Unpopular opinion (and I mean UNPOPULAR) but rocky is still a better program composition&concept than whatever porridge g/f are skating to. Is the execution worth the points they get? NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Would I rather watch g/f, even just doing warmup exercises? Yes absolutely, their skating is mesmerising. But also their program has no memorable moves and has the sinkats-like arm choreo🤷

Okay genuine question from someone who follows men's skating extremely selectively:

What on earth happened at french nationals and why does everyone hate Kevin now? So many people mentioning it, no one explaining anything :(

Turkkila & Versluis: “We Have Been Together From The Very Beginning, We Don't Know How It Feels Like To Skate With Someone Else”

The working relationship between Juulia Turkkila and Matthias Versluis is exceptionally intimate. United as one, the ice dance couple have gotten used to each other's touch.

In Pirkkola ice rink, the zamboni driver is finishing his work. The ice is fresh and the first skater enters the rink. She takes the ice and moves gracefully. After a few minutes, another person walks briskly from the locker room to the ice. He takes his skate guards off and glides calmly.

The two skaters soon approach one another. They grab each other's hand and skate together. The training day of Juulia and Matthias is ready to start. They have been an ice dance couple for several years. Contact between them is close during practices and performances. In ice dance, skaters have to really show emotions and be fully committed.

“We want to perform in a state of flow, movement blending into each other,” Juulia describes. Matthias nods next to her. The duo, born in 1994, started their ice dance career together in the spring of 2016.

Juulia and Matthias have spent a lot of time together. It is very obvious in an interview situation, where both finish each other's sentences. If one person searches for a certain word, the other blurts it out immediately.

In recent years, their career has been on the rise. The couple won European Bronze last season and this fall, they became the first Finnish team to win Finlandia Trophy.

The journey to the top has been long. Matthias points out that the transition from single skating to ice dance was not easy. Performance quality is vital in this discipline. Every touch has to look genuine and natural. Feelings must be conveyed to the audience. The couple has made efforts to be more bold and vivacious.

“We don't want to look like shy Finns,” Juulia says. “We always want to give more,” Matthias adds.

Juulia considers it a strength that both started ice dance together at the same time. “We have been together from the very beginning. We don't know how it feels like to skate with someone else,” she says.

In recent years, the couple has learned to relax during their performances. “Physical touch already feels natural,” Matthias shares. “We don’t feel the need to force emotions. Touch has become natural through repetitions and personal familiarity. We have skated kilometers with each other,” Juulia continues. “Our chemistry has improved tremendously,” Matthias concludes.

From an outsider’s point of view, it is clear that they also have chemistry off the ice. One cannot necessarily assume that they are dating. In ice dance, however, many couples are together in real life.

Have many people approach to ask if you are a couple? The question makes them smile. “People probably speculate more on the internet. No stranger has ever come to ask,” Matthias responds.

Juulia and Matthias are frolicking together on the ice. Pirkkola rink is dark and cold, but the couple exudes warmth. They move smoothly as one. Juulia often has a wide, cheeky smile. Matthias looks more serious and focused.

In Juulia’s opinion, sharing this journey with Matthias has been the best part of her ice dance career. “It has been wonderful to share success with someone. I don’t feel alone. Matthias understands all my sentiments because we’ve experienced everything together,” Juulia reveals. Her other half agrees. In single skating, Matthias always felt lonely. “It's nice to share this process with a partner,” he says.

Mark Hanretty, while Michail Savitskiy skates by in a blue polkadot blazer: "As a generalization, ice dancers are always so very conscious and mindful of costumes, perhaps more than some of the other disciplines-"

Ted Barton: "What do you mean perhaps? What is perhaps?"
