Canadian ice dancing stars Virtue, Moir call it quits
Print Edition
Canadian ice dancing stars Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir say they are “stepping away” from the sport.
Their retirement was revealed late on Tuesday night in a video posted on their separate Twitter accounts. The pair is shown skating around on ice, Moir holding a cellphone camera, as they thank fans for their support in an emotional message. “After 22 years, it feels like the right time to step away from the sport,” Virtue said. “This is so personal and emotional for both of us. We’re just so grateful. How lucky are we really that we got to share all of this together and with all of you?” Virtue and Moir were expected to retire following a gold-medal performance at the Pyeongchang Olympics in 2018, but had not made an official announcement until Tuesday. The pair’s 2018 gold was their fifth Olympic medal. They also won gold at the Vancouver Games in 2010, silver in Sochi in 2014, and one gold and one silver in the team event in Pyeongchang and Sochi, respectively. Virtue, 30, and Moir, 32, have been ice dancing partners for 22 years.
