2018 Winter Olympics: Canadian skating couples continue to break the world record
With outstanding performance in free content, Canadian figure skating athletes Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir won their second gold medal at the 2018 Olympic Games and continue to set a new world record.
The audience at the Figure Skating House and Gangneung speed on 20.2 continually witnessed the screen to pour spectacular scores in free content. The first is a record score of 205.28 points for French couple Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron after the free competition. No longer having trouble due to the difficult outfit incident during the short show on the previous day, Papdakis had an impressive competition with Cizeron and almost everyone believed that Gold medal belonged to them.
But just a few minutes later, on the Moulin Rouge music scene, Canadian duo Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir made a miracle to win a total score of 206.07 points, shedding world record points that were just double French athletes established 15 minutes earlier. “We do not know what the future will be, but right now, we feel like we have come close to the end of our career”, Moir said after making a miracle.
This feat is even more significant because before this year’s event, Virtue and Moir said that PyeongChang 2018 could be the last Olympics in their career. “We are proud of the achievements achieved at this tournament. We have completed our goal of winning gold medals, but we must say that this time is really a tough competition. We especially respect Gabriella and Guillaume pairs, so it’s fun to be able to overturn the situation”, Moir said.
The pair of Canadian athletes won the gold medal in the Winter Olympics eight years ago and dominated the ice skating rink since returning to play after the Winter Olympic Games 2014. In last week’s team content, they also helped Canada. won the gold medal.
Meanwhile, it is unfortunate for the Papadakis and Cizeron pair because if there is no costume problem at the short short test then the HCV may already belong to them. In the free section, with a total of 192, 59, two American brothers Maia and Alex Shibutani won bronze.
