What a beautiful comment, honestly one of the best I’ve read in all my years on TH-cam.

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.
There’s a book called from lukov with love with this plot

I have never in my life been so proud of two complete strangers.
Seeing his relief after they finished still makes me cry even more then the breathtaking choreography.
She is an absolute queen and star of her art!
So is he. But it's clear how nervous he must have been, how thankful he is to her, how proud she is of him and how much this means to him.
Everything technical and even their incredible skill aside: Seeing this personal connection and reaction is so touching to me.
You both did great! I am so proud of you!
I literally got shivers all over my body. No doubt that she's the queen of her art. But Bruno was the one in the zone, completely in the moment, in a state of ecstasy overwhelming with emotions. He is the one that elevated her to the next level with his incredible strength and fluidity. I think she's the one that's grateful.
@@gskyle4822 I'm sure the gratefulness goes both way. They were a perfect team for this wonderful performance 😊
@@schattentaenzerin true👍
@@gskyle4822 he's actually the youngin here with less experience. He had a career ahead of him still and this was Aljona's last olympic to achieve a gold medal. I think it's safe to say he's the one that the pressure is on for!

I can’t believe people can actually do this, it’s so beautiful
Marthe S omg right??? I’m here fainting out trying to spin 3 full turns ahhahap
Nina Guerra I tried a 3sal and thought I was going to die.

It's just ice, ice baby
IKR! It’s incredible!😱😍❤️
They dont respect gravity...
Gravity respects them.
👍Gravity is in awe before them.
Sounds like a Chuck Norris fact : )
4 years ago, and I STILL remember this. It was the most beautiful performance I have ever seen!
If you could have waited 15 days with your comment... You could have said 5 years, sorry for the remarck, but i'm an ice-figure skating junkie, 🙂🫶
Same here watched it every year since release at least once❤❤

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.
I'm agree
Sameeee
Yes ❤
Me too ❤
Imagine how proud they are of each other and themselves
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.
Sarah Ice I’m crying so hard 😭😭😭😭😭
They were crying
When the music stopped they knew, they knew they nailed it. U can tell just by looking at their face how proud they are of the performance
@@vivieneisler7687 oh my Goodness, im crying. Such a proud moment for her. Kudos to both of them, they deserved it.
Jesus Christ he really just threw her into the stratosphere
Stratosphere, more like the black whole, poor girl, gravity must really hate her
Yes Praise Lord Jesus!!!!! Amen !!!!!
That must have taken years of practise. It was so effortless and graceful

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.
Absolutely. Goosebumps on every viewing!
@@Olympics can you please upload the full competition? I miss it.

Yes! ❤
This is where you have to admit that you lost not because you weren't good enough but because they were too good
They didn't lose the won gold medal
The Chinese pair and the Russian pair both had bad falls in their long programs.
Love that thought
@@jennbrandon8182 you didn't understand her comment. dude don't be low IQ!
AllAboutMe R true

This is a mood
me too. this Olympics especially was something special to me
Me too 😂 will 247am
I feel you
Me reading this comment and realising its 2:40AM, I say close enough
It is a performance for the books. If there is an Olympic Hall of Fame, Aliona should be one of the first inductees, and not just for her gold medal. She is an Olympic legend.
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. ❤
You gotta have a lot of trust in your partner if u gonna let them yeet you across solid ice like that
Yeet you across solid ice! Tbh best way I've ever heard that move described
Brenda Rodriguez “yeet”😂😂
Lmaoo true
Lmao that's a good word for it
Lazarbeam? Hahahaha
Everyone talking about how he threw her effortlessly but nobody is talking about the way she lands perfectly. Every. Goddamn. Time.
Ikrr!!
Yea true that. You gotta give it to her for landing like that. Takes amazing talent
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
I have no words for this. It wasn t just figure skating at Olympics ,it was the purest form of art
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. 💞👏🥇
He throws her so easily. My soul would've left my body if someone threw me like that and expected me to land. 😂
LMAO
U r not alone bruh... :'))
CeeJ I wouldn’t have even landed without the ice skates...
All of your comments make me laugh louder.😁
I don't think anyone can actually be strong enough to yeet me like that 😅
I love how they just literally lay down on the ice afterwards.
I'm not completely sure but i think laying down on the ice completely flat is a banned move. Even though i think it adds to a dramatic effect.
@@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
@@morfos95 oh yeah i did hear that!
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.
Я русская, болела понятно за своих - но в тот момент рыдала вместе с Аленой. Абсолютно заслуженная победа и чистейшее олимпийское золото!

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.
Best routine EVER, seamless, flawless, exquisitively choreographed. Hypnotic music, sheer perfection. Absolutely mind-blowing! This is exactly what pair skating is all about. Just try to figure out what it must have meant to Aliona... Never have I been so proud of two complete strangers!
omg I have never cried watching couples skates this was absolutely breath taken WOW
Yeah and you saying that means you didn’t cry watching this either as you wrote this either during and after watching the video
This is still the most unreal routine I've ever watched. I come back all the time.
Me too. I have watched this maybe 20 times already. It's immortal beauty and elegance compressed in a few moments.
have you seen Torvill and Dean's Bolero
@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 Well.... one of the choreographers of this routine was Chris Dean
Me too
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. ^^
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
Will always remember this … my wife and I were there to watch it live, and this performance was incomparable. I had no idea it was a world record score till watching it just now! Feel very honored to have been there to see it.
Honestly, I come back to this performance every couple of months, it truly never ceases to amaze
Am I the only one obsessed with this video? Like I've been rewatching this for the past year
I'm obsessed as well with this video !!
I also come here to watch it again every now and then
nope. Whenever I crave something beautiful, I come back to this video. It was breathtaking the first time I saw it and is still perfect the 30th time.
Me too. I keep coming back to it, to remind myself of the beauty in this world. The most amazing and beautiful ice skating I have ever seen.
get married
I'm so mesmerized with the physics behind this, can't believe people could actually do this.
Exactly!
Hard work and dedication. You could have done it too if you put in the hours.
@@abdullahbhinder9023 the years, from the age of 5 they are on the ice.
@@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.
@@abdullahbhinder9023 consistante and dedication
What is so amazing about this program is that the front part of the program is loaded with the risk elements. They did all their hard stuff by 1:45 but still had the rest of the program to sell, and sell they did. Brilliant choreography and element placement to the crescendos of the music. In my opinion the greatest Olympic pairs freeskate of all time.
Nah those triple jumps were always a problem for them all season
@nathaniel Yes! Agree. Greatest Olympic pairs freeskate performance of all time. ❤
I have NEVER seen a more marvelous pair of skaters. And he honors her at the end, just before they leave the ice. With that kind of love, their future is assured!
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
Lisa McKinnon, the designer, is a genius! She designed many costumes at this Olympics!
Agreed. And purple is my favorite color

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!
Their size difference makes their synchronisation so much more impressive
Yes. And the trust.
Makes it much easier also.. he's not rag dollin around a chick that's 5'7 weighing a buck 35. 😏
I was just thinking the same
@@rrpearsall
He sais "synchronism"
Not acrobatics
This was a fantastic performance 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏
It’s the way they synchronize together. Like they control every aspect of each other. Perfect and passionate. Watching move together, flawlessly
He dances beautifully!! Im so amazed! His strength, poise, grace, stunning. And the judges in the back dancing with them

It’s underrated how dangerous this sport can be.
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.
Don't you see how they're doing it flawlessly ?
@@Unknown-qy3dx but... they weren’t always flawless.

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.
Es wird immer jemand geben der höher, schneller und weiter springt aber niemals wieder wird mich eine Kür so berühren wie diese. Einfach Perfektion!
Goodness me this was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. How is this even humanly possible? All this emotion and dedication and soul and of course their physical abilities. This was the perfect performance. Pace, tempo, skills, music, but most of all elegant dancing and the emotion. Just so so so beautiful. Two beautiful souls expressing themselves to the world in the most magical way. Thank you.
To be honest it looks heavenly
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".

And then you'd wake up and see that you've fallen from your bed
Ghorl im wheeeezing!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
This is so moving, I love it. Their performance made me fall in love with ice skating.
I love the moment when he said to her - "we did it". This program was fabulous!
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!!!
it’s unhealthy how many times I’ve watched this
I disagree - watching this can never do you anything but good!
Me too!
I've only watched it about 35 times. I figure by the time I get to 500 it might...MIGHT...feel like it's enough.
I've literally watched it almost everyday for the past year lol, as well as a lot in 2018.
i remember watching this live
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...
These performances in 2018 were incredible
Then and now!!!
this woman.
her fifth Olympics.
she deserved this gold medal like no one else.
You mean two gold
@@saurabh3847 roserty
Yes. I worked with her a lot she’s just amazing!
She sure did deserve it! When I saw this 3 years ago we cried I was so happy for them…for her especially!
Yes
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.
My most favorite performance of all time! Absolutely incredible. I tear up every time I watch it.
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.
The amount of times I've watched this performance is unhealthy

The fact that their outfit match with the venue color was beautiful 💜💙
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
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.
This is my favourite program in pairs ever! Just breathtaking 🎇💐😊❤️
При всей моей любви к нашим спортсменам, это моё любимое выступление в истории парного катания! Какая лёгкость, артистизм и самые красивые поддержки! И если я не ошибаюсь это была 4-я олимпиада для Алёны! Она всю жизнь шла к своей цели! И победила! Татьяна Тарасова когда встретила Алёну после этого выступления рыдала. Вы когда нибудь видели чтобы она плакала?
А какие они красивые! Это не просто химия, а отношения мужчины и женщины парящих в космосе!
Пересматриваю как минимум раз в год и заряжаюсь их космической энергией!
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.
They didn't deserve the Gold medal, the Gold medal deserves them.
😘😘
they had us in the first half not gonna lie
His strength, and grace, are incredible!
I come back to watch this every few months. The beauty of this performance is unmatched.

I don’t understand anything of ice skating, but this, this was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my life. Stunning, breathtaking, wow
Eleonora Nisio love the profile pic!
Same

Lmao seems like we harries are suckers for ice skating
Same 😂
Гениально,шедеврально,восхитительно.Золотой фонд фигурного катания эта программа,это катание. Эти двое творили на льду судьбу !
IMMER NOCH DAS SCHÖNSTE WAS ICH IM EISKUNSTLAUF GESEHEN HABE!!! RÜHRT MICH JEDES MAL ERNEUT ZU TRÄNEN!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It‘s criminal that youtube do adds between this performance.
I agree
Just download the vanced TH-cam , you will not get a single ad
imagine not using adblock lmao
Hahahaha one pops up while I'm reading your comment.
I have TH-cam premium 🤷♂️
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!
Is he saying: “Wowwww!” after they dropped to the ice?
Exactly what I was thinking as I watched this!

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?
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 💜
The artistry, the jumps, the technique... This is the best pair I ever watch. Pyeongchang really has some of the best figure skating moments.
How do they not fall in love with each other... this looks so romantic and intense
They are friends and care for and trust each other but they are partners on ice only. Bruno is married and has 2 small children. Aljona is also married with an 18 month old daughter.
Right!! I'm like how do they not make love after *that?*
Cause they're doing their jobs like actors playing a role
I think they actually had a fight right before the performance
Well I did a solo dance with the last person I'd want between whole ballets and we had to "enjoy" it.
wow that was soo beautiful...
and he's just picking her up as if she's paper
probably because she does weigh as much as a paper
@@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.
@@yolishanaidoo3491 It's a joke, any person with 2 brain cells can clearly see how professional and athletic both of them are.
@@serakayle7903 didnt sound like one 🙄, whatever.
He is strong as an ox.
Their opening pose alone shows such artistry. They have the musicality of the best ballet dancers.
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?
Yes.
Thanos will come to pick him up
Sad boy hours
Major ooooof for homeboy XD
Zoe Gonzalez kinky
never been a fan of ice skating, but what they did was just a work of art
Can't beat torvill and Dean to be honest but lovely fluid performance by these 2 from Germany
@@zanibkhan3549 Christopher Dean choreographed this program for them!
@@TiannNChong 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 most beautiful performance I've ever seen in my life, I always look at it again. They glide on the ice, I love Bruno's strength and at the same time the delicacy of his gestures, Aljona is impressive, she floats. They are amazing!!!
❤😍❤ Watching this reminded me of the beauty of Gordeeva and Grinkov skating together. They were always my favourite pairs skaters. Now I have a new favourite! This couple has made me excited about the sport again. Well chosen music also. I just loved this! ❤❤❤
Same with me. I still love G+G, but these two are exceptional too. The costumes were perfect too. Sort of unnoticeble not disturbing the performance. I am so happy for Aliona , she suffered so much with her knees.
I'm just imaging the level of hard word behind this performance...
* words
@@sowasvonlustig2977 it's work
@@the_lilac_artist ;-)
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
