Absolutely breathtaking, Tessa and Scott were born for each other. Even as teenagers, the quality of their skating and their perfect timekeeping made them stand out as future olympians.such beauty , I can't get enough of them!
She's one of the best ice dancers I've ever seen. Her movements are extremely precise, her posture and carriage fabulous and her speed and knee bend are amazing. They were both wonderful. I can't get over the difficulty at this young age. So clear they were rising stars. And you can see the emotional connection they already have.
0:06 Tessa winks at Scott 0:22 Scott winks at Tessa 0:40 a comforting hand squeeze 3:54 a hand kiss and heartfelt hug 5:52 a little hand holding and hand squeeze
See 0:41 - Scott squeezes Tessa's hand before they begin. Amazing how at that young age they already developed non-verbal messages and/or cues to comfort and help each other. Soooo cute and smart! Unfortunate that the judges were age-biased than purely merit-based . Tessa and Scott were definitely the youngest duo (out of 28 duos who competed) and IMO skated at a level beyond their years.
See, it's impossible to start this young as a partnership and not have great chemistry. It's such a blessing for these two, and pairs like D&W who just hit it off from the beginning. Being allowed to grow with each other as skaters and people is how you get the deep, complex relationship that makes their dancing so beautiful now that they have matured as artists. Ahhh, this is amazing to watch. :)
Phenomenal! Their speed, unison, dance holds all excellent. Scott's footwork on the lifts is impeccable. And i think Tessa is incapabable of hitting an ugly position. I can't quite understand why the marks were so low! Ah well, 6 years later the youngest ever ice dancers to win Olympic GOLD!
Their lifts just weren’t as strong and complicated as the other teams at that point. Remember they were about 2 to 6 years younger than most other junior competitors. Plus it was back in the days when you had to put in your time so the marks didn’t always reflect. But yes, they were so good. Everything you said is spot on. And the ease and confidence in which they moved- even a lot of seniors didn’t have this. They skated so upright - not hunched over pumping their backs up and down like other teams. Amazing speed, great musicality even at that age.
translation/paraphrase of some of the announcers' commentary (couldn't catch all of it due to the music and the male announcer being really soft-spoken): they start out saying they're an adorable couple. then some remarks on the costumes suiting them very well. once the program gets going, they talk about how they are performing the difficult looking choreography 'very smoothly'. Towards the end, they say that though they're not doing anything extremely difficult, it's very good for their age/level. Right as it ends they say that it was a very cute and charming performance and that Tessa looked very pretty all the way through which gave a good impression. I couldn't catch everything as they were taking their bows, but the lady says that it was a very lovely performance. The male announcer says that although the steps they were doing while holding hands were not incredibly difficult, they did it very prettily. 'There's a lot to look forward to from this couple in the future.' While they're waiting for their scores they say that they look very satisfied with their performance. (i dont know much about ice skating but i do have a japanese degree, lol)
And now they are three times olympic gold medalist and two times olympic silver medalist. Thé most successful career in olympics in figure skating in any dicipline of all times
0:40 Scott does the hand squeeze before their performance even back then. I saw he did that in a video from their tour in 2019. In interviews they talk about how they hand squeeze or talk to each other before and during their perfomances all the time. 0:215:53
4:43 I think that is one of Scott's older brother that Tessa and Scott hug. Scott Taps Tessa to go first. Maybe that's his older brother Danny was also an ice dancer. His brothers have always been very supportive.
I think it was during this time when Tessa was growing so fast, the parents were worrying she’d outgrow Scott and would have to find another partner for each. Eventually, Scott did catch up and they’re still partners after 21 years. I hope this “unique” partnership would eventually end up in marriage. LOL That is if they’re not yet married. There’s a conspiracy theory that these two are actually married. Fans! 😁
Just from looking at the Junior performances I can tell Tessa would have been without a doubt UNSTOPPABLE and INCOMPARABLE with any other skater if she hadn't developed that compartment syndrome. She's such a magnificent dancer here and even now but I can't even imagine what would have been if she'd continued to develop in this way uninterrupted.
@@LadyZaZaSol - From the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons: Compartment syndrome is a painful condition that occurs when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous levels. This pressure can decrease blood flow, which prevents nourishment and oxygen from reaching nerve and muscle cells. Common Signs and Symptoms: The "5 P's" are oftentimes associated with compartment syndrome: 1. Pain 2. Pallor (pale skin tone) 3. Paresthesia (numbness feeling) 4. Pulselessness (faint pulse) 5. Paralysis (weakness with movements). Numbness, tingling, or pain may be present in the entire lower leg and foot.
Charming, delightful performance. Good elements and jewel-like details. I do wonder why you weren't placed higher and am glad you have been recognized with Olympic gold and other awards. Thanks for giving us so much pleasure!

obviously tessa is a goddess but scott!!?? the grace and emotions he brings! the way he supports tessa, really a driving spirit!

Just one big "awwww" all the way through. Easily one of the most adorable things I've ever seen.
I can’t get over how strong scott has to be to do this? like tbh he’s literally the same size as her but already doing those one legged lifts howww

you can see their chemistry together even way back then ....
I love the way Scott winks at Tessa at 0:21.

It is 2022 and I am seeing these for the first time.
Absolutely gobsmacked at their talent.
I just discovered these two on January 7th, 2024.
Wonderful to find this on 13 March 2024❤
just incredible. The difficulty of their routine is amazing for their age. You can see Tessa's skating style coming through back then.
Phenomenal! Their speed, unison, dance holds all excellent. Scott's footwork on the lifts is impeccable. And i think Tessa is incapabable of hitting an ugly position. I can't quite understand why the marks were so low! Ah well, 6 years later the youngest ever ice dancers to win Olympic GOLD!
D D Jay I thought the marks were too low as well.
14 years later, 2 silver medals and 3 gold medals later, the most decorated Olympic figure skaters in HISTORY.

Scott's my boy! Lol Always brings that charming personality with him on the ice. Good show!

Thank you.
Yaviiniia Q
Thank you !!
Yaviiniia as
Yaviiniia They keep on repeating something that sounds like “so disnair” What does that mean? I hear it like 20 times!
And now they are three times olympic gold medalist and two times olympic silver medalist. Thé most successful career in olympics in figure skating in any dicipline of all times
Scott looks almost the same as now; I would never have recognized Tessa. What amazing talent!!
Such precise steps, wonderful unison and speed at this young age. Hard to believe they placed 11th? SO good.
Scott is SOO CUTE! theyr sooo tiny back then!!!
They've been dancing together for 14 years now I wanna cry this is so adorable
Purva Kale they’ve actually been dancing together for 20 years! They’re so cute
0:40 Scott does the hand squeeze before their performance even back then. I saw he did that in a video from their tour in 2019. In interviews they talk about how they hand squeeze or talk to each other before and during their perfomances all the time. 0:21 5:53
Wow what a beautiful program! And Scott is such a gentleman! ❤
14 years later and they are still absolutely mesmerizing to watch
They are amazing! He is incredibly strong. They are magnificent!!!🏆❤️💖
4:43 I think that is one of Scott's older brother that Tessa and Scott hug. Scott Taps Tessa to go first. Maybe that's his older brother Danny was also an ice dancer. His brothers have always been very supportive.
I can’t believe how they could be this good at 14 and 16! you could tell they were gonna go far❤️❤️❤️
Exceptional, entertaining and full of life!
They were already great!
So cute, Amazing to see them then and now.
Tessa n Scott are the most incredible. Ice skating couples ever!
Fourteen years later, it's amazing to see how far they've come from this!
That lift at 1:48 though! They were 14/16 here.....
omg scottttt, he loooks soooooo young, so cute ^^
they got ONLY the 11th place in that event: that's really absurd!
gimichi the marks were way too low. I'd be curious to see the routine by the winners so I could personally compare.
They were meant to be Gold Olympians. Just pure perfection!
Easily the best Canadian ice dancers! Thank you Scott and Tessa for making Canada proud.
Let us cut to the bottom line, for the sake of humanity, these two must stay together and mate.
LOL
They met as little kids. I doubt the sexual chemistry is there.
oh my..that was the first time i saw them. Now they are all grown up, Olympics Champions..wow!
an again Olympic Champions 2018
The music is "Midnight in Moscow," podmoskovniya vyerchera.
I think it was during this time when Tessa was growing so fast, the parents were worrying she’d outgrow Scott and would have to find another partner for each.

You can hear the adoration in the commentators’ voices
the way he clasps her fingers at the beginning, cuuute
Awwww my heart melted
