[Rukia]

I'm so sad

 

[Lanie]

I am so sad.

 

[kwanette]

I cried..

 

[skipaway]

That saddens me to the extreme….

 

[Trillian]

Watch the video to the end. It's so moving.

I second this.

As a fan, I’m heartbroken, but I also can’t imagine a more beautiful way they could have made this announcement.

 

[skatfan]

Such sad news. They‘re one of the best artistic couples in the dance field.

 

[beckab81]

A beautiful farewell performance - I teared up at the end. I'm sure it's the right decision for them, but still sad.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Kaitlin and Jean-Luc sound at peace with their decision, but I'm sad it's ending this way. I was hoping to see them become national champs.

 

[Firedancer]

I’m so sad. I definitely will miss them

 

[skatingcheckers]

so sad about this. I wish them the best.

 

[ChelleC]

That was gorgeous. I'm so incredibly sad about this.

 

[love skating]

Also sad and gosh that was a gorgeous performance!

 

[Joubabe]

Wiping away the tears. Sad that they didn't get all of the podium finishes they so richly deserved because of the deep talent in the U.S.

 

[Rob]

Very emotional. I am sad that they didn't make it back on the ice, but happy that they are taking care of themselves.

 

[Wyliefan]

They worked so long and hard and are so talented, a national title would have been nice. Maybe when they both get healthy again, they'll give it another shot. Wishing them the very best no matter what they do.

 

[Aceon6]

 

[BittyBug]

What a gorgeous program, but if that's the last we see of their skating....

 

[Allisanna]

That programs was so beautiful. If this is the end of their competitive career, I hate that it happened this way.

 

[~tapdancer~]

So utterly beautiful. I love them and I will miss them with all my heart. They were and are very special.

 

[coralline]

Watch the video to the end. It's so moving.

I smiled and cried…oh these two！

 

[Frau Muller]

I will miss Hawayek & Baker very much! Even though I’m not a fan of the ‘80s RDs, I was so looking forward to their Stayin’ Alive:

That wasn't their RD for this season. Per their ISU bio it was U2's With or Without YouI.

Didn’t know. Well, I enjoyed Stayin’ Alive on the You Tube film! Looked like the 1980s.

 

[On My Own]

They are a beautiful, stunning team, and I wish them all the best for their future. I thought, at least artistically, they had the goods to become one of the very best teams ever.

 

[Spiralgraph]

I feel hollow inside. I'm such a big fan of their beautiful skating, and was so looking forward to their successful return. But their health comes first, and I'll resign myself to not seeing them. Thank goodness they did make it to the Olympics.

 

[BlueRidge]

They gave us such a gift by recording that video.

I’m guessing that this On-Ice Perspectives video of “I Found You Because You’re Beautiful” was to have been their 2023/24 FD. Emotional ending! Sorry that we won’t be seeing it live.

Actually, that Bee Gees music was from the 70s. It's part of the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever.
