Virtue and Moir won the dance title Monday night, a first for the Canadians — heck, for anybody in North America. For only the third time since ice dance became an Olympic sport in 1976, the gold went to someone other than a Russian or Soviet couple.
“I’ll probably wear it in the shower,” Moir said. “I’m not going to take it off all week.”
The Russians won’t have that option. They’ve been oh-for-gold in pairs, men’s competition and now dance — events they’re used to dominating. They could very well go home without winning at least one skating event for the first time since 1960.Russia couldn’t even win the silver in dance. That went to two-time U.S. champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White, giving the United States back-to-back dance medals for the first time. Reigning world champions Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin of Russia were third.
“North America has really come into its own in terms of ice dance,” Davis said. “This Olympics is a little bit of a turning point again. It’s really exciting to be a part of it.”Davis and White’s silver was the 25th medal won by the U.S., matching its record set in 2006 for medals won at a Winter Olympics away from home. The Americans are guaranteed of passing that, because the U.S. women’s hockey team can do no worse than a silver medal.
Virtue and Moir finished 5.83 points ahead of the Americans, their close friends and training partners in Detroit.Canadian pair won the gold medal after winning 221.57 points for their performance.
Husband to win is pretty much excited to have the gold. Muir commented that it was a wonderful night and week for them. He said he was the most memorial week of his life, and the feeling was that there can never be forgotten. On the other hand, the virtue, they skated together in their hearts, and they enjoy the moments we spent together, while the floor of ice skating. They are proud to be Canadian.
No Canadian or American couple had ever won an Olympic gold medal in ice dancing. Russian, Soviet or Unified Team dancers had won every Olympic gold except two – one of those the unforgettable Torvill and Dean – since ice dancing became an Olympic sport in 1976. With only the women’s event left, Russia is likely to go home without an Olympic gold medal in figure skating for the first time in 50 years.
Virtue and Moir melted the crowd with their performance to Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5. Dressed in simple black and white, they looked like a young couple breaking away from a cocktail party for a dance in the garden. She climbed atop his thigh – call it the stepladder lift. In another high-risk maneuver, he whipped her around his neck three times. Their twizzles were in nearly flawless unison. They floated across the ice with more speed than any other couple. When they finished with a soft embrace, applause from the home crowd thundered from the stands.
