Gotta be honest here, guys…
Tempted to just post a bunch of pictures of Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir’s short dance. Oh, what the heck.
Already in love with these pictures!
That back extension. That facial expression. Honestly.
This is what experts call “picture perfect”.
How is it even possible to see their speed and edge quality without seeing their feet?! And yet, there it is.
Do you have trouble stopping when you skate? Check out this stop, guys.
Oh, you thought it was just an awesome stop? Buddy, we got tricks you ain’t seen yet. Though, well, you have seen this. A bunch of times. ‘Cause this is a Finnstep step. You haven’t seen it done like this though!
The extension of Tessa’s neck. The depth of Scott’s spread eagle. HONESTLY!
You like kicks, judges? How ’bout this kick? You like this kick?
Oh, you want some performance? How’s this for performance?
No, can’t say it, too easy, too easy…oh, what the heck.
Look, Ma, no hands!
…sigh…
This. Is. The. Best.
The Ice Dance competition concludes Tuesday with the free dance. Tune in to see Canada’s other dance teams, Alexandra Paul & Mitchell Islam and Kaitlyn Weaver & Andrew Poje, have their Olympic moment. Watch Tessa & Scott skate a captivating long program and then maybe tune out for approximately 5 minutes. Take a walk or something.
