With ice dance partner Scott Moir, she is the 2010 and 2018 Olympic champion, the 2014 Olympic silver medallist, a three-time World champion, a three-time Four Continents champion, the 2016–17 Grand Prix Final champion, an eight-time Canadian National champion, the 2006 World Junior champion and the 2006 Junior Grand Prix gold medallists. Virtue and Moir are also the 2018 Olympic gold medallists in the team event and the 2014 Olympic silver medallists in the team event. Upon winning their third Olympic gold they became the most decorated Olympic figure skaters of all time.

Virtue and Moir are holders of the world record score for the now-defunct original dance.

Personal life
Virtue was born and raised in London, Ontario, Canada. Two years into her partnership with Moir, a nine-year-old Virtue passed up the opportunity to enter the National Ballet School to devote herself to skating. She graduated with a Master of Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 2023. In 2004, Virtue began living in Canton, Michigan, in the US, to train under Igor Shpilband and Marina Zueva. After the 2014 Olympics, she moved back to London, Ontario. In 2016, she moved to Montreal, Quebec, where she and Moir were coached by Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon. According to Rielly, they met one another via a mutual friend. The couple married later in 2023, and their wedding was covered by Hello! In August 2024, Virtue gave birth to their first child, a son. ==Career==

Awards and honours
• Virtue and Moir were inducted in London (ON) Sports Hall of Fame in 2010 after winning gold in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. It was a somewhat unusual decision because the guidelines for athletes to be considered for induction is retirement from their sport for a period of two years while Virtue and Moir were just at the beginning of their career. Furthermore, the induction event was moved into September that year so as not to interfere with the upcoming skating season. • Virtue and Moir were honoured as the Canadian Olympic athletes of the year by CBC in December 2017. • In early May 2018, Virtue and Moir were awarded Partnership of the Year, along with pairs skaters Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford, at the 45th Sports Québec gala. • Following 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, Tessa Virtue was named one of the most famous female athletes in the world by ESPN. Virtue is the highest placed Canadian female athlete and second highest placed female winter sports athlete. • In December 2018, Virtue and Moir were inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in the Sports and Athletics category. • On November 27, 2020, Governor General of Canada named Virtue and Moir as Members of the Order of Canada. • In 2023 they were awarded the Order of Sport, marking induction into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. ==Programs==
