[Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir]

Careful. Other figure skaters have long suspected that Virtue and Moir are either minor demons or have sold their souls to hell for sweet swizzle skills. Their musical selection for the short program has all but confirmed it.

Do you happen to have a link to their short program?

Warning...

That link leads to a video that NEVER FUCKING STOPS running big, annoying banners begging you to like and subscribe to the channel.

If a banner ad makes you Hulk out

It's basically this program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCVxakYhD-Q

I think they did it better at the Olympics, but this one has Canadian accents.

I didn't follow any of this but it was so omnipresent that my visiting 65 year old uncle, who's solidly anti-establishment and doesn't have a phone, a computer, or cable, was excitedly telling me about their chemistry based on the routines he saw on the TV in his hotel room!!!!!

It's unsettling because I actually read and ship RPF and it feels like I'm watching media professionals violating fandom etiquette

Lmao. I feel like the only person who has watched all seven episodes of their (hilarious) reality TV show. They have negative chemistry off ice.

Pairs figure skating and ice dancing have a strong element of acting in them, and always have. Romances between partners aren't unheard of, but most of the time... they're acting. Because a messy romance would really screw up their professional lives.

I'm actually surprised that it doesn't happen more. Ice dance in particular is so insular and people don't seem to date outside the rink.

(Anonymous) 2018-03-04 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
A lot of pairs start skating together when they're still children. I'd guess that, coupled with being required to spend so much time together, would make dating your partner feel a little incestuous.

(Anonymous) 2018-03-04 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Some are actual siblings, and then I'm sure in some cases there's an issue of incompatible sexual orientation.

(Anonymous) 2018-03-04 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt

I can't speak to the rest of the world, but pairs in the U.S. mostly don't start training together until they are teens. Ice dance is usually earlier. (Of course, it's not always the case that you stay with the same partner you started dancing with.)

(Anonymous) 2018-03-04 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we were talking about ice dancing pairs originally. So, for example, Virtue and Moir were paired when he was 10 and she was 8. In the US, most pair skaters start out in individuals, so they are older when they move to pairs. Probably not coincidentally, dating and marriage are a lot more common in pairs than in ice dancing. For example, the US pair that went to Pyeongchang are a married couple, and dating (and breaking up) is rampant among the ranks. I think Canada is probably similar. Not sure about Europe -- I think a couple of countries had married ice dancer couples.

Eh, Virtue and Moir are kind of unique for being together for 20+ years (despite the best efforts of Skate Canada). Ice dance partners now move around as much as pairs do. Just using the U.S. Olympians as examples: the Shibutanis are siblings, but the other two ice dance couples have dated. Madison Chock and Evan Bates are currently a couple (started skating together when they were ~19 And 21). Madison Hubbell skated with her brother until she was 20, then partnered with Zachary Donahue (also 20 at the time). They dated, broke up, and are currently sharing a house and dating the Spain dance team that they also train with.

(Sorry to get all wordy on you, but I wasn't kidding about ice dance being insular.)
