Team Canada's Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir 'Toned Down' Their 'Risque' Free Program For The Olympics

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are ice dance royalty and their programs are always the kind that you have to stop everything you’re doing and just watch.

Last night, the ice dance team performed their Moulin Rouge “Roxanne” program at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics for the team event — securing that gold medal — but something was a little different about it.

Turns out, Tessa and Scott actually “toned down” the program for the Olympics.

“What it came down to actually was that when we slowed it down and looked on the video, [the lift] wasn’t aesthetically that beautiful of a position, so we wanted to change it, make it a little bit better,” Scott shared with The Star.

The lift has Tessa‘s lower regions right in Scott‘s face. Now, in the modified lift, Tessa only straddles Scott‘s shoulders for a brief moment before dipping one knee down and then dismounting.

“We wanted to make a bit of a different statement, and if that was bringing a certain edge or sexuality or darkness or a contemporary feeling to it, mission accomplished I guess,” Tessa adds.
