Dancing for Gold.
Canadian Olympic skaters Tessa Virtue
and Scott Moir gave a nearly flawless performance
Sunday night,
Feb.21, at the Winter Olympics
in Vancouver. The Ontario ice dancers received the highest-ever score
for an ice dance performance that night, and
together with their romantic free dance performance
Monday night,
Feb.22, they achieved the Olympic Gold
Medal for ice dancing. At ages 22 and 20, Moir and Virtue are the youngest ice
dance medalists in Olympic history, and the first
North American pair to win the honour. |
