It’s been an incredible career for Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.
The pair has skated together for 20 years, topping podiums and tugging at heartstrings along the way.
Their career together started in 1997 and it really took off when they won the Canadian Junior title in 2004.
In 2007, they became the country’s top ice dance pair and burst onto the world stage with a silver medal at the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships.
Representing Canada on home soil at Vancouver 2010, Virtue and Moir became the first ice dancers from North American to win Olympic gold, ending a 34-year streak of European champions.
They added a pair of silver medals at Sochi 2014 and over the last two weeks have managed to win another two gold medals at PyeongChang 2018.
After their dominating performance in PyeongChang, the Canadian duo is now the most decorated Olympic figure skaters of all time and are certainly going out on top.
Following their gold medal win on Tuesday, CBC published an incredible video montage celebrating their two-decade career together, and it had all of Canada feeling patriotic and emotional.
Set to Jim Cuddy’s son ‘Pull Me Through,’ words can’t really do the video justice and you’ll just have to watch it for yourself.
