Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir caught the World's attention in 2006 when they became the first Canadian Ice Dancers to win the Junior World Championships.  Since then, the pair have consistently placed among the top of the pack at International competitions, including a gold medal at the 2008 Four Continents Championship, and a silver at the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships.  Virtue and Moir are also three-time Canadian National Champions, winning in 2008, 2009, and 2010.  At 2009 Skate Canada, the pair received the first 10.0 awarded in dance in international competition.

Virtue is from London, Ontario, and is studying psychology at the University of Windsor.  Moir, was born in London, but was raised in Ilderton, Ontario.  The pair have skated together since 1997, and are known for their intricate footwork and innovative lifts.

This year, they have debuted a brand new signature lift called "The Goose"; in this daring lift, Virtue poses with her knee planted on Moir's back, arms spread, and transitions to a one-rotation jump off. 

Ranked third in the World, Virtue and Moir represented one of Canada's best medal hopefuls entering the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. To the delight of fans across Canada, Virtue and Moir went on to win the first North American Olympic Gold Medal in Ice Dancing.
