I think Adidas dates from pre-Olympics. The RW&Co. collaboration is new though.

Yes, Tessa has been with Adidas since 2016

Thanks so much for letting us know. Spent a wonderful time watching all the Olympic performances. I'd forgotten how awesome their compulsory dance was in 2010 and it was great to see the SD in Peongchang again! I also enjoyed watching how much they grew in the 12 years as performers and skaters. So again Sap5, thanks for the wonderful share.

It’s amazing how even without the exhibition numbers, their time on Olympic ice totals one hour.

It really puts into perspective how they consistently delivered at all of their Olympic appearances. So impressive.

Ahhhhhhhh! Not ready!!!!!

They've announced on twitter that they'll "step away from the sport" at the end of the RTR tour.

Are they saying their show career will be over after the tour or are they only talking about ending their competitive career?

Anyway... They will receive a honorary degree from the University of Western Ontario (source). Congrats!

Life-saving and game-changing innovators, award-winning artists and international sporting champions stand among seven distinguished individuals to receive honorary degrees when Western hosts its 314th Convocation this fall.

The ceremonies, featuring addresses by the honorary degree recipients, are scheduled for the following days:

Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue
10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23
Doctor of Laws, honoris causa (LLD)

I think they're referring to everything--they're stepping away from skating entirely. It makes sense, Scott's getting married and probably wants to focus on his coaching career, and Tessa will do...whatever she's been doing.

Even though I knew they would retire one day, I genuinely hoped they never would. Wishing them all the best in the future ❤ They’re still my greatest team ever.

Not ready for this. :fragile:

Scott I found interesting. Off the ice he was suburban-cut-the-grass guy. But when he took the ice he became something completely diffferent. In charge, powerful, sexy - these great lines. Also, the Mahler was such an inspired idea - one of the classic FD's.

bbkenn · Sep 18, 2019

Happy for them, sad for me

kittyjake5 · Sep 18, 2019

Simply the Best! Good luck to Tessa and Scott in their future endeavors.

kittysk8ts · Sep 18, 2019

Even though we all knew it had to happen....it's still emotional. We just have to focus on what they gave us. A lifetime of joy. Thanks to all of you here in this thread, for sharing your emotions, good and bad. It's been amazing.

Golden1 · Sep 18, 2019

It makes me really sad to see them retire. As a European fan I had really hoped that they would come to Europe and do some shows so that I would have had the chance to see them live at least one more time. :wuzrobbed

However, I'm thankful for all the great experiences I had watching them live, on TV, on my computer, during the day or in the middle of the night. I also want to say thank you to all of you for all the fun I had here discussing Tessa and Scott with all of you

There’s a video by Skate Canada, but I actually think it’s terrible. Watch it without sound, because it does not match the images at all. I know V/M love The Arkells, but this was not the right combo - lots of fan videos better than this IMO.

I don’t think the retirement from amateur skating is unexpected, but I’m surprised to hear that it’s their last tour. At least, that’s how some media outlets have interpreted the announcement.

Right now I'm 38 weeks pregnant, so I won't be able to make it to Canada. So I think I will have enough to do in the upcoming weeks and months to not miss Tessa and Scott too much

A Tribute to Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

A Tribute to Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir

Recently, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir announced their retirement from the sport of ice dance. In the days since, many articles have been written about the Canadian figure skaters whose on-ice part…

When I first met Tessa & Scott, I was immediately struck by how gracious they were. At the time, I never could have imagined that I’d eventually go on to form a friendship with the pair and have the opportunity to document some of their most memorable accomplishments in the years that followed.

sap5 · Sep 22, 2019

I can see them do one-off shows occasionally in the future, instead of full blown tours. So hopefully they’ll do Art On Ice or something similar in Europe in the future!

Judy · Sep 23, 2019

Very happy for them ... so difficult to say goodbye. However, it is not really a goodbye. I am sure we will see them commentating.

I am grateful that they choose not to retire after the 2010 Olympics and that they returned from retirement for the 2nd Olympic win.

What the hell? Scott is getting married? Who is the lucky girl? I am out of the loop.
