A little Throwback Thursday™ to the 2019 Four Continents ice dance podium. Everyone was surprised and delighted to be there and looks like they're accidentally celebrating Hubbell & Donohue's invalidated lift score. This is among my favourites from all the gifs I've ever made! It's also the first one that went really wide on T*itter and made me the fs gif-maker I am today. Thanks accidental podium cinema!

Highly doubt he will be named Morgan Frederick Reilly, Jr. I know it won’t be but I’m hoping for Matthew. Maybe Morgan’s dad’s name as a middle name. Ryan and Blake’s fourth is allegedly named Obi. No idea if they had a boy or girl. What is wrong with people?

i heard obi is a girl. tessa doesnt seem like a “mainstream name” gal to moi. matthew is too boring. mathieu on the other hand…..

Updated 100 Memorable Skating Programs

Back in 2018, I created the original version of this list. (You can find the master post here.) Since 2024 marks my 30th year as an official fan of figure skating and there have been some more great programs created since the last time, I thought it was about time to update the list in honor of World Ice Skating Day. Same rules apply as last time:

Only senior competitive programs starting from the 1993-1994 season are eligible, since that's the first season I really started watching figure skating.

Each skater may only be listed once, unless a partner/discipline switch is involved.

Choice of music may also not be repeated. (Yes, there are two James Bond programs on the list, but Yuna and Wakaba use different music for the most part, so I'm letting it slide.)

I debated long and hard about whether or not I should still include programs from skaters who have proven themselves to be not so great people. I'm someone who has little difficulty separating the art from the artist, so in the end, I decided to keep them listed (although most of them got knocked down a few pegs). This list is more about the choreography than the skater anyway, although there are certainly some problematic choreographers out there, too. (Looking at you especially, Morozov!) So, just because a skater is listed doesn't mean that I'm a fan of them or that I condone their actions! I just think certain programs are still great regardless of the skaters' terrible behavior off the ice.

Choreographers are noted if known. If you know who choreographed the programs without a choreographer named, please let me know!

I've also created a handy playlist on YouTube if you don't want to click on all these links.

“It’s definitely a bit of a rollercoaster. It’s a tour definitely mixed with some reflection of previous tours and how I remember it,” the 33-year-old Chan says on a day off from Toronto, before the SOI cast headed off to Regina for a show on Thursday night. “I saw Scott (Moir) in London, he came to the show … just hugging him and talking with him, I got really emotional for some reason. It brought back a flood of memories of what it was like touring with Scott and what that meant to me. And the memories we made and the things I learned, the stupid things we did … just everything came rushing back. “We went through the juniors together and all the way to the top. I have moments like that where I just reflect and reminisce a lot on how things used to be. But at the same time, I miss my family, I miss my wife (former pairs skater Elizabeth Putnam), I miss (his son) Oliver a lot … I think I’m stepping away at the right time, considering where I am in my life and how hard being away from my son for four weeks has been already. I knew it was never going to be easy; these types of decisions are always tough.” [...] “You know, this cast has changed a lot. It’s been a changing of the guard. I’m the only one left from back when Scott and Tessa were doing tours, and Eric (Redford) and Meagan (Duhamel) … I’m really the only one left. I do feel that. It is a pretty stark reminder every show,” he said. “It’s not such the case now, because everyone is still competing and everyone is younger. I connect the best with Deanna (Stellato-Dudek, the ageless 40-year-old who just won a World pairs title with Maxime Deschamps), actually, because I can just relate to her — we’re in similar places in our lives, and share a similar perspective.” [...] “It taught me the hard work, the dedication, putting your mind to something and finishing it and all that. Most importantly, it taught me how to be a professional, how to carry myself and hold myself to a certain standard. Being around other champions from multiple generations —you’re talking Elvis (Stojko), Kurt, also Scott and Tessa —they were all such successful individuals, but also different,” he said. “But at the end of the day, when it comes to being professional and showing up and doing your job correctly, we held ourselves to that standard. And then being a good person. Knowing when to have fun, when to be serious. And also, how to get through the struggles, how to figure things out when things aren’t clicking at 100 per cent. [...] “I didn’t get to go to university, I didn’t have that key development time (in my life). Scott was my guy, and all these other cast members. Andrew Poje and Eric Radford … all these skaters were more than just my teammates, they were my life and my social circle. It does feel like it’s all coming to an end and it’s weird that Stars is kind of marking that last chapter.” [...] “For me, Halifax always stands out. I always have really fond memories of Halifax, because it would be the end of the season, the weather was changing, and I’d sit by the harbour in Halifax and reflect on the season. And then I’d get really excited about seeing my friends and developing a show together,” he said. “Spending hours together on the ice, but also goofing around and finding that good balance of work and fun. Halifax was just such a great city to start in. And there were the bus rides and traditions that I try to keep going and pass onto the next generation, but I’m finding it harder to (do that). I’m not Scott. I realized that pretty quick.”

VM show: ep 4

Skate Canada OD:

they give lip service to the idea that Weapo are their competition here, but from VM's reaction after their skate, they 110% expected to beat them lol

the way they use their upper bodies is to die for, they're just so beautiful. and the footwork for this is so detailed and fast, with their knee bends matching so closely. they're so elegant

i was pleasantly surprised by Weapo - maybe after watching teams skate less and less in hold, it's like being watered and fed watching the older style. but they got their levels and look better than i remember. the Shae-Lynn-ness of this program - it has clever choreo, and faux tap fits with the quickstep. idk what's up with Andrew's arms - his posture's upright but there's something (too) casual about the way he uses them. in +/-3 GOE system, are scores closer? it's kind of fun to go back and see teams progress

rubicon program references

due to the slow death of twitter i'm collecting my program links here. (almost) none of the rubicon skates are meant to be identical to real life programs, but some of the inspiration is pretty one-to-one… and some is a little less direct.

Day 7: Group Exhibition/Tour No.

(I will be cheating for this prompt and selecting two, because only one of them is each program).

Part 1: ‘Waiting For My Real Life To Begin’ - SOI 2012 x

Something that is a common factor in both this performance and the one I am analysing for T, is how much you are drawn to them on the basis of the way they use their eyes, and how convey emotion that is truly palpable to the audience, AND that they draw you too them no matter who/how many others they skating with.

In this performance there a 4 guys- Scott, Andrew Poje, Jeremy Abbott (from the US) and Jeff Buttle who also choreographed it, and who I would say along with Scott, are the two most compelling performers in this- the ones you are drawn too for their emotion and movement (but I would say Jeff doesn’t have the posture that Scott does).

Now, it is one thing watching on a screen through edited camera shots, and watching live- obviously it is easier to read emotions the closer you are, but this only further backs up the point, where you see close up shots of Scott (and Jeff) and the others, who is emoting and who understands there are people sitting very far away and at odd angles- you have to perform to the back of the arena and to every person.. (btw I have not counted.. but there are a significant number of close ups of scott- I don’t think there is as many of the others, and the ones of scott are truly beautiful..)

So this program (pretty obviously) is about 4 young men individually pondering about their lives, each contemplating different things, but are all essentially mirrors of each other. The lights I feels symbolise their inner.. thoughts/demons/hopes and dreams making themselves known to them and they having to confront them.. the song is more optimistic then that so I don’t mean to say it’s is all sad and deep.. but they the idea is these men contemplating their lives- they are in adulthood and are wondering where they want their lives to go.

It is no secret Scott is one of the most incredible actors ever on ice (and together with T.. some of the most believable actors ever considering what they had the world convinced of) and I think it’s beautiful here to see him on his ‘own’ (not partnering T), that he can be so expressive and vulnerable without his soulmate to share that with - although no doubt he enjoys it so much more with her.

He by far more then any of the others in this dance, expresses an array of emotions so honestly and vulnerably. I love how he looks right into the light, like he lets it wash over him. He’s not being over-expressive, it’s as if he is really confronting the emotions the dance is about feeling- he is such a feeler and you so often feel that so honesty when he performs.

Here too the emotions in his eyes, his mouth, his body.

Scott has the first solo in this piece (both he and Jeff have solos). This would be so strange for both him and Tessa to dance alone.. that he has such command of the space, reaching out with his performance but feeling every internal emotion- that’s really how I would describe TS in general; the emotions and feelings they experience are very internal and intimate between them but they share those feelings through their movement & performance for the whole audience.

(All this movement below is much more beautiful to watch with the music so please go watch it after reading this). He doesn’t try to move like anyone else, he just moves the way he feels- as T says he has such an innate sense of musicality- he lets that and his emotions guide the way he moves and that’s beautiful:

This (below) is maybe my favourite moment (specifically as a close up shot) in the whole thing: they all skate seemingly in a circle then move into pairs and begin partnering.

(Getting slightly off topic here for a moment) There’s those I’ll-informed, ignorant people out there who think they (TS, some skaters in general but TS in this conversation) are fully aware of where the cameras and play to them on purpose, deliberate create a fake narrative, do things specifically for the cameras for superficial purposes (eg the hug™️) which is not only wrong but one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard, and I feel the same dumb argument has been made for when they skate-they know the cameras are on them specifically- that would be the last thing TS are worried about- not to mention in a case like this where it is not a live broadcast, there are multiple camera angles and editors will go in later and choose the shots for the master broadcast.. all this is to say.. he is not ‘putting on faces/emotion’ for the cameras. That ignorant thinking is a slap in the face to his profession the incredible, dedicated, once in a generation talent that Scott (and Tessa, and many skaters who work hard and love their craft) is. He is performing for himself, the men he is skating with, and for every person in that audience. He is beautiful and his artistry it to be admired:

His face here is incredible, is too his posture, hands etc.. (I love it so much I’ve gifed it twice!)

He doesn’t have ‘dead eyes’ when he skates.. this may be more commonly known as ‘deer in head lights’ but what I mean by the dead eyes bit is there is life, thoughts, emotions behind them that isn’t being suppressed by the stage lights, crowd, nerves or just lack of performance.. it’s not the same as ‘deer in head lights where you just looked stunned, Scott uses his eyes to connect with his surroundings- when it’s with Tessa its communicating with her through his eyes. I don’t want to call it out through gif form but if you go watch this video there’s a moment in the video of one of the other guys where this difference (between Scott and them) is quite clear- the difference with the life in their eyes.

I adore how as he gets closer to partnering his eyes get more intense- it’s as if he’s facing off with himself.. that’s the best way I can explain it but it’s just that moment not only with his eyes but his breath and posture and energy, I LOVE how he uses his breathe when he dances, like it’s actually part of his movement and emotion. It’s all so stunning and very emotional and I just love watching him so much. His performance is no less captivating just because he isn’t with Tessa here which goes to show he in himself is so talented and loves what he does so much but together they have something that truly sets their hearts on fire and it’s why they only ever ice danced with each other.

And finally this close up moment here:

🥺😣😭😔.. there’s moments when TS dance, they way they emote they use their whole bodies, their whole faces, their whole beings. They emote very similarly in this way. There’s moments through close up images sometimes where it looks like they are crying, or screaming- usually with their foreheads pressed to each other- and most of the time in those moments that’s not actually what they are doing, but they emoting so much and feeling each other so much, almost yearning for each other even though they are right there as close as they could possibly be. I feel that in this moment here even though he is on his own. The yearning, the way he looks up to light, feels the emotions with his whole body, it’s so beautiful.

I’ve always wanted to pour all my love out for this beautiful performance he gives (and to Jeff as well it is a stunning piece overall). I don’t think I’ve done it complete justice here with this analysis so please go watch it over and over and feel all the emotion and cry into a pillow about this beautiful vulnerable artist doing what he loves and was born to do.
