The Video Of Virtue & Moir's Free Dance Is So Dramatic & You Need To See It
On Tuesday, Feb. 20, Canadian duo Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir became the most decorated ice dance team in Olympic history. During the free dance portion of the ice dance competition — one of five figure skating events at the PyeongChang Olympics in South Korea — the pair sealed a gold medal after scoring 122.4 points, a personal best for the two competitors. Now, the video of Virtue and Moir's free dance stands as one of the more impressive highlights from the 2018 Winter Games.
Meanwhile, their overall score now stands as the best ever.
Virtue and Moir's 122.4-point performance on Tuesday was second behind France's Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, who received a score of 123.35 for their free dance. But when Virtue and Moir's free dance was combined with their short dance performance from Monday, their overall score became not only good enough for gold, but for a world record as well.
Now, the Canadian competitors plan to ride off into the sunset.
"I think it's a nice end to our Olympic career," Virtue told CBC Sports after winning gold. "I can't help but think about the 20 years we've spent working for this moment."
More to come.
