“I can’t believe this is real life. This is such a huge honour,” said Moir. “We can’t believe we have a Walk of Fame star, and we’re pretty excited about it.”
Virtue said she hopes her and Moir’s 21-year partnership on the ice has inspired a new generation of Canadian athletes.
“The thing with the Olympic movement and sport, in general, is that there’s always another story, another athlete coming that is even more inspiring and is giving more to the Canadian public,” said Virtue. “We’re so lucky to be a part of something bigger.”

The 29-year-old Olympian looked Hollywood ready as she arrived on the red carpet of the annual awards celebration at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.
Virtue wore an emerald green gown by Spanish designer, Yolancris, and a pink ostrich feather jacket by Fox the Label. The London, Ont. native previously wore the gown on a recent cover of Real Style magazine, and teased fans on Twitter that she was saving the look, which she calls her “favourite dress ever,” for a special occasion.
