Dancing on Ice
Canadian gold medal champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir by Michael Crabb

fter dazzling gold medal wins at Vancouver’s Winter Olympics and at the World Championships in Torino a month later, ice dance super-champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are already being compared with such figure skating greats as Russia’s Ekaterina Gordeeva and the late Sergei Grinkov or Britain’s Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean. The young Canadian couple — a couple on ice only, in case you were curious — are, however, the last to make such claims. “It’s a big compliment,” says Moir, “but I’m not sure we’re quite there yet.”
