    Thank you so much for watching and enjoying this video! It makes me so happy to see Oona and Gage's skating reaching a massively deserved audience. We filmed one more routine this day that I will be editing and posting soon, but in the meantime, do check out Oona and Gage Brown's GoFundMe page for their training season here: gf.me/u/zbu2q5. Even though many national and all international competitions have been cancelled this season, that hasn't stopped them from continuing to train, in the hopes they can qualify for Junior Worlds next year and possibly earn a spot at the Olympics one day. Again, that GoFunMe link is here! gf.me/u/zbu2q5

      They do know ahead of time... Or the good ones do
      - my brother-in-law is a cameraman he's done many olympics...I've known other people who have done sports in concerts
      They study the choreography ahead of time.
      But they also have automated multi-cameras which seamlessly looks like it's the same frame when it's not
      I've also been to those ice capades shows years ago - when a skater falls, they have them come out after the show and redo those sections of there choreography so when it goes on TV it looks perfect
      I'll tell you that I walked a NYC runway decades ago - you would never recognize me - I didn't... Don't ever rely on cameras as reality.
      there's probably multi-camera work going on here.

      @@shy8311 I think it's mostly their coordination. It looks super easy but it is really difficult to be as fluid as they are here and not trip over your partners boots and stuff. The jumps aren't too complex but bear in mind he has to move smoothly while bearing her weight and do turns which puts a good amount of pressure on your leg. It's so easy to mess up jumps to and spins, the closer or farther away from the ground are very hard to do without slipping as you can fall if not done at the right angle and injure yourself. It's all the centre of balance thing to as you have to make it look good while skating which can get in the way if your being technical about jumps and timing, especially in doubles as timing jumps is a good portion of the marks. Being able to do all this with minimal mistakes is certainly national level skating. Some professionals struggle with this in their 20s and 30s in professional skating yet they were able to do it so well. I would love to do this but sadly had to quit due to injuries, very impressed at their work. Sorry for the rant though

      @@fe5018 Passion and Chemistry aren't solely romantic aspects. It's such a shame how that's the automatic default these days. That's another reason why I especially love this routine and this duo: they're fueled by a sense of intimacy that isn't often portrayed in skating. The vast majority of professional figure skating pairs always have this tinge of romantic and wondrous tension in their dynamic, their routines and their costumes, even if the relationship the skaters themselves share is completely platonic and/or professional. With this brother-sister team, we have a pair with a loving essence that almost nobody would mistake for romance, so they're not only delivering medal-worthy routines, they're flipping the stereotype upside down of romantic affection being the most prevalent affection, or the only kind of affection allowed, to be hinted at in the sport, or that the strength of sibling and familial love could never hold up to romantic love.

    OUTSTANDING that was INCREDIBLE. How could anyone walk past them without being mesmerized? I could barely stand to look away to adjust my screen, They are amazing.. beautiful performance. Totally captivating. The rest of the world watches their skaters without fear. In the USA we're too busy being controlled like sheep with beaks and even hide on New Year's Eve - no ball drop in Time Square... But no problem in China and elsewhere.

    The choreography was so nsync they really brought this one to life.

    I have never seen anything like this. A beautiful couple in a beautiful dance on the ice. I am glad there wasn't any jumps to mess up the dancing. It was beautiful and amazing.

      IKR? About 2/3 of the way thru the routine, I had this right-between-the eyes moment of "HOW is this even being filmed?!"

    I don't know what's more impressive: their skills or the camera work. The comment section fully agrees, either way!

    Perfection on ice. Incredible, they must have practiced for hours and hours, the skill required to achieve this routine is simply staggering. Well done to both skaters, and also the person filming them. It is a truly an amazing performance. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love from the UK, Dot xxx.

    This video and their skating and the photography is a work of art. By the time I was done watching this I was crying. Just amazing. So glad I watched.
