Figure Skating Ice Dancing Olympics Olympics 2018 Scott Moir

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skate on Olympic ice for (probably) the last time

sudshr47 February 25, 2018

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.

Do not piss off Team USA’s men’s curling team — something Kirstie Alley is learning the hard way.

The actress tweeted an off-hand thought while watching the Winter Olympics on Monday, calling the sport of curling “boring.”

Im not trying to be mean but…… Curling is boring

Needless to say, the U.S. men’s curling team thought, yeah, it was mean. So, they fired back.
