Virtue, Moir win gold at Four Continents
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir danced their way to a gold medal on Sunday to wrap up the Four Continents figure skating event on Colorado Springs, Colo.

The Canadians were second after the short dance on Saturday, but put up the best score in Sunday’s free dance to take the title in the final major competition before the ISU world championships.

“We were pleased with our skate today and our week overall,” Virtue said in a news release. “We learned to approach our skating better, which is something we haven’t done since the Olympics. It’s skating in unison, getting into that zone and blocking all the distractions.” (Photo: Rick Wilking/Reuters)
