Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue captured the attention of all of Canada last night with an awe-inspiring performance that had people everywhere celebrating their achievements.
Even witnessing the performance live, there’s still a ton of detail in their dance that most people will miss, but images can capture moments that everyone missed in the moment. With a performance as perfectly executed as theirs, there were tons of beautiful moments captured by photographers at the event and we’re sharing the best of the best.
There is a wide range of styles too. You have the emotional photos, the ones celebrating their performance before they even know their score, the end of their performance that had the internet in an uproar thinking they were married and the facetimes to their loved ones before they were even off the ice. Then there are the shocking ones: Tessa standing on Scott's legs with her skates, the huge lifts and the synchronization.
Here are the eight most breathtaking photos from Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir’s performance.
We’ll also add a bonus photo which is funnier than it is breathtaking. It’s not quite representative of how elegant the move looked in motion, but it looks more like Virtue is about to get power bombed in this one.
They may have a wrestling career in their future.
And of course, one image that is a little extra special is the one Virtue posted after their big win. The photo is great, but what it makes truly special is the caption.
