Scott Moir ღ Tessa Virtue #90 ~ Because "their charm and grace is disarming and delightful."
Welcome to the Scott&Tessa thread! . . . . .
Our favourite programs . . . . . . . . Olympic Champions World Champions . . . . . . . . . .In 2003-2004 season, fourteen-year old Virtue and sixteen-year old Moir made their debut on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit. They placed 4th at the event in Croatia and 6th in Slovakia. At the 2004 Canadian Figure Skating Championships, they won the Junior title, qualifying them for the 2004 World Junior Figure Skating Championships, where they placed 11th. They skated to Russian Medley choreographed by their future coach Marina Zoueva and Tutti Frutti. Canadian commentators were gushing about this remarkable new couple, calling them the new Bourne and Kraatz. Coached by Paul MacIntosh and Suzanne Killing, Virtue and Moir were quickly making themselves known in the figure skating world for their intricate footwork and incredible skating abilities. “All of a sudden, one day I woke up and ice dance and T e s s a ... that was my whole life.” . . . . .

Quote:
On the SD: Tanith: "Tessa and Scott have some good mileage on this Latin dance, it was actually their FD from last season, so you can see that comfort and familiarity in all the movements." Andrea: "I always wonder what judges think when a team decides to repeat music." Tanith: "I think it depends on the circumstances, and certainly in Tessa and Scott's case, having been out for a good chunk of the season with injury, it doesn't seem overdone at this point. So it's really subjective to what each team went through. This is all new choreography from Tessa and Scott for this program... ...Tessa and Scott's connection to one another, their ability to really stare into each other's eyes and create an intimacy and electricity between both themselves and the audience is unique to only them, and one of the reasons obviously they were able to become Olympic champions, but it's really demonstrated well in this short dance...everything is really aligned well in this program." When the program ended, Tanith reacted in what I would describe as a "yep, that was fab" kind of way. She then said "that was a jam-packed program. So many intricacies in the choreography, that's a lot of work and they did it pretty darn well for this early in the season." She also added "when I watch these two, most often I just find myself thinking 'I could never do that!' They really have earned all of their titles and their status as all-stars." She then noted that every little way Tessa and Scott touch each other in the program was indicative of their amazing chemistry on the ice. She finished by saying that their dominance in their skating skills and ability to take on such difficult choreography speaks for itself. On the FD: Tanith and Andrea didn't talk as much during this program as they had during the SD. Several of their comments revolved around how difficult it must be for Olympic champions to try and one-up themselves year after year, and that the pressure to keep coming up with masterpieces must be incredible. But that Tessa and Scott are happier this season, are skating for themselves, and seem to have moved past that pressure, are setting their own goals, and trying to reach them. She also pointed out that Tessa and Scott are very smart and consistent in setting goals for themselves throughout the season. Andrea also asked about the rivalry with Meryl and Charlie and Tanith noted that everyone she knows, along with she herself, is really excited to see them go to head at GPF, and that both teams are basically at the top with everyone else below them in their wake. As for the program itself, she pointed out how many fantastic little subtleties exist in the choreography, how wonderful all the details really are, the way they have variation in their emotion, how it all stays in tune with the music, and that they should keep working on their speed and upping the excitement level in the middle part of the program some. She also noted that all of their elements were very well executed. In all, she was incredibly complimentary and very fair, as I feel she always has been when commentating Tessa and Scott's programs. Oh, and Tanith also noted that Tessa always looks so balletic and beautiful, down to her fingers. __________________

Amelia, thank you for the new thread, and Kris, for the transcription!
Here are some pics from the FD and a couple from the gala - I'm sorry for the not so great quality. Taking photos at the gala was a fiasco, and I simply gave up at some point. My camera and the lighting at Bercy refused to get along. Tessa & Scott TEB FD - a set on Flickr |

Thanks, Kris.
Tanith is a classy girl! I enjoyed watching her on BOTB, and I hope she's OK health-wise. (It sounds like she and Ben won't be skating for a while, partly so she can let some lingering health problems heal.) |

Thanks again everyone for the TEB news especially Ioanna. So glad TS did well, but I'm not as in love with their FD as I thought I would be. I immediately loved it when I saw it from Finlandia, but now I'm not loving it more each time I see it. I'm kinda puzzled because....I truly do like it. Will let you guys know if I figure out what's bothering me, assuming it's something worth sharing lol. Last edited by canadablue; 11-21-2011 at 04:32 AM |

Thanks so, so much for sharing your photos, Ioanna! Exhibitions can be very tricky with the low lighting and spotlights, but I think yours came out great. So glad you got to go and have a great time.
