Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are suspiciously good at The Dating Game on ‘Ellen’
On Tuesday’s episode of Ellen, ice dancing champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir claimed once again that they are not dating. This did not persuade me, a person whose most strongly held belief is that Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are dating. …

Athletes bid farewell to Pyeongchang on Sunday at the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics.
But among the usual speeches, rituals, and parades, K-pop and a kid guitarist came out on top. Or they were the crowd-pleasers, anyway — the closing ceremony is blessedly free of competition.
13-year-old guitarist Yang Tae-hwan played a variation on “Winter” from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons as part of a celebration of “hallyu” — a term used to describe the “Korean wave” of ubiquity that Korean popular culture has achieved over the past several decades. Read more…

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skate on Olympic ice for (probably) the last time
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fstory%2Fthumbnail%2F69532%2F7594ef0d-954b-4d32-9a8f-aafd6e6ae03b.jpg)
After winning gold and making millions of people wonder if they’re in love, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have skated on Olympic ice for what is perhaps the last time.
The ice dancing pair has not officially decided if they’re retiring from competition, but there’s a good chance they are — which made their performance at Sunday’s figure skating gala particularly special.
Wondering if Virtue and Moir’s chemistry lessens outside high-pressure competition? Spoiler: it does not!
Breathtaking.

The men’s 1,000m speed skating event at the Winter Olympics may have been the most risqué event in Pyeongchang yet, thanks to a nearly-naked man in a tutu with a monkey pouch covering his privates.
Nope, this is not a joke.
With the words “PEACE + LOVE” written on his bare chest, a semi-nude streaker (quite possibly the infamous Mark Roberts) barreled down the seats of the venue and onto the ice right after the men finished competing on the ice. Thanks to this blurry footage caught by @mhj.kooij on Instagram, you can watch him land on the rink, strip down to a tutu and then fall flat on his face. Read more…

The Olympics are all fun and games, until someone suffers an intense crash.
In this case, Austrian alpine ski races Matthias Mayer fell during the men’s alpine combined, running over a cameraman in the process.
Some people enjoy watching the crashes, because they are reminded of the fact that no one, not even an Olympic athlete, is perfect.
But in this case, I just hope he’s OK.
