Tessa Virtue Was 'Humbled' To Receive A Top Canadian Award & Got Nostalgic About Scott Moir

"Jumping back into that world with Scott was just extraordinary."

October 20, 2023

Olympic skater Tessa Virtue is getting sentimental about her former partnership and career with Scott Moir.

The athletic duo started skating together when they were just kids and went on to win five Olympic medals together. Now they're being recognized with an incredible Canadian honour.

Virtue and Moir were inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Gatineau, Quebec on Thursday and it's caused Virtue to take a step back and reflect.

In an interview on Friday from the airport, Virtue expressed how grateful she was for the recognition.

"It's an incredible honour to be recognized by your peers in such a meaningful and significant way is so humbling and rewarding," she told Narcity.

"It's interesting Scott and I were reflecting in that it's not one of those goals you ever set. We wanted to win and we wanted to try new programs and experiment and you know, kind of make our mark on the international scene and yet we never thought about awards and accolades like Canada's Sports Hall of Fame."

Leading up to the ceremony, Virtue shared photos and videos on her Instagram of her and Moir and their different "eras" during their 20+ year-long partnership.

"It's been such a fun-filled week of reflection and kind of taking a walk down memory lane," she said.

"Jumping back into that world with Scott was just extraordinary."

When we asked her to choose her favourite era, Virtue said two really stuck out to her.

"When I look at the two of us at seven and nine, starting out with such innocence and naivety and this purity of our approach to sport there's just something so beautiful about seeing that," she explained.

"I have a really soft spot in my heart for those young kids who had no idea what was ahead of them."

However, she said their time at the PyeongChang Olympics in 2018, during which the skaters became the most decorated figure skates in Olympic history, is a career highlight.

"The PyeongChang portion of our career, it's hard to compete with that," she told Narcity.

"Not only because of how things transpired, but I think more importantly, just the autonomy we had. The team we had surrounding us it really felt like we finally found our rhythm of optimizing performance and tapping into that potential."

Since then, many Canadians (myself included) were sad to hear they were retiring in 2019.

However, Virtue says she hasn't hung up her skates and she is still involved in some capacity in the sport she's always loved.

The skating icon mentors a team that recently competed at the Olympics and meets with them weekly in Montreal.

"It's more strategy-based, mental performance, structuring their team focusing on energy management, so it's maybe in a different capacity, but I love staying involved that way."

The Canadian ice skater currently works for Deloitte and says she recently even got to incorporate her love of sports when she worked on a project that created "safe sports principles across Canada."

"I was sort of chuckling because I thought, well, what a unique way of coming at these issues from a very corporate standpoint," she told Narcity.

"I'm definitely still involved in sport, it might not look as maybe the trajectory people might have guessed, but I'm certainly still involved."

This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

Last question, who are your fav downwolders and why?

Ahh… well it has to be….

The one….

The only….

💫Magnus Bane! 🥂

Queue the music!

Now. Reasons reasons reasons. Where to begin.

I took my time thinking about this question bc there are quite a few downworlders I have an affinity to. But the showdown where it was REALLY hard to pick one or the other was the battle of the warlocks…

Tessa or Magnus.

On the one hand, I love Tessa So much (wrote a piece on why you can find here hehe) and I truly think she is a timeless character (well before she became literally timeless ie. immortal) and her influence throughout the shadowhunter world is iconic, relevant and enduring.

(Art credit: @giannyfili )

However… her choices and inner narrative became a bit clumsy dealt with and a bit inconsistent unlike Magnus’s, as the shadowhunter novels went on. Of course, characters are allowed to change, grow, develop at any age, but her character felt slightly manipulated in the writing? All for the sake of peddling the plot. Not to get TOO into the whole herongraystairs touchy topic but I do think as I’ve grown up and done over a handful of rereads I do spot the slight manipulation that started then, which kind of set a precedence in her character throughout. I adore Jem but he as well was felt a bit clumsily. Topic for another time.

Meanwhile Magnus, while through his own self discoveries and through his own immortalities feels more cleaner in plot. He’s necessary, vibrant, witty and is that character that you ALWAYS look forward to reading. He is That character that just lights up a room and you wait with baited breath on what he’s going to say next. His air of lightness that he brings into every interaction makes you be able to read and listen to him all day long. With long promises made of laughter, sage advice, experience, history and adventure.

“I've got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?""A regrettable choice of words," muttered Magnus (City of Ashes).

And because of this, when he is being serious, his words strike you when you least expect it and leave you stunned.

“You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it. That is All” (Clockwork Princess).

His bisexuality was handled wonderfully, and was truly one of the first stories I think our generation read where the sexual identity wasn’t about coming out but already at the stage of acceptance and fun loving. He remains respectful and doesn’t want Alec to rush out of the closet but rather does the best thing- inspire Alec to be the best version of himself in life which is finite. That’s the best thing a partner can really do for you.

However he isn’t a Mary Sue bc in every series he stars in the reader sees his vulnerabilities in pure daylight. And also has a plot line that challenges his Yodha immortal dogmas. Will being one weakness of his in TID, Camille and how she mistreated him and being alone in a very sad world. I don’t think these topics were explored nearly as well with Tessa.

“You left me. You made a pet out of me, and then you left me. If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me” (City of Fallen Angels).

And of course, his relationship and development with Alec is my top 3 relationships in all the shadowhunter world. It felt natural, wonderful, sizzling, exciting and steadfast. Didn’t feel too young or naive like I sometimes feel when reading Clace, but new enough to feel like the honeymoon will never end. And I think in part it’s because of Magnus bringing out the best in people, and how Alec chose him. Of all the people Magnus helps out, he actually doesn’t really ask much in return. But for once Alec did a double take on him and let Magnus take the reins of where their relationship will lead them. With great readership payoff 🥹💍

“You could give me the past,“ he said a little sadly. “But Alec is my future” (City of Fallen Angels).

(Art credit: kasirose)

In fact, he has SO much to offer we got standalones, his own mini series with his partner and constant features in further novellas stories. There is no other character in the Shadowhunter chronicles who has been that centre stage as him. And he deserves all of it.

Favourite Swiftie songs that r HIS:

• BEJEWELED

• Begin Again

• Welcome to New York

• You’re in Love

• Karma

• You’re Not Sorry

• Ours

• I Know Places

• You’re on Your Kid

• Castles Crumbling

• The Last Great American Dynasty

• The 1

• Hoax

So yeah the superlative for the best Downworlder has to go to the delightfully and wonderfully written…

Magnus Bane <3

So yeah! I hope the answer makes up for the wait @imabitchforjemcarstairs ILY! And thank you so much for the lovely ask!

P.s. if any artist doesnt want to be affiliated, kindly DM me and I’ll remove your lovely art and mention from the post :))
