Canadian ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the most decorated Olympic figure skaters of all-time, officially announce their retirement via Twitter ahead of "Rock The Rink", their final cross-country tour. In the selfie video, the two wear funeral black and skate around the rink, the stands in the background empty like our hearts, addressing the camera. Thee footage cuts to videos of Virtue and Moir growing up on the ice before our eyes, a supercut of Virtue dramatically stage-fainting into Moir’s arms, as children and teens and adults, and Moir catching her every time. It cuts back to Tessa gazing up at Scott in ways that make you second-guess whether you’ve actually ever felt true love before. Moir puts his arm around her. Tessa says, “After 22 years, it feels like the right time to step away from the sport […] this is so personal and emotional for both of us. We’re just so grateful.” Scott says they feel like “the most fortunate kids in Canada.” The music swells. They assure us they still love us, essentially saying the ice divorce isn’t our fault, and that they still care about each other very much, and that we’ll still be able to see them.
