Skaters Virtue and Moir create history on ice

The Hindu  

Canada’s Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir planned to guzzle some champagne to toast their sparkling record-breaking ice dance triumph on Tuesday which saw them become the most decorated Olympic skaters of all time. In what is almost certainly their final appearance on the world stage, the Vancouver 2010 champions looked destined for silver after French rivals Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron appeared to have stolen the show in Pyeongchang, breaking their own free dance and combined score mark. Read: Olympics reels as 'clean' Russian curler hit by doping case “We didnt see them dance, we were very much in our world, we didnt even see their score,” said the 28-year-old Virtue. “We’ll probably make an announcement in the coming days, but for us we just want to enjoy this right now and let the dust kind of settle and figure out whats next.” - So emotional - Virtue and Moir led after Monday’s short programme, in which Papadakis suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
