Ice dancing Olympic Gold Medalist champion Tessa Virtue

This week we sit down with Tessa Virtue, Canadian Olympic champion and one of the most celebrated ice dance pairs in history with her partner Scott Moir. We talk about the pressures of starting in a competitive sport at such a young age, her chemistry with Moir, and the lessons she learned from being a pro athlete. We also cover career pivots, glorifying the grind and how she was able to re-define her career post Olympics.

    Mee too and I discovered the only 2 years ago when they already retired. I love very much ice dance and skating since I was very very young. ( Protopopov, Buch/Buch, Rodnina/Zaitcev, Katarina Witt, Scott Hamilton, Brian Boitano and so on) I saw them not on italian tv , but on some others european tv. Here in Italy, even if we had some good champions the italian TV never covered as due ice dance. So I have lost so much.

    Oh my goodness. First of all Thank you for doing this beautiful interview with Tessa. Ryan your Mom Brenda, feels exactly as I do. And My Name Is Brenda!!! How funny. Being a Competitive Skater and Now a Ballroom Dancer. I can truly say I have so many similarities as you Tessa. As a kid I was a single skater, and now I'm a National Ballroom Competitor and relate to what you said 100% about being accountable and protecting my partnership with everything I have. Sending You Lots of Love.😊💝

    Где бы мы не видели теперь Тессу мы неосознанно чувствуем рядом Скотта и ждём что вот его сейчас покажут рядышком и они будут смотреть друг на друга улыбаться слушать друг друга и соглашаться кивая головой. Ведь это так естественно ждать этого и видеть как будто на яву ибо так было 22 года и мы уже чувствуем их и знаем что будет чего ждать мы вроде как видим те невидимые прочные нити которые их связывают. Мы не можем себе их разделить. Там где Тесса мы всегда ищем видим Скотта и его трогательную заботу о ней и наоборот. Для нас они останутся не раздельны как одно целое как и было на протяжении всей их карьеры. И поэтому Привет Тесса и да тот же вопрос: как ты и Мойр?…..

    When this was shot who made the decision to do individual shots of each of the two of them? The both could easily have been in the same shot there's lots of room. Meanwhile look up rule of thirds, fill the frame and other elementary compositional rules.

    What was the leg injury? Did she have to skate in a lot of pain? Is it fully recovered now?

    She had an "over use" type of injury that caused her a tremendous amount of pain. She had to have two operations and almost had a third. She would be able to skate for only about 30 seconds at a time when it was flaring up. She said just a year or two ago that unfortunately it didn't all entirely go away as she had hoped once they retired. She still has pain sometimes even though she doesn't really skate anymore.
