The Art on Ice creative team must be running out of ideas after all these years.:slinkaway

I preferred Intimissimi on Ice a lot more.:shuffle: I hope they do that show again.

Elladj Balde posted this cute routine he did for fun at Art On Ice. Meryl/Charlie and Savchenko/Massot were part of it and you can see them briefly at the beginning. By the way, I had no idea Elladj was dating Michelle Dawley. She was one of the dancers here as well as the Love On The Floor tour. They sure are cute together.

Bruno Massot posted a pic of himself with Charlie at Art On Ice:

Charlie in fine form MCing the crowd for retakes during the Orlando SOI taping😂👌🏾. https://youtu.be/wPyDJVprqmw
That was great!:lol:

From the clips and news I gathered that there are two new programs for D/W:
1) I Want to Hold your hand (cover) and Hold My Hand by Jess Glynne (transition inspired by mid-program costume changes of Olympic SDs?:lol:)
2) Elastic Heart by Sia (the scarf from Intimissimi On Ice is back :cheer2:)

Several videos have been posted by @Sylvia in the SOI thread

I have been wanting to see a Sia song so I can't wait to see it. 😍
The show was taped in Orlando and will be airing on NBCSN next Saturday 12:30-1:30PM EST. Since it is going to be only an hour long on NBCSN, which is more like 20 minutes of actual show after all the ads, I hope we get to see at least one number.

Thank goodness the show is being televised since the tour isn't coming to my state! :(

I love this quote from the Naples Daily News:

And while most of the show is fun and energetic, Davis and White’s performance to Sia’s “Elastic Heart” near the end of the show left the audience spellbound in its simplistic beauty as Davis and White worked a long billowing red scarf between them, demonstrating intricate footwork and deep edges.

Have they reworked their Orpheus and Eurydice program from Intimissimi on Ice? That was beautiful!

I've been trying to find a video of their Elastic Heart program, but no luck so far. I sure hope it makes the cut on the television broadcast. I too thought their program from Intimissimi on Ice was beautiful. I loved the way they worked that red scarf. It was :smokin:!
