Olympic figure skating champion Roman Kostomarov said the dance duo Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir was ahead of its time and broke the stereotype that dancing is only done as an adult.
On Saturday, December 2, an open dialogue “Iron Will and Technologies for Life” takes place with Kostomarov within the framework of the “Russia” forum in the “Made by Us” pavilion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Federation from Russia to VDNKh. Since January this year, the skater has suffered several amputations after being hospitalized.
— Who were your idols?
– Everyone has different skating styles – one has a smooth glide, others have overflowing emotions, I tried to take the best qualities from everyone. For example, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean. They were idols for all dancers.
Then came the couple Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir, they were many years ahead of their time. They are among the first ice dancers to break the stereotype that people under the age of 30 win at ice dancing. They refuted it and were ahead of their time. They have become great athletes,” reports the correspondent.
Virtue and Moir are three-time Olympic champions and three-time world champions. The Canadians completed their performances after the 2017/18 season.
