Gracie Gold
Gracie Gold has a name that forecasts gold, but gold that eluded her is a medal for Olympic gold. She had to be a confusing name when she was summoned to stand on the podium after winning bronze at the team event in the Winter Olympics in 2014. Gold did not compete and began coaching at the 2018 Games. It did not last, however, and soon she was back in training, intending to make the U.S. team for the Winter Olympics 2022.
Tessa Virtue
Tessa Virtue and her partner Scott Moir have skated together for more than 20 years and are the longest – standing ice dance team in Canadian history. At the beginning of her young career, Virtue was only eight years old when her coach and aunt were paired with Moir. Their accomplishments and versatility with ice and their lifelong relationships contributed to a dynamic duo winning Olympic gold in 2010 and 2018 dance competitions. At the 2014 Games, they won the silver medal. The pair stopped competing after 22 years together in 2019.
