Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

[ice coverage]

ICYMI (as I did) in March 2014, Myra Klarman posted a new batch of terrific Virtue/Moir photos that she took in Fall 2013. V/M are all dressed up in various off-ice settings.

Scott holds his own :yes:, and Tessa is absolutely dazzling.

Yes!!! These photos are so beautiful! I love them!! <3 ...I so missed seeing their names on the GP assignments. Totally expected, but missed nonetheless.

Yes, it was bittersweet, they need the rest for sure, but on the other hand it was like the end of a whole era not seeing them listed.

Mhmm, I totally agree. I want the best for them; and hope to hear about what they're doing in the future. (And always secretly wishing for another season or competition, haha.) But really, they will never be forgotten. I will miss them this season...but am interested to see how the field of ice dance evolves over this quad.

To Tessa and Scott, who brought a classic elegance and undeniable beauty to the ice with their skating!

Compliment to Virtue/Moir from Kiira Korpi's new interview with IN:

... if I had to choose whose skating I would prefer to watch on repeat all the day, the answer would be Tessa (Virtue) and Scott (Moir).

Thank you, Doris. Enjoyed it.

Ooh imagine if Tessa could help Zijun with her skating skills and presentation

Possible that the galleries were just posted this week, at the time of the tweet below??

Tessa and Scott, "Into the Mystic" at Artistry on Ice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcnQqcr87uE Sadly, only half the performance.

As a side note, I'm a bit disgruntled at how they were announced (on the tail end of a video of Johnny Weir and Hao Zhang's performance). Why introduce them as Sochi silver medallists instead of Vancouver gold medallists?

I just posted these links in the Plushy fan fest thread, but thought they might be of interest here as well:

Their other number, Top Hats and Tails, at Artistry on Ice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qROxswXmEog People in audience: "Simply too good!" and "So handsome!" (referring to Scott, I assume, though a fitting description for Tessa as well ).

@Sandpiper - I don't know... "A handsome woman" makes me think of another type of woman than Tessa - more along the lines of... say... Jadis, the White Witch (as picturised in the books.) Tessa is beautiful rather than handsome, I'd say.

 

[Sandpiper]

Yeah, you're right. I'm more referring to her outfit for that particular performance.

Thx for all the photos, LRK.

^I didn't even think of it that way! Makes the golfing seem more awesome, lol. Not to mention, all three of them have 3+ Olympic medals each, including the gold.

I did. Well, not immediately - but then the thought did come to me. It's quite cool, isn't it?

 

[Sandpiper]

^Well, it looks like you have the heart of an Olympic champion while I... don't. :scowl:

The heart maybe... So long as I don''t actually have to put any, you know, physical exertion into it.
