LOL, even the ISU has reposted Scott Moir's epic ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video on its Figure Skating page on Facebook:

(The only other ALS Challenge video on the ISU page is from the Haydenettes.)​

Respect to Tessa for taking on the Challenge before Scott, and in turn nominating him for the Challenge.
Plus it was Tessa's challenge to Scott that prompted him to join Twitter and Instagram to post his Challenge video. (@tessavirtue also joined Instagram to post hers.)

For posterity, Tessa's own Challenge video:

^That was one epic bucket. :bow: Scott is never one to be outdone.

Mad respect for Tessa in challenging him too.

Forgot to say earlier that this week's videos from Tessa and Scott remind me of their charming H[SUB]2[/SUB]O photo shoot with Myra Klarman several years ago.
Scroll down to see especially the last five black-and-white photos in the river with the boot. Each partner had the pleasure of soaking the other. ;)

Forgot also to note that "ScottyMoooo" :laugh: apparently is one of @scottmoir's nicknames, according to the welcome tweet from @AlexShibutani.

Such lovely photos. :yay: Tessa looks kinda different, but in a good way. Lol, I hope that boot was clean!

Tessa did not retweet the action shot above ... not to be confused with the equally enjoyable photo of herself with her trusty caddie Scott:

ETA, found this Facebook album with many more nice photos of Tessa and Scott from Monday's golf fundraiser. (Scroll down to find them.)

As part of a leadership event for business students at Western University in London, Tessa and Scott will speak about their successes and challenges (Oct 27). :cool:

Seems that Tessa herself switched to Western University for her continuing studies. :bow:

Wow. :)

In other news, they will be perfoming at Art on ice next year in Europe.

Not surprised she switched to Western, that's a great school and it's right in her home town: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Western_Ontario. I have several friends and professional colleagues who graduated from its many faculties, they produce excellent graduates.

Tessa was also at Toronto International Film Festival last week, one of the biggest film fests in the world. Here she is on the same red carpet as the one and only Al Pacino. http://o.canada.com/entertainment/gallery-tiff-3rd-annual-charity-gala - not a fan of the darts on her dress though, it looks like a knock-off of her Sochi free dance (non-team) costume, but she's still so beautiful.

It was great to see Tessa and Scott again during the Skate Canada broadcast. :) I thought they did a good job.

Tessa was quick to correct the announcer when they were characterized as "not coming back." She said they simply needed this year off. While they didn't promise they'd come back... she was very adamant that they were 'leaving the door open.' I don't want to get my hopes up, of course, but it's hard not to when their comments seem to gradually shift away from retirement.

Thx for your post, Sandpiper.
Love hearing that Tessa made sure to clarify. Don't mess with Tessa. ;)
