Olympic Journey: Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir - "Roxanne"

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Interestingly, this special just showed up on my youtube suggestions. Seems that it's online already, which I don't understand, but here it is for those who want to take a look now:

P.S. make sure you turn on the closed-captioning on Youtube so you can get the French translation from Marie-France and Patrice

That video was made from the French broadcast - presumably it has already aired on Radio-Canada. Scott & Tessa's English words are closed captioned into French :)

Wowzo!!!!! What a glorious retrospective of their career!!
I loved the ROXANNE program history -- particularly since I've not seen Moulin Rouge.
However, after the original video ....all sorts of delicious videos kept coming one
after another just reminding us how special Tessa and Scott are to the skating world and
of course, to us who are fans of skating.
I spent the whole afternoon watching these and loving them all......and the Olympics haven't
even started.

It's a very emotional piece and although in the 2010 Olympics that chose the Mahler and it suited them perfectly, I think Roxanne suits them perfectly today, and there's no way they should go with another Mahler like performance. It would be like saying they hadn't grown, and they have. I do wonder if it has the content and difficulty necessary, but that may just be because they make it looks so easy. Like the Mahler in 2010, this skate brings tears to my eyes also. So it has a good chance.
