i am in tears...the pas de deux has been my favorite piece of music since i was a little girl. they did a beautiful job and their choreography and grace made the music even more beautiful which i didn't even think was possible. Simply WONDERFUL

I'm a ballerina not a figure skater but this just brought me to tears and admiration.

No words....can describe how I feel right now...T.T OMG! Ballet mixed with Figure Skating...I'm not gonna cry...dammit I'm crying!!!

The video quality is regretfully not very good, but the performance is UNMATCHED and BRILLIANT!!!

They absolutely transformed once the music began - if ever the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier existed on Earth, they did in that moment.

AMazing, it would be even better without the commentary.

When in doubt, always skate to Tchaikovsky. Always inspiring

Watching this again after so many years, I was still amazed by their performance. Thank Shen & Zhao for giving us so many memorable moments!

omg why did i cry

This is my favorite ice skating performance of all time

the synchrony of ballet and figure skating here is perfection

Stunning. One of the most breathtakingly beautiful pairs performances I have seen in 55 yrs of watching figure skating. The synergy is incredible.

It was really a space ride ..... and that music!!!

After 15 years, it's just more than incredible ❤❤❤ I can't find words to describe this masterpiece

I've always thought this song was made for an ice skating routine much more than a ballet one, its was more suitable!

Stunning. Even 14 years later.

Their ending pose was a nice nod to the ballet.

But what have I done with my life, that Pas de deux....

Oh my gosh! How long I've been waiting to get this performance on tape! It almost seems as if Shen, Zhao and Tchaikovsky collaborated to give us the most beautiful rendering of this masterwork possible on ice! I almost forget that it was originally a ballet as I watch these two athletes. Thank you! Thank you! Encore and Bravo! :-)

I love the look of triumph and greatness on their faces at the end.

I wish I had a better version of this video. It's so amazing I cried

You cant go wrong with one of the most beautiful songs ever written!!!

This music from the nutcracker is unbelievably beautiful.

Es realmente hermoso, tanta sincronía entre ellos y la misma música es impresionante. El blablá de los comentaristas estaba de sobra, una molestia, pero fuera de eso, simplemente bello.

A paradise of mathematical and poetic movement , drawing dazzling Tchaikovsky music .

Angels from heaven came to earth to dance the NC pas de deux ..on ice?? OMG.. Heavenly

This is perfect in every single way, I'm speechless

Este vídeo, tanto pela música, quanto pela performance, foi uma das coisas mais impressionantes que já assisti em minha vida. Tenho 75 anos e sou músico. Chorei

I was watching the Nutcracker and suddenly realised that the pas deux is also perfect for figure skating. I wrote it to youtube and yes I was right. Now my eyes are blessed with this pure perfection. I'm tottally speecless. THANK YOU!!!

I get too emotionally on Tchaikovsky's music, including "Pas de Deux" from The Nutcracker. That's the way I feel.

Brilliant performance set to the most beautiful music ever written.

this is legendary!!!!!

Какая всё таки у нас музыка. До слёз. И "Священная война" до мурашек.

Beautiful

this was so beautiful… brought tears to my eyes.

It was so beautiful. Nothing will ever compare I think, it was...chilling.

Such a beautiful performance to a beautiful song! I got goosebumps too!

Talk about spectacular! If I type all the adjectives I want to I'll run out of room and superlatives...but glorious, emotional, splendid!! I cried halfway through and laughed with pure joy at the end!

One of the best performances I have ever seen.

hermoso, hermoso, hermoso

Fabuleux, quelle performance bravo.

I love, love, LOVE that they kept the final pose from the ballet!

I'm in tears...I have no words...this was so beautiful!

Simple y llanamente bellisimo!!!!!!!! Adoro el patinaje artistico. Quizas lo hubiera disfrutado mas sin los comentarios tecnicos durante la ejecucion, pero igual fue hermoso en su momento. Algo para no olvidar.

Inexplicable lo que acabo de ver ...simplemente grandioso maravilloso nos llevaron a otra dimensión donde nace todo lo divino para ser expresado a un extasis donde se detuvo el tiempo ❤

no puede ser!!!.... me encantó... nunca había visto algo igual... 😊😊😊😊😊 me encantó

Reminds me of home, and my childhood

That was wonderful. I was thoroughly moved to tears.

oh my Gooood,this is masterpiece. ❤️❤️❤️

I watch this every chance I get🩰🎶

Made my eyes water. Tchaikovsky's music, especially the Grand Pas De Deux from the Nutcracker was a brilliant choice. And I agree with a previous comment, please stop commentating and let us just enjoy the skating. Thanks for posting.

Go away goosebumps...

I'm in tears! Great performance
