Vincent Zhou USA Bronze Medalist does full routine majestically to SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK at the World Championships in Japan. He won the Bronze, congrats brother!!!! we cried.
1:36 There's probably some other very difficult moves but THIS is definitely difficult. I do Wushu and this is identical to one of the kicks and I still haven't mastered it
I did teakwando for a while. I learned something like this. And in freerunning its also a thing. I think its called butyerfly kick. But ocerly dramatic. I practise it. But holy shit, you one need to be flexible, and confident, and 2 fucking balanced on your knees. One wrong move and land wron... knees will be no more...
Imagine being a good ice skater and getting really angry or upset so you go to a skating rink late at night, turn the music up as loud as you can and just start dancing like this.
" as he's being carried by his emotions, he dances like he is the only person alive, like nobody there understands him, only the ice to console the poor soul." im never writing fanfiction in my life ever again 😁👍
I'm usually not a big fan of ice skating (terrified of doing it myself cus I almost lost a finger when skating once lmao) but THIS. I'm literally tearing up looking at this, the performance and song are perfect.. I get such an immense amount of peace watching this.. doesnt help that I'm a huge sucker for joji too lmao, slow dancing in the dark is one of my favorite Joji song and this guy really fucking nailed his performance

And the best part. Those are moves that are pretty basic in figure skating. If you are a little flexible in the knees, you can do that sideways thing , and its honestly so cool.
I swear I would give my last penny to be where he is and perform this song. He's spectacular. I feel so emotional watching the performance cause I would be more than delighted to dance this song on ice.
@Nush Nush I’m an army myself but this seriously has to stop, if s/he has a photo of jungkook s/he’s obviously an army. Why do you need her/him to confirm it?
I think he had a point deduction for it though because he's meant to complete the whole performance on skates, so he would have a deduction for performing it in competition. But it's so beautiful, it's a shame they'd give him a deduction for it 😭
It's probably been done before the show. They move the light manualy while recording the movements of the lights. That way, they can just push a "play" button kinda like thingy to let the lights follow him. (Ps. Sorry for my bad explanation, English is not my first language)
it felt as if you're in love, not just with a person, it could be with music, places, things or maybe just the environment, the weather, when the wind blows slowly, the breeze..
There's something dreamy and special about this, it's absolutely beautiful, the lighting, the assertive outfit, the smooth ice skating, the absolutely calm music, reminds me a bit of my depressed times and how far I've got from it, made me a bit emotional it's very touching
This is,,,, a gala....... It's not the actual competition plus most of his jumps are most loops/lutz which may be lower compared to other jumps if this was in a real comp! The winner of the actual competition is Yuzuru Hanyu! Search him up if you are interested 😊 but Vincent did great too!
Falling for this Joji song all over again because of Vincent's performance. So expressive, so heartfelt..gosh i didn't really mind that he missed a timing. I just didn't want his performance to end😍
@@konoszy1993 ye he totally choose Slow Dancing in the Dark because the same guy used to make videos about eating vomit cake. Get the fuck out mate, we're tired of the FF memes. That era is over, let it rest. All that is left is Joji
When i lie in my bed and listen to music like this, i close my eyes and try to imagine I'm dancing or even dancing with someone or just flying somewhere beautiful, and watching this video kind of visualises what i try to imagine myself doing while i close my eyes, this man did such a beautiful job, he described the music through movements so well ❤️🥺
This is one of my 3 (specific I know) favourite songs and this is exactly how I feel when I listen to it, such a talent. Thanks for this, it cheered me up I guess!

He looks like he just came back from a sad date and went straight to an ice skating competition. Edit: thank u guys for likes, I think I will put this comment in my job resume as one of “lifetime accomplishments”
I feel like this dude didnt even want the gold medal and just did this to do what he loves Edit: it's amazing how friendly people are in this video comment box:)
That is very true! This was actually his performance for something called a gala which occurs after the competition (this was at the 2019 world championship) so he didn’t compete with this program! Moreover, the galas are usually my favorite part of the event because it’s more expressive and theatrical! They’re allowed to have props, more diverse concepts, backflips!(Which are prohibited in the competition) and of course spotlights that makes it oh so much more dramatic and fun ;D
Yeah as MaximeMilianMus said, you guys are kind of exaggerating the whole thing. He literally just wrapped his arms around himself, like what’s so special?
awagame this wasn’t the routine he competed with! I read in another comment that this is for the gala after the competition so that’s why it was less ‘technical’ and more expressive.
I don’t think there’s a better way to express this song
