Petr Gumenik of Russia skated an excellent free program to come up from fourth to win the gold medal. Tomoki Hiwatashi of the US skated strongly to finish in second, and Adam Siao Him Fa of France also skated strongly to win the bronze.

It's the first medal on the JGP in any discipline in six years, and first medal for the French men since Florent Amodio in 2008 - ten years.

Stephen Gogolev of Canada finished in fifth, and has an outside shot of qualifying for the Final. Only time will tell.

Hello! Since you’ve been following VM for a longer time, do you have any suggestions or playlists of their performances? I would love to see their evolution from young kids to successful olympians. Also, it would be nice if they did a documentary about them.

Hello! I also would love to see a documentary about their whole journey. That being said the CBC Roxanne documetary did a good job at capturing their prep for the 2017/18 season. There is also the tv show, but you have to take that whole thing with a grain of salt, a critical eye and a sense of humour.

As for recommendations, there are some links below the cut and for the 2014 onwards ones if you google it you'll find the best one available in your region. Depending on how much time you have, watching all these videos can easily kill a whole day. I would recommend watching at least one of each program and if you want a masterclass in pattern dances watch their CDs. If that's too much then here are my recommendations for hitting the best points of their competitive carrer with bolds being the ones you absolutely can't miss because the list was still very long:

1998 First competition | 2004 Canadians FD | 2005 Nationals FD | 2005 Junior Worlds Ex or 2006 Nationals Ex | 2006 Junior Worlds FD | 2007 Worlds OD | 2007 Worlds FD | 2008 Nationals FD | 2008 Worlds FD | 2009 Worlds FD | 2009 TEB Ex | 2010 Olympics CD | 2010 Olympics OD | 2010 Olympics FD | 2010 Olympics Ex | 2010 Worlds CD | 2011 Worlds SD | 2011 Worlds FD | 2012 Worlds SD | 2012 Worlds FD | 2012 Skate Canada FD | 2013 4CC SD | 2013 Worlds FD | 2014 GPF FD | 2014 Olympics SD | 2014 Olympics FD | 2014 Olympics Ex | 2016 Skate Canada RD | 2016 NHK FD | 2016 GPF RD | 2016 GPF FD | 2017 Nationals RD | 2017 Nationals FD | 2017 4CC FD | 2017 Worlds RD | 2017 Worlds FD | 2017 Skate Canada RD | 2017 GPF FD | 2018 Nationals RD | 2018 Nationals FD | 2018 Olympics RD | 2018 Olympics Team FD | 2018 Olympics RD | 2018 Olympics FD | 2018 Olympics Ex

Thankfully, the lovely @ohyeahvirtuemoirgifs made this amazing masterpost of all of Tessa and Scott's programs from 2003-2014. I did a quick check and all the links I tested still work! The quality for some of the older ones the quality is not great but the CBC recently uploaded their 2007 Worlds FD and 2008 Worlds FD in higher quality.

To add some content from pre-2003 that is not on that masterpost:

1998 - Their first competition ever

2000 - Ilderton skating show

2001 - Ilderton skating show (Grease (both), Tessa, Scott, Bows) and Pre-Novice National Championships

2002ish - Demonstrating a Pattern

2003 - JGP Slovakia OD, FD

If you want to watch through the evolution of Moulin Rouge I also found this post I made with links to all it's outings:

Post-2014 in the professional circuit they did so many shows and there are so many videos I can't link them all there but if you want to search them here are the program names (and the show if they're specific to a certain tour):

2014 - Top Hat and Tails, Into the Mystic, Try (Stars on Ice Canada)

2015 - How Will I Know, Good Kisser, Hip Hip Chin Chin (Stars on Ice Canada)

2016 - What's Love Got To Do With It, Sorry

2017 - Purple Rain

2018 - Long Time Running, Moulin Rouge, Shape of You (Stars on Ice Canada), Fields of Gold (Stars on Ice Canada), You Rock My World

There is also the 2018 Thank You Canada Tour and the 2019 Rock The RInk Tour which they produced and are worth watching in full!

Marina Piredda FS to a music selection from “Pina” at JGP Canada 2018, she scored 81.66 in the FS and 121.77 total finishing in 13th place (protocols).

[figureskatingfanblog]

Tomoki Hiwatashi leads after the short program, looking to make it three in a row for the US men. Yuma Kageyama of Japan is in second, and Ilia Kolver of Canada is in third.

Young star Stephen Gogolev of Canada is in seventh at the moment, but still well within reach of the podium with his three quad free skate.

I would love to hear your opinion on Charlie's teams and how you think they'll do going forward. He's already got huge fed support so things look promising.

There's a podcast where Charlie talks about being a big believer in higher education, and there have been hints that MIDA's curriculum is a little different - they've had classes in History of Figure Skating and nutrition. His students have said he takes time to talk to them about philosophy and skating and making sure that what they do to achieve what they want is sustainable. MIDA has 4 teams competing internationally this season so far. The 3 teams besides W/C switched from WISA in Maryland/Virginia where Greg Zuerlein coached for a time before he went back to Michigan:

Katerina Wolfkostin/Jeffrey Chen: 17/20 yo They've been skating together since 2019 and were 2021 US Jr Champions. She was US intermediate and novice champ with her previous partner, went to a JGP with him, then split and teamed with Jeffrey. Jeffrey had several different partners, including Layla Karnes, who's been training solo at IAM.O. His older sister is Karen Chen. He moved to Novi to team with Katerina and train with Igor. They competed at senior US Nats earlier this year and came in 6th, were 4th at Junior Worlds, then moved to MIDA They skate with attack and good unison. For a dance team, they've fallen or make major errors a LOT, but they're young and have a lot of potential and good basics. They were favored at Jr Worlds last season but fell in the RD and came back from 11th all the way to 4th. The way they throw themselves into programs with high energy (which sometimes tips over into loss of control) is a bit like younger Charlie himself. I really like their FD even if it wasn't quite cooked in their first 2 competitions- they fixed some of the timing issues by Budapest Trophy, where they won bronze. But then had a big issue with their rotational lift at GP France, so developing consistency has to be a major focus for them

Molly Cesanek/Yehor Yehorov: 21/23 yo Yehor is from Ukraine and represented them on the JGP circuit with 2 previous partners from 2014-17. He then teamed with Molly in 2018 and was released by Ukraine to compete internationally for the US in 2019. Molly is from Virginia, competed in the US with 3 partners before teaming with Yehor. They trained in Maryland and Virginia with Alexei Kiliakov and Elena Novak before moving to MIDA earlier this year. They were 4th at US Jr Nats in 2020 and 10th at senior US Nats this year. This season so far they've placed 10th at Nebelhorn, 9th at Skate Canada, and 5th at Ice Challenge. There's no question they feel the music, but they needed guidance refining their presentation - their facial expressions and arms were ott and distracting from the big picture. Choreo that had him doing the Worm didn't help. His flexibility isn't great, especially his back, so there can be a lack of suppleness in their movement Good news is, MIDA seems to be reining in some of the emoting, or giving them programs that are as dramatic. Their new FD has big, sweeping music, and they look a little sharper already. Their packaging is sleeker, and i like these programs a lot better than their previous material, especially the FD. Molly had emergency surgery for appendicitis in July so had to delay the start of their season, but the coaching change looks promising for them
