It has been a long time coming thank you Tessa and Scott. Misha Ge tweeted this about Moulin Rouge:
I feel like there hasn't been enough discussion about the new FD costumes. Particularly Scott's. Particularly Scott's pants. I think they took the FD to a totally new level.
Are you coming to Nationals?
Finally watched the FD and EX. What can I say...I absolutely did tear up while watching both. Yes, to the new red dress. (Reminded me of when they interpreted Carmen's costuming too). Yes, to their tribute to their past and present signature moves and lifts. Can't wait to see their programs grow more into the season.
Absolutely agree. But as much as I understand and respect their decision, I cannot help but feel sad that we won't see them again, especially with the guidance by people from Gadbois. I respect, and also like, the years they spent coached by Zueva, but I feel their quality of skating got to another level since they moved to Montreal. This year is probably the last, but a part of me still hopes they will miss the world of ice dance so much that they will come back. Probably a silly thought but never say never.After such a crazy weekend for me, it felt so good to catch up on V/M news on this thread
I also told myself not to venture into other skating forums. Some comments are just plain brutal and unnecessary. So what if they wish to compete and posts actually asking why don't they retire already. (They will eventually) So what if you think they are legends and then pick on what they could/should have picked on a better song/costume/style of dance, etc. (They never disappoint with what they believed in to skate to)
To me, they are one of many (who I consider) that defined ice dance as it should be. The joy of dance. Not skate. But pure dance with glides ever so gracefully and elegantly. Embodied the music completely and executing such intricate holds and lifts. (Their feet, I always thought, are like magnets on ice) Most importantly, like they always do in all their programs, they simply delivered. No hesitation. Chemistry and more.
Here I'm thinking, I'm so not ready for them to leave just yet. That they still have more to give but I also understand finally closing this chapter of their lives and leaving on such a high note. 20 years, wow. I truly wish them all the love, the best and luck this season and beyond.
I feel exactly the same. The beginning of this FD is so strong and powerful, but what really got me is the CWM part. I'm tearing up every time I reach that part. I don't understand how people say the last part and the ending is not emotional enough. To me it hits every note of emotion. I just love this program so much!
Oh yay! Looking forward to seeing you again!
Me too. 100%. I pray they make no further changes. Just additions and honing. It is perfect. The marks are there. They scored 117 + with a tech error on a step sequence. They would have been at 120.
The "I love you until the end up time" always gets me. I'm going to be a blubbering mess 4 months from now ugh.
Did you watch the British Eurosport commentary? They said the same thing and one said he got choked up just thinking about it. We're going to be a mess come February.
Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally. This is always passed by. They work equally in the lifts.
