Ice dance darlings Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir win gold

First Published:

Canadian ice dance duo Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are ending their Olympic career on top.

Virtue and Moir captured a gold medal at the Pyeongchang Games after scoring a record 206.07 points to beat training partners Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume
Cizeron of France.

The Canadian pair are now the most decorated figure skaters in Olympic history. They also helped Canada to a gold medal in the team event last week.

In what was likely their final competitive performance, the duo performed a steamy skate to music from “Moulin Rouge.”

Virtue and Moir have said they will retire after Pyeongchang.
