Olympic Roundup: Virtue and Moir end ice dance careers with gold; Sharpe wins halfpipe
It was a golden farewell for Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir but an Olympic debut to remember for Cassie Sharpe.
In what was likely their final competitive performance, Virtue and Moir won ice dance figure skating gold at the Pyeongchang Games after scoring 122.40 points in Tuesday’s free skate for a world-best combined score of 206.07. They had also won gold in the team event earlier in the Olympics.
Freestyle skier Sharpe topped the halfpipe event in her first Olympic competition.
The two medals boosted Canada’s total to 19 (eight gold, five silver, six bronze), good for third in the overall standings. Norway leads with 29 medals followed by Germany (23).
