This literally made me cry. I can’t even imagine the total hours of blood, sweat, and tears that went into this performance. Possibly the most deserved gold medal in Olympic history.
Not nobody. I read several comments here on the magnificence of her landings. Bruno gets mentioned frequently because he makes Aljona entirely weightless in his hands, among many other reasons. She is still the focal point for sure, but, when compared to other men, Bruno does a better job making his partner look amazing. The guy is a mensch among his less-studly peers.
Despite being past her prime and never having won more than Olympic bronze in her attempts dating back to 2002, Aljona won the gold with this performance in immense part because of her partner. They smashed the records in points, which was incredible considering this was her first Olympic win so late in her career (aged 34). All of this points heavily to Bruno.
@@EzerEben uh you make it seem like she only put little to no effort when in reality it was both of them who made this performance absolutely magnificent
Skating is one of the few events where people don’t care who you’re competing for, they just appreciate a great performance regardless of where the competitors are from.
This was her 5th time at Olympia, winning two bronze medals before. But she said she couldn’t stop or retire without winning gold. She was so sad about the bronze medals that she said she couldn’t look at them and kept them in the basement. The saddest part was, that it was always her partners „fault“ and never her who made a mistake. So her winning gold was really her dream come true and the result of 30 years of hard work.
@@joooecool it is banned but the program was over at that point, so no problem, it is only banned because its not considered skating, not for a health reason or anything
Yet another call-back to Torvill and Dean's "Boléro", along with the similar costumes and certain elements of the programme choreographed by Christopher Dean.
@Burnt Orange The use of one piece of music that gradually builds and builds, as well as quickening in tempo is another similarity, in addition to the ones you mentioned. They are two highly individual programmes and the connections between them are subtle yet undeniable.
Winning an Olympic gold medal at your fifth Games, with your third partner, after two disappointing bronzes, at age 34, despite being in 4th after the short program. Legends only
@@LolaPasco Bronze is amazing, but it may not align with your personal goals. If you were striving for gold, of course you are gonna be disappointed if you get bronze. Even if it means you are one of the best in the world.
Their performance at the WM 2018 was even better. Here, their performance at the Winter Olympics had a few (more) little mistakes like the lack of synchro at 8:10 f. ^^

@@joekel55 Yeah I meant hours daily for years. I believe everything is possible if you put in the work. Yes some are more 'gifted' than others but hard work can overcome the differences.
This is THE BEST all time pairs free skate I have ever seen. They have so many unique elements, and that final lift sequence where somehow it looks like he is not even holding her, and the crowd gasps at something like that they have never seen before...unless of course, you saw them performing this program in the Grand Prix and other events. It's just stunning. Extremely well deserved. And all the other pairs programs years later pale in comparison.
Please, allow me to disagree with you... As any other sports, once you love the what you're doing, train well, constantly practice, have the required support, and never give up, you will eventually master what you do.
@@fiorev6274 If we look at the things in our life from your own perspective, then everything should be (dangerous), even drinking a small cup of water.
They got the highest marks ever, broke every record in the history of figure skating and deserved it. The technical merit was extremely high, the artistic performance breathtaking, the grace of Aljona magic and the synchronicity astounding. A magic moment with the well deserved gold medal.
It's remarkable how well Bruno is able to calibrate moment to moment when they're moving at different speeds when he only has a fraction of a second to look at her while they're spinning. I noticed it a few times and he managed to ALWAYS make sure his movement stopped at the same time as hers. Insane really to have that kind of accuracy and to be in the moment that intensely
It’s actually an amazing story. She had been to 3 Olympic Games before this one in 2018... once she didn’t place on the podium, then in 2010 and 2014 she got bronze. She chased the gold for 16 years and finally won it with Massot in 2018. It makes me tear up too!
If there is a routine to describe Paired Ice Skating this is it . This routine was absolutely flawless , no other word can describe it . Everything was perfection . Starting with the music , the wardrobe which suits exceptionally with the PyeongChang decor , the mid celebration when she realised she landed one of the hardest jumps in history … I watch this every year , I am 23 and I still cry like a child when I see it .There is no other gold medal in Olympic Games more well deserved then this one . Sheer perfection.
Just imagine having to exert all that energy just to have the woman's smaller body frame to be synchronized with the speed of the man's much larger physicality. The centers of gravity are different. That's why pairs is so awesome.
As a former ballet dancer, I can confirm that that part is as hard as the technical stuff. Their physical chemistry and attention to each other's movements is truly amazing.
Yes, anyone who is moderately athletic can tell how incredibly superhuman this routine was. The man lifted her multiple times, sometimes with one arm. She maintained proper form and kept up with his speed. Breathtaking. Pushes the boundaries of human physical limitations.
For people who doesn't know their story, in short: It was FIFTH Olympics for Aljona, she got two bronzes with previous partner but she paired up with Bruno only four years before 2018 Olympics. She's native Ukrainian, he's French, they competed for Germany, because she was representing Germany with previous partner Robin Szolkowy after she left Ukraine because of lack of money and federation support. They had to pay a huge money for French federation for the 'release' for Bruno from France. Her story is crazily unbelievable, but worth to know. Definitely iconic pair.
... not to forget that Bruno had to become a German citizen and failed the exam, he became his German passport only 3 month before they started for Pyeongchang, having trained 4 years. And then the mistake Bruno did in their short routine, so that they lost 4 points and had to start on the 4th position and were not sure to get gold even after this stunning performance - only after the other also really strong pairs did one after another some small mistakes, it was clear that they got the gold medal. Indeed, Hollywood should go for the story! :)
Omg I'm from Ukraine! Thought her name was slav but got confused seeing that she represented Germany. Can't blame her for leaving, definitely gonna get out some time in the future as well
All skaters can do this, it's not extraordinary. *I'm talking about memorizing their routines, not imitating the performance. This performance will NEVER be replicated.
not to be THAT person but after tons of practice it’s basically muscle memory I bet they don’t even have to think about what to do next their body does it subconsciously
I wish for my medical exam I only had to memorize a few minutes worth oft connections... :D I think remembering their routine was their least problem. The skill and stamina ON TOP impresses me... Could never do that.
When they appeared on the ice, it was a hopeless case. They needed a miracle to win the gold medal and what happens here is really breathtaking. A flawless performance with the highest notes ever given in the history of pairs free skating. It was so well-deserved.
@@hhhajima They were 4th after short program, where Bruno popped the salchow. Sui/Han were known to usually put up a strong free skate, but that day they made mistakes, Tarasova/Morozov (2nd after short program) made mistakes, but Aljona and Bruno skated perfect and all that combined allowed them to win the gold.
@Paul Pulke not true. The 2018 Worlds were held AFTER the Olympics. In 2017 they got the Second Place, plus presented a different Free Program. Therefore, they didn't came out as current World Champions that year.
Yea, it's a shame Sui/Han didn't win the gold medal (they've been through so much and their ascent to world champion is an inspiring story in itself), but on this day they lost to a perfect performance.
Emotional performance from beginning to end that got the crowd so involved. My favorite moment was their team at 4:06 kinda doing the choreo moves and gestures along with them, honestly it got me choked up. It sums up all the joint effort by all of them, seeing their support and excitement, it was their victory too. What a beautiful gold worthy moment 💞👏🥇
They make people forget for a few minutes that we are on Earth with it's massive gravity, it's physics laws and everything that can wreck havoc if things went a little unbalanced. They were almost weightless and flying in there.
After hearing the "experts" talking about Aljona in such a patronizing way early on in these Olympics (Like, "Aw look, she's over 30 and won't stop trying, isn't that cute?"), I found myself rooting with all my heart for this pair come through with something brilliant. And this was not only the most breathtaking pairs performance I can ever remember witnessing, it was BY FAR the most satisfying win!
We have this notion in our society that if you don't """"make it"""" by thirty, you won't ever make it at all. 34 years old is just right to win a gold medal, and I'm seriously moved by how graceful and in sync with each other they are. They definitely deserved the gold.
Agree 100%. Commentators were almost ridiculing her for getting herself a new boy and insist on achieving her dream. She rendered them and everyone else speechless. Never laugh of a talented, determined woman with a dream.
not a day passes by without me believing this is the best and biggest gift this beautiful pair could’ve have given to figure skating, this is absolutely peak, holding tears while watching this program is challenging, our challenge. their tribute to the sport needs to be celebrated everyday, forever grateful to aljona and bruno and their team for creating this timeless and eternal beauty 💜
@@elisabethdakak878 She may look skinny but she is not. She is all muscle and very strong. You should watch her work out videos to see how powerfully strong she is.
massot is among the better throwers in this competition. all the other guys look like they're hauling something that weighs a ton during throws (stops, so much lurching and heaving), whereas massot has very good form in his throws. very minimal lurching and heaving, and hardly ever stopping while throwing. that requires a lot of skill and coordination between the two. massot's throwing form is almost similar to the legendary grinkov's
@@zilam98 I agree with your assessment. Also, in the skating world Bruno is known and acknowledged for his incredibly strenght. Following the Olympics in one of TSL Skating Lesson interviews aired with the Canadian Olympic bronze medal Meagan Dunhamel; that was also the General consensus i.e. Bruno' incredible strength.
even witnessing such moments of perfection. It's incredible that humans are even capable of something like this, so rare! this is art, this is what is worth to suffer for!
Excuse me i have a question, in pyeong chang 2018 aljona got gold medal in pairs and tessa in pyeng chang 2018 got gold meadal in team. Can you explain me what is the difference between pairs and team?
This was one of those performances that makes the Olympics such a powerful display of human potential. The artistry and athleticism portrayed in this routine still blows me away to this day. One of the greatest pairs skating performances ever.
@@serakayle7903 no she just looks like that figure staking is an extremely tiring sport you use you entire body and practice for years to become this good the muscles on her must be insane she could probably even knock you out with one punch and get can pick her up like she is paper because he is also extremely built.
She’s truly one of the most hard working people you will EVER come across. She is a workhorse. So much so that she exhausted Bruno 😂 her energy and determination cannot be beat. And that’s why she is the champion.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed in my life - the sheer elegance, the artistry, the trust, the balance, the soul, the spirit, the control, the synergy, the whole of it. Somewhere in there, you could glimpse the transcendent nature of flow, of our species at its best. Beyond spectacular.
Her knowing this might be her last chance for Olympic gold, and him knowing he’s half responsible for that and his own drive to win. Movie plot in the making truly
@@GodOfFools he made some mistakes in a previous routine that dropped them to 4th. you could read Aljona's lips and see she asked if he messed up the jump (not in this video, but video of the routine he messed up in), so she knew and was pretty upset. So this routine he brought 200% and made it all up to her.
Do u thing homeboy ever gets jealous. Like don’t get me wrong what he’s doing is amazing but you think he ever wants to be thrown in the air and spun around?
Her life could be a Movie. Five tries at the olympics, many different partners, a change of country and then shortly before her retirement at her last games, her partner messes up the first routine but then... this magical final routine goes perfectly and they get the best score a couple has ever gotten and a well deserved gold medal! I have tears in my eyes!
I love how they both just collapse after they’re done. Like Jfc thats over. The amount of control and practice they must’ve gone through to put out such a performance.
Why can't I get rid of the feeling that this is one of the most brutal sports on earth? I don't want to know how often they fall really hard and have to get back up again.
That’s one of the amazing things about figure skating! It’s such a hard and physically demanding sport, but they also have to make it look graceful and elegant.... so incredible
@@zanibkhan3549 yes! apparently Ms Savchenko specifically sought out Christopher Dean because she wanted the program to have a blend of ice dance and pairs.
If the throw is just right, her muscle memory kicks-in and she makes the landing. If the throw is off, her muscle memory is like "what da fuq is this?' then she ends-up in the hospital.
Merideth V its bot really hard! And you need to have REALLY MUCH trust in your Partner but i think you cant say really say wich is harder (but i would say get thrown and land it) 😂
They both take an incredible amount of training etc. but the landing definitely is much more of a risk. You can end your career with one small mistake.
Sidenote: I love how their costumes match the background. Normally you'd wanna stand out, but this worked perfectly imo. They make the arena their backdrop, part of the story.
I love your take on that. I always felt like I was watching two characters in a winter themed story when watching this routine, and the purple backdrop accentuated that theme very well.
These things are not planned. The costumes take time to make and these costumes are from a very popular designer named Lisa McKinnon so the waiting list is long and the costumes are made in good time before the competition. It’s actually just a coincidence that the colors matches so perfectly, but it looks great!
@@P123-t4g i think it was planned, One year before the olympics there was a General try out, and the rink looked the same. She had it at the Nebelhorn trophy: Sep 29, 2017
If that were me, and I was thrown like that, I'd do the most perfect, most elegant, special and spectacular free styled belly flop anyone would ever see. I'd call it the "helpless seal".
The Hollywood should literally make a movie about Aljona Savchenko. After being placed 4th in the short program and everybody believed she would never realize her dream, Aljona won gold in her 5th Olympic. Her determination and perseverance are all so empowering to witness through all these years. So so glad she got this gold medal, the most decorated pair skater ever. Now she is the olympic champion, 2x olympic bronze medalists, 6x world champions, 4x European champions, and the most superhuman thing about her is that she NEVER got off the podium since 2006.
Their coaches are almost as passionate as them! So sad to hear that one of the coaches (the one with the glasses) passed away. R.I.P. Jean-François Ballester
Mesmerizing!! Best performance I have ever watched. Music, choreography, timing, syncronization, attire, chemistry. Perfection to the human eye! Awe inspiring. ❤❤❤❤ Now I'm going to watch it again. 😅
Actually, he’s French and she’s originally from the Ukraine. She switched to Germany to skate with her previous partner and then Bruno switched to skate with her when she needed a new partner after the last Olympics. Even though you have to be able to speak German to become a German citizen (which you must do to represent a country in the Olympics), he doesn’t speak it very well so it’s very likely they speak English to each other.
Breathtaking and I'm so emotional watching this... Goosebumps... Elegance, grace, strength, choreography, the music. You don't want to blink the eyes, you may miss a step, it's so wonderful to watch...
I love how you can see her focus when she goes into her jumps and as soon as she know her land is solid her face goes back into the beautiful ballet face
The best figure skating performance I have ever watched. This program includes everything you want: professional skills, amazing music, artistic expression, special skating techniques and tricks, synchronicity, joy and pain, tenderness and strength in every element and movement. Breathtaking and life long actual masterpiece on ice 😍🤤
Who’s watching in 2024?! From the opening pose and the first few notes alone we know we will be treated to something epic, historic and spectacular! I cry every time I watch this! ⛸️⛸️🥇🏆
The camerawork to capture this once in a lifetime performance was nothing short of exemplary. @2:53, the camera zooms out to show the height and distance of that breathtaking throw, and then back in as the skaters rejoin. If you have never seen figure skating live, it's difficult to appreciate just how fast these skaters are moving and how they use every inch of space on the rink. The camera work, from the switching to the framing, is the work of a vastly skilled and prepared crew. The viewers at home truly had the best seat in the house.
Ya I've seen no one here except for you praising the camera work when it deserves all the attention, it perfectly captured everything the viewers needed to see :)
That's why it is really better to watch all live shows at home... You got all the perfect angles of the show... Why waste money on shows such as concerts, opera and the likes when you cannot see all those beautiful scenes that the camera captures! Kudos to the camera crews for making this so satisfying to watch...
I keep returning to thsi performance. Your comment made me appreciate, why i like this version so, so much. I never considered, how hard it must be to capture a performance like this.
Well Koreans😌 they're the best in this kind of things, as a BTS fan I can assure you that korea's camerawork is out of this world, the difference between BTS' performances in the US vs Korea is huge
I love watching this since I was a little girl. The way they move on the ice like they are flying! And the costumes are beautiful. Always was mesmerazed and wanted to make them
Guys watch the instructors in the back at 3:58. They literally are moving with their team and it's interesting to watch them holding their breaths as their team nails it on the ice.

They got the highest marks ever, broke every record in the history of figure skating and deserved it. The technical merit was extremely high, the artistic performance breathtaking, the grace of Aljona magic and the synchronicity astounding. A magic moment with the well deserved gold medal.
Speech 100, but agree
I made the 1k
It's remarkable how well Bruno is able to calibrate moment to moment when they're moving at different speeds when he only has a fraction of a second to look at her while they're spinning. I noticed it a few times and he managed to ALWAYS make sure his movement stopped at the same time as hers. Insane really to have that kind of accuracy and to be in the moment that intensely
Pure truth has been spoken. Agree!
Maravilloso!!! Insuperable!!!
They didn't deserve the Gold medal, the Gold medal deserves them.
😘😘
they had us in the first half not gonna lie
The amount of times I've watched this performance is unhealthy

Literally
Bro yes, same
The depth of her kneebend is absolutely one the most technically and visually pleasing things I have ever seen in figure skating. Breathtaking
no ones talking about how pretty her outfit is
ya i agree her outfit is gorgeous and looks perfect for formal events if it was slighter longer

It’s actually an amazing story. She had been to 3 Olympic Games before this one in 2018... once she didn’t place on the podium, then in 2010 and 2014 she got bronze. She chased the gold for 16 years and finally won it with Massot in 2018. It makes me tear up too!
It‘s criminal that youtube do adds between this performance.
I agree

If there is a routine to describe Paired Ice Skating this is it . This routine was absolutely flawless , no other word can describe it . Everything was perfection . Starting with the music , the wardrobe which suits exceptionally with the PyeongChang decor , the mid celebration when she realised she landed one of the hardest jumps in history … I watch this every year , I am 23 and I still cry like a child when I see it .There is no other gold medal in Olympic Games more well deserved then this one . Sheer perfection.
Yes. I absolutely agree. The routine, music, costumes...everything was perfection. ❤
Just imagine having to exert all that energy just to have the woman's smaller body frame to be synchronized with the speed of the man's much larger physicality. The centers of gravity are different. That's why pairs is so awesome.
As a former ballet dancer, I can confirm that that part is as hard as the technical stuff. Their physical chemistry and attention to each other's movements is truly amazing.
Yes, anyone who is moderately athletic can tell how incredibly superhuman this routine was. The man lifted her multiple times, sometimes with one arm. She maintained proper form and kept up with his speed. Breathtaking. Pushes the boundaries of human physical limitations.
This has to be one of the highest, if not thee highest form of athletic coordination, and fitness.
True
superblahmanofdoom that's pushing it. I think your over reacting.
and she did that with FREAKING HOOP EARRINGS
I always find it fascinating when athletes can wear jewelry and not let it distract them.
Omg I never thought of that until now - HOW?!
Wow what a dumb and irrelevant comment.
Alistair Wright no it’s not because hoops can move and feel uncomfortable in some situations and necklaces can move when spinning and such.
I was the one who got distracted when i saw her wearing it
I can't imagine how many times they fell on the training ground to have such a great performance. Humans are amazing.

For people who doesn't know their story, in short:
It was FIFTH Olympics for Aljona, she got two bronzes with previous partner but she paired up with Bruno only four years before 2018 Olympics. She's native Ukrainian, he's French, they competed for Germany, because she was representing Germany with previous partner Robin Szolkowy after she left Ukraine because of lack of money and federation support. They had to pay a huge money for French federation for the 'release' for Bruno from France. Her story is crazily unbelievable, but worth to know. Definitely iconic pair.
Wow, so much going on. Thank you for this information!
... not to forget that Bruno had to become a German citizen and failed the exam, he became his German passport only 3 month before they started for Pyeongchang, having trained 4 years. And then the mistake Bruno did in their short routine, so that they lost 4 points and had to start on the 4th position and were not sure to get gold even after this stunning performance - only after the other also really strong pairs did one after another some small mistakes, it was clear that they got the gold medal. Indeed, Hollywood should go for the story! :)
Omg I'm from Ukraine! Thought her name was slav but got confused seeing that she represented Germany. Can't blame her for leaving, definitely gonna get out some time in the future as well
That's sad... They should represent their country, imo.
It must be strange for him, competiting his own country
The fact that they remembered this entire routine shows how good their memory is
All skaters can do this, it's not extraordinary. *I'm talking about memorizing their routines, not imitating the performance. This performance will NEVER be replicated.
Honestly I’m pretty sure after the 50th practice session, it’s 90% muscle memory. But the discipline is just astounding
It becomes second nature. Lots of muscle memory involved, like the other commenter said. 😊
not to be THAT person but after tons of practice it’s basically muscle memory I bet they don’t even have to think about what to do next their body does it subconsciously
I wish for my medical exam I only had to memorize a few minutes worth oft connections... :D
I think remembering their routine was their least problem. The skill and stamina ON TOP impresses me... Could never do that.
When they appeared on the ice, it was a hopeless case. They needed a miracle to win the gold medal and what happens here is really breathtaking. A flawless performance with the highest notes ever given in the history of pairs free skating. It was so well-deserved.
why was it a hopeless case?
@@hhhajima They were 4th after short program, where Bruno popped the salchow. Sui/Han were known to usually put up a strong free skate, but that day they made mistakes, Tarasova/Morozov (2nd after short program) made mistakes, but Aljona and Bruno skated perfect and all that combined allowed them to win the gold.
@Paul Pulke not true. The 2018 Worlds were held AFTER the Olympics. In 2017 they got the Second Place, plus presented a different Free Program. Therefore, they didn't came out as current World Champions that year.
Yea, it's a shame Sui/Han didn't win the gold medal (they've been through so much and their ascent to world champion is an inspiring story in itself), but on this day they lost to a perfect performance.
У меня много любимых фигуристов,но это выступление-гимн великой алене.только восторг.браво-великая алена.спасибо за все-за слезы восторга.
Emotional performance from beginning to end that got the crowd so involved. My favorite moment was their team at 4:06 kinda doing the choreo moves and gestures along with them, honestly it got me choked up. It sums up all the joint effort by all of them, seeing their support and excitement, it was their victory too. What a beautiful gold worthy moment 💞👏🥇
I was looking for this comment , thank you!
Yes. 💞👏🥇
They make people forget for a few minutes that we are on Earth with it's massive gravity, it's physics laws and everything that can wreck havoc if things went a little unbalanced. They were almost weightless and flying in there.
It's funny because the title of the music played can be translated into "Earth seen from sky above"
they did it hundreds of times, so the chance of failures is pretty small, but there are still one
After hearing the "experts" talking about Aljona in such a patronizing way early on in these Olympics (Like, "Aw look, she's over 30 and won't stop trying, isn't that cute?"), I found myself rooting with all my heart for this pair come through with something brilliant. And this was not only the most breathtaking pairs performance I can ever remember witnessing, it was BY FAR the most satisfying win!
WHAT SHE'S OVER 30?! I'm just 23 and I trip on myself
@@saoirsestark3903 she was 34 when she made gold and these were her 5th olympic games
They're so jealous it hurts.
We have this notion in our society that if you don't """"make it"""" by thirty, you won't ever make it at all. 34 years old is just right to win a gold medal, and I'm seriously moved by how graceful and in sync with each other they are. They definitely deserved the gold.
Agree 100%. Commentators were almost ridiculing her for getting herself a new boy and insist on achieving her dream. She rendered them and everyone else speechless. Never laugh of a talented, determined woman with a dream.
This scene is more romantic than Titanic
No retakes though 🙏
I couldn't agree more! ✨ That was magical 🌃
Like an opera with excellent skating and dance moves
It's giving me the feeling of ballet...
Change my mind
not a day passes by without me believing this is the best and biggest gift this beautiful pair could’ve have given to figure skating, this is absolutely peak, holding tears while watching this program is challenging, our challenge. their tribute to the sport needs to be celebrated everyday, forever grateful to aljona and bruno and their team for creating this timeless and eternal beauty 💜
She is now pregnant having a child, but she already dismissed her retirement! Her ambitions are just endless!
She's an inspiring athlete!
@@Olympics Indeed she is!
You right
Wow, thats great news! (both news 😉) I hope so much that she will try ice dancing.
Got a daughter!
He makes her look like she weighs nothing
I mean, she looks like she weights like 80 pounds, so that’s basically the same as nothing 😅
The female skater is very skinny, and so light. I am afraid she falls
@@elisabethdakak878 She may look skinny but she is not. She is all muscle and very strong. You should watch her work out videos to see how powerfully strong she is.
massot is among the better throwers in this competition. all the other guys look like they're hauling something that weighs a ton during throws (stops, so much lurching and heaving), whereas massot has very good form in his throws. very minimal lurching and heaving, and hardly ever stopping while throwing. that requires a lot of skill and coordination between the two. massot's throwing form is almost similar to the legendary grinkov's
@@zilam98 I agree with your assessment. Also, in the skating world Bruno is known and acknowledged for his incredibly strenght. Following the Olympics in one of TSL Skating Lesson interviews aired with the Canadian Olympic bronze medal Meagan Dunhamel; that was also the General consensus i.e. Bruno' incredible strength.
It's these times that I just feel honored to be a human. To see what beautiful things we can create...
even witnessing such moments of perfection. It's incredible that humans are even capable of something like this, so rare! this is art, this is what is worth to suffer for!

She’s truly one of the most hard working people you will EVER come across. She is a workhorse. So much so that she exhausted Bruno 😂 her energy and determination cannot be beat. And that’s why she is the champion.
Yep imagine how many falls
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed in my life - the sheer elegance, the artistry, the trust, the balance, the soul, the spirit, the control, the synergy, the whole of it. Somewhere in there, you could glimpse the transcendent nature of flow, of our species at its best. Beyond spectacular.
Her knowing this might be her last chance for Olympic gold, and him knowing he’s half responsible for that and his own drive to win. Movie plot in the making truly
How what happened? Why is he the reason for that
Yep, she had nothing to lose, gave it her all and was rewarded amazingly!!
@@GodOfFools he made some mistakes in a previous routine that dropped them to 4th. you could read Aljona's lips and see she asked if he messed up the jump (not in this video, but video of the routine he messed up in), so she knew and was pretty upset. So this routine he brought 200% and made it all up to her.

Her life could be a Movie. Five tries at the olympics, many different partners, a change of country and then shortly before her retirement at her last games, her partner messes up the first routine but then... this magical final routine goes perfectly and they get the best score a couple has ever gotten and a well deserved gold medal! I have tears in my eyes!
Lena C she’s not retiring ;) perhaps from the olympics but I don’t think she’s giving up anything.
Cailey Brazee oh yeah I meant from the olympics

Yeah compared to the Russian pair, she didnt had it smooth but came with an extraordinary victory at the end
I just saw the world championships 2024, and not a single couple came even close by a mile to this performance from 6 years ago.
I love how they both just collapse after they’re done. Like Jfc thats over. The amount of control and practice they must’ve gone through to put out such a performance.
Lifetime of practice, yup.
And how many times must he have dropped her before they mastered those jumps and throws..? Ouch!
7 olympics
Why can't I get rid of the feeling that this is one of the most brutal sports on earth? I don't want to know how often they fall really hard and have to get back up again.

@@zanibkhan3549 Christopher Dean choreographed this program for them!
@@Pastadudde seriously? No wonder it was so fluid and beautiful
@@zanibkhan3549 yes! apparently Ms Savchenko specifically sought out Christopher Dean because she wanted the program to have a blend of ice dance and pairs.
Exactly what I thought then. Almost feeling a little guilty for being such an ignorant when this obviously was, as you said, just classy.
It’s the way they synchronize together. Like they control every aspect of each other. Perfect and passionate. Watching move together, flawlessly
Can’t decide if it’s harder to throw someone or get thrown and land it...
If the throw is just right, her muscle memory kicks-in and she makes the landing. If the throw is off, her muscle memory is like "what da fuq is this?' then she ends-up in the hospital.
Merideth V its bot really hard! And you need to have REALLY MUCH trust in your Partner but i think you cant say really say wich is harder (but i would say get thrown and land it) 😂
both
They both take an incredible amount of training etc. but the landing definitely is much more of a risk. You can end your career with one small mistake.
Merideth V lets just say I’m not gonna attempt both
Sidenote: I love how their costumes match the background. Normally you'd wanna stand out, but this worked perfectly imo. They make the arena their backdrop, part of the story.
I love your take on that. I always felt like I was watching two characters in a winter themed story when watching this routine, and the purple backdrop accentuated that theme very well.
These things are not planned. The costumes take time to make and these costumes are from a very popular designer named Lisa McKinnon so the waiting list is long and the costumes are made in good time before the competition. It’s actually just a coincidence that the colors matches so perfectly, but it looks great!
i love their outfits! theyre so pretty 😍
@@P123-t4g i think it was planned, One year before the olympics there was a General try out, and the rink looked the same. She had it at the Nebelhorn trophy: Sep 29, 2017

The Hollywood should literally make a movie about Aljona Savchenko. After being placed 4th in the short program and everybody believed she would never realize her dream, Aljona won gold in her 5th Olympic. Her determination and perseverance are all so empowering to witness through all these years. So so glad she got this gold medal, the most decorated pair skater ever. Now she is the olympic champion, 2x olympic bronze medalists, 6x world champions, 4x European champions, and the most superhuman thing about her is that she NEVER got off the podium since 2006.
In February a German movie about her journey to the Olympics will come out

Did you see him mouth "We did it!" At 6:14? So sweet
i mean.....they probably speak German to each other
Actually, he’s French and she’s originally from the Ukraine. She switched to Germany to skate with her previous partner and then Bruno switched to skate with her when she needed a new partner after the last Olympics. Even though you have to be able to speak German to become a German citizen (which you must do to represent a country in the Olympics), he doesn’t speak it very well so it’s very likely they speak English to each other.

The camerawork to capture this once in a lifetime performance was nothing short of exemplary. @2:53, the camera zooms out to show the height and distance of that breathtaking throw, and then back in as the skaters rejoin.
If you have never seen figure skating live, it's difficult to appreciate just how fast these skaters are moving and how they use every inch of space on the rink. The camera work, from the switching to the framing, is the work of a vastly skilled and prepared crew. The viewers at home truly had the best seat in the house.
Ya I've seen no one here except for you praising the camera work when it deserves all the attention, it perfectly captured everything the viewers needed to see :)
That's why it is really better to watch all live shows at home... You got all the perfect angles of the show... Why waste money on shows such as concerts, opera and the likes when you cannot see all those beautiful scenes that the camera captures! Kudos to the camera crews for making this so satisfying to watch...
