Indulge my ice skating obsession for just a moment more! This 2008 clip of Virtue & Moir skating to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
P.S. Performed in this costume, it's also stunning (I think I like the performance a bit more too).


















Wow! That was amazing. I loved their program too! But, I also loved the Americans that won silver. They were quite amazing as well.

Skating to that music is almost like cheating, makes me tear up even if my eyes are closed!

They seem to have impeccable taste - music, costumes, the whole shebang.

Aren't they the most beautiful couple? So elegant and graceful - and unfortunatley unlike so many of their competitors. Both this routine and last night's routine were amazingly beautiful.

Wow, that is so romantic and beautiful. I'm in awe.

so good! they certainly have excellent taste in costumes (which sometimes seems a bit rare with skaters) and music!

oh wow - so gorgeous. Elegance personified! Those aerial shots were incredible. Reminds me of a music box when you open the lid and a tiny pair of skaters start skating.

Oh, aren't they just exquisite?
I was definitely cheering for them last night.
There is something magical about them, so graceful, such good skaters but that chemistry is just electric.

I love watching the Olympic ice skating. As a kid I remember the first games I saw on T.V...the 1976 Winter Olympics with Dorthy Hamill. Ohh...how I wanted to skate and have hair like her! :)
