Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, (respectively, born May 17, 1989, London, Ontario, Canada; born September 2, 1987, London, Ontario, Canada), Canadian ice dancers who became the first North Americans to win the Olympic gold medal in ice dancing when they triumphed at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. The pair subsequently won a second Olympic gold medal at the 2018 Winter Games.
Virtue and Moir began skating together when they were aged seven and nine, respectively. Moir’s aunt, who was also his skating coach at the time, thought that the two similarly small, athletic children would make a good match on the ice, and the pair started training at a skating rink in Kitchener, almost 70 miles (113 km) away from their homes in the London area. The two had a natural chemistry, and their performances around London often drew thousands of spectators. After six years of skating together, Virtue and Moir moved to Kitchener to further commit themselves to their training. Later they relocated to a suburb of Detroit to work with renowned coaches Marina Zoueva and Igor Shpilband. Virtue and Moir’s first major success came in 2004 when the pair won the Canadian junior national championship, and in 2006 they were the ice dancing world junior champions.
