Together

When you’re supposed to be cooking but you can’t resist a little flirting

Bonus: When you know what you did

Once upon a time, on a normal day at warm-ups…

Perfect by Ed Sheeran plays…❤️

And she loses it…🥰

She starts singing along, looking at him like he is her world…✨

And that, kids, is how your father got together with your mother…❤️

Code for: levels don’t matter any more in ice dance, GOE is worth more, so who cares about levels. 

To think about that in some more concrete terms, the team that earned the lowest overall score for the FD, had a base value of 44.58, so really, there was only about 1.5 points difference.  And yet there was a huge difference in overall score – 124.82 vs 111.39.  Over 10 points difference alone in GOE and PCS.

For example, in previous season, if Hubbell/Donohue had scored level 1 and level 2 on the pattern dance at the Grand Prix Final, it would be panic stations and a bad score…. not ‘we came here not being afraid of losing levels’ and a seasons best RD score. 

I just don’t like this judging system because it could do serious damage to the reputation of ice dance. 

I just feel like I’m taking crazing pills.

Episode 8: Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

May 23, 2016

The Inside Edge is where I take you behind-the-scenes of the @SkatingPj Podcast. It is no secret that I have known these two for a very long time. I am a big fan not only of them as skaters, but as people. This podcast had been in the works for some time and I was delighted to grab a quick half hour with 2010 Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir before they headed off to the rink for the Stars on Ice 2016 Toronto show.

A lot has changed since they first started skating together 19 years ago. They have come a long way from skating together as children to national and international titles and acclaim. Many would have thought that Tessa and Scott would have nothing more to accomplish in the amateur ranks of skating. Part of this podcast is spent talking about their return to competition and their new training locale in Montreal with Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon.

They have never really left the ice and skating in shows during their time away takes all kinds of training. In addition to their return to the amateur ranks, they have been involved in other projects as well, such as Tessa’s launching of a new a jewellery line.

This podcast is a great snapshot of where and what Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have been up to. Connect with Tessa and Scott on social media.
