Tessa Jane McCormick Virtue (born 17 May 1989) is a Canadian ice dancer who competes together with Scott Moir. Virtue and Moir are the 2010 Olympic champions, the 2014 Olympic silver medalist, the 2010 and 2012 World champions, the 2008 & 2012 Four Continents champions, the 2006 World Junior champions and six-time Canadian national champions (2008–2010, 2012-2014).

Virtue and Moir began skating together in 1997 and they won their first World Championship medal, a silver, in 2008. At the 2009 Skate Canada competition, they became the first ice dance team to ever receive a 10.0 component score mark under the ISU Judging System.[6] In addition, they became the youngest pair ever to win an Olympic title at the 2010 Winter Olympics and the first ice dancing team to do so outside of Europe. They are the world record score holders for the original dance. Their Olympic gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver was the first ever ice dance gold for Canada and North America. At the 2014 Winter Olympics, they won silver medals in ice dancing and in the team event.

In October 2010, Virtue, Moir, and co-writer Steve Milton published a book about their career called Tessa And Scott: Our Journey From Childhood Dream To Gold .[7]

Career

Early career

Virtue / Moir at the 2005 Junior World Championships.

Virtue and Moir began skating together in 1997, having been paired by his aunt, who was coaching them at the time.[8] Early in their career, they trained in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario with Paul MacIntosh and Suzanne Killing.[9]

In the 2001–2002 season, Virtue / Moir won the bronze medal at the 2002 Canadian Championships at the novice level. The following season, they placed 7th at the 2003 Canadian Championships in the junior division. In 2003, they moved to Canton, Michigan and began working with coaches Igor Shpilband and Marina Zueva at the Arctic Edge Ice Arena.[10][9]

In 2003–2004, Virtue / Moir made their ISU Junior Grand Prix debut on the 2003–2004 ISU Junior Grand Prix. They placed 4th at the event in Croatia and 6th in Slovakia. 2004 Canadian Championships, they won the Junior title, qualifying them for the team to the 2004 World Junior Championships, where they placed 11th.

The following season, Virtue / Moir moved up to senior nationally but remained juniors internationally. On the 2004–2005 ISU Junior Grand Prix, they won the event in China and won the silver medal at the event in France, which qualified them for the Junior Grand Prix Final, where they won the silver medal.

They won the gold medal at the 2008 Four Continents Championships. At the 2008 World Championships in Sweden, Virtue and Moir won the silver medal, winning the free dance segment with their program to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg soundtrack.

2008–2009 season

In the 2008–2009 season, Virtue / Moir withdrew from both their Grand Prix events due to Virtue's medical condition; she had been diagnosed with chronic exertional compartment syndrome and underwent surgery in October 2008 to alleviate the condition.[10][12] She returned to the ice at the start of December, which she later said was probably too early.[10] At the 2009 Canadian Championships, they won the gold medal.

At the 2009 Four Continents Championships, Virtue / Moir won the silver medal behind Americans Meryl Davis / Charlie White. At the 2009 World Championships, they won the bronze medal, after placing 3rd in the compulsory dance, 6th in the original dance, and 4th in the free skate.

2009–2010 season

Virtue & Moir at the 2010 Worlds.

Virtue / Moir started off the 2009–2010 Olympic season at the 2009 Trophée Eric Bompard, finishing first by a margin of 16.07 points ahead of the silver medalists, Nathalie Péchalat / Fabian Bourzat. They also won the 2009 Skate Canada International, with a total combined score of 204.38 points, 19.31 points ahead of Péchalat / Bourzat. At that competition, they received the first 10.0 for ice dance under the Code of Points.[6] They were second at the Grand Prix Final behind Davis / White.

On January 2010, Virtue / Moir won their third National title at the 2010 Canadian Championships, placing first all the three segments of the competition and earning 221.95 points overall, which was 37.25 ahead of silver medalists Vanessa Crone / Paul Poirier. They set Canadian records for free dance and for combined total.[13]

Virtue / Moir competed in the ice dancing competition at the 2010 Winter Olympics from February 19 through 22. They placed second in the compulsory dance, earning a new personal best score of 42.74 points, just 1.02 off the lead. They earned 68.41 points in the original dance, placing first in that segment of the competition.[14] They scored 110.42 points in the free dance, easily winning the gold medal overall with an insurmountable total score of 221.57, surpassing silver medalists Davis / White by 5.83 points. In the free dance, they received four 10.00 marks from the judges in the program components, two for the performance execution and two for interpretation,[15] a feat never before accomplished by a figure skater/or team under the International Judging System. They became the first Canadian as well as the first North American ice dance team and the youngest dance team to win the Olympics, and the first ice dance team to win the Olympic gold on home ice.[16] They were also the first ice dancers to win gold on their Olympic debut since the inaugural Olympic ice dance event in 1976.[16]

Virtue / Moir competed at the 2010 World Championships, placing first in the compulsory dance with 44.13 points, improving their previous personal best. They also won the original dance with 70.27 points, a world record under the ISU Judging System.[17] They placed second in the free dance with 110.03 points, 0.46 behind Davis / White. Overall they claimed their first World Championship title scoring 224.43 points, 1.40 ahead of Davis / White. They received numerous 10.00 for program components marks in the original dance and in the free dance.[18][19]

2010–2011 season

Virtue and Moir at 2011 Four Continents

For the 2010–2011 ISU Grand Prix season, Virtue / Moir were assigned to the 2010 Skate Canada International and to the 2010 Trophée Eric Bompard. Virtue underwent surgery in October 2010 to reduce the lingering pain in her shins and calves that is a result of Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome, leading to their withdrawal from Skate Canada.[12] They also withdrew from the 2011 Canadian Championships because they had not had enough time to train after the surgery.[20]

Virtue / Moir made their season debut at the 2011 Four Continents. They were in the lead following the short dance but withdrew midway through the free dance after Virtue felt tightness in her left quad muscle.[21] Virtue stated, "The issue with my quad was actually coming from my pelvis and my back. [I]t seemed to be stemming from a particular lift we were doing, which was a split lift. Upon returning home to Michigan we changed that lift immediately, so now we do an upside-down position instead of a split."[22] At the 2011 World Championships, they placed second overall by 3.48 points behind the American team of Meryl Davis / Charlie White.

Following the World Championships, Virtue experienced pain in her shins and calves. She decided against another surgery and used other methods to overcome the problem.[23]

2011–2012 season

Virtue / Moir were assigned to two Grand Prix events, 2011 Skate Canada and 2011 Trophee Eric Bompard, having declined a newly introduced option to compete in a third.[24] They announced their music selections in August.[24] Virtue and Moir won their first event of the season, 2011 Finlandia Trophy.[25] They won both their Grand Prix events and qualified for the Grand Prix Final, where they finished second in both segments to win the silver medal. In late December 2011, the ISU acknowledged a scoring error in the free dance; had the scores been correctly calculated (+ 0.5 points), Virtue / Moir would have won that segment. The scores from the Grand Prix Final were left unchanged, however.[26]

Virtue / Moir won their fourth national title in January 2012. In February, they competed at the 2012 Four Continents Championships. After a second place short dance, they rallied in the free dance to win their second Four Continents championships and first since 2008.[27] It was also their first victory over training mates Meryl Davis / Charlie White since the 2010 World Championships. Virtue / Moir then competed at the 2012 World Championships and won the gold medal finishing first in both the short and free dance ahead of silver medalists Davis / White.

Following Igor Shpilband's dismissal from the Arctic Edge Arena in June 2012, Virtue / Moir decided to remain at the rink with Marina Zoueva and ended their collaboration with Shpilband.[28]

2012–2013 season

Virtue and Moir debuting their newly modified short dance at the 2013 Canadian Figure Skating Championships

Virtue / Moir withdrew from the 2012 Finlandia Trophy due to a slight muscle strain in Moir's neck.[29] They were assigned to two Grand Prix events, the 2012 Skate Canada International and the 2012 Rostelecom Cup. At Skate Canada, Virtue and Moir won the short dance with a score of 65.09, only 0.01 points ahead of Anna Cappellini / Luca Lanotte of Italy. Virtue and Moir won the competition with a total score of 169.41, which was 9.35 points ahead of Cappellini and Lanotte.[30]

At the Grand Prix Final, Virtue / Moir took the silver medal behind Davis / White. They decided to modify their "The Waltz Goes On" short dance, simplifying the storyline.[31][32] Virtue / Moir debuted the modified short dance at the 2013 Canadian Championships, earning a score of 79.04.[33] They won their fifth national title with a combined score of 187.19 after their Carmen-themed free dance.[34] Virtue / Moir placed first in the short dance at the 2013 Four Continents Championships. During their free dance, Virtue felt cramping in her legs and paused the performance; they resumed after about three minutes and finished second to Davis / White.[35] Virtue and Moir also finished 2nd to Davis and White at the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships in their hometown of London, Ontario.[36]

2013–2014 season

Virtue and Moir started their season at the 2013 Finlandia Trophy and won the gold medal. They have been assigned two ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating events for the 2013–2014 season: the 2013 Skate Canada International, and the 2013 Trophée Eric Bompard and won those two competitions.[37] They started the season winning 2013 Finlandia Trophy in Espoo.[38] They finished second at the Grand Prix Final with their best score of the season (190.00).

During the airing of the 2014 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships on TSN, Virtue and Moir stated that they could be retiring after the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.[39] At the Sochi games, they won silver in both the Ice dancing and team skate events[40][41]

They later decided to skip the world championships with Patrick Chan.
