Tessa and Scott are the most successful Canadian ice dance team in history, being the first North Americans to win the Olympic Gold Medal for ice dance at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. They were also the youngest, and the first team to win a gold medal at their first Olympic Games. In addition to their three Olympic medals, they have won four World Championships (three senior and one junior), three Four Continents Championships, eight Canadian Championships (seven senior and one junior), and six Skate Canada International titles. Additionally, they currently hold world records for highest score in original and short dance, as well as combined total score. In February, 2018, the pair earned two gold medals – and the hearts of Canadians, and people around the world – at the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Interesting Facts

Tessa and Scott’s ice dance partnership spans more than 20 years.

Scott started skating at the age of three because his mom was at the arena all the time. Tessa started skating when she was six because she didn’t want to be the only one in her class who couldn’t skate.
