Scott Moir is a Canadian ice dancer. He ice dances with Tessa Virtue. Moir and Virtue are the 2010 Olympic champions, the 2010 and 2012 World Champions, the 2008 & 2012 Four Continents Champions, the 2006 World Junior Champions and five-time (2008–2010, 2012-2013) Canadian national champions.
They were the first ice dance team to receive a 10.0 for a program component score under the new ISU Judging System. They are the current world record score holders for the original dance. Virtue and Moir began skating together in 1997, paired together by his aunt. Early in their career, Virtue and Moir trained in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario with Paul MacIntosh and Suzanne Killing. In the 2001–2002 seasons, Virtue / Moir won the bronze medal at the 2002 Canadian Championships at the novice level. The following season, they placed 7th at the 2003 Canadian Championships in the junior division. In 2003, they moved to Canton, Michigan and began working with coaches Igor Shpilband and Marina Zueva at the Arctic Edge Ice Arena. Virtue / Moir made their ISU Junior Grand Prix debut in the 2003–2004 ISU Junior Grand Prix. They placed 4th at the event in Croatia and 6th in Slovakia. At the 2004 Canadian Championships, they won the junior title and qualified to be part of the Canadian team at the 2004 World Junior Championships, where they placed 11th. Virtue / Moir withdrew from the 2012 Finlandia Trophy due to a slight muscle strain in Moir's neck. They were assigned to two Grand Prix events, the 2012 Skate Canada International and the 2012 Rostelecom Cup. At Skate Canada, Virtue and Moir won the short dance with a score of 65.09, only 0.01 points ahead of Anna Cappellini / Luca Lanotte of Italy. Virtue and Moir won the competition with a total score of 169.41.
At the Grand Prix Final, Virtue / Moir took the silver medal behind Davis / White. They decided to modify their "The Waltz Goes On" short dance, simplifying the storyline. Virtue and Moir debuted the modified short dance at the 2013 Canadian Figure Skating Championships, earning a score of 79.04. They won their fifth national title with a combined score of 187.19 after their Carmen-themed free dance. Virtue and Moir have toured with Stars on Ice in Canada and performed in ice shows such as Festa on Ice, Shall We Dance On Ice, All That Skate in Los Angeles and 2011 All That Skate Summer.
