The gold-winning routine at Pyeongchang Olympics over the weekend by Canadian figure skaters Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir is stirring up a lot more than just national pride. In Canada and abroad, amongst figure skating fanatics and casual spectators alike, it seems that the whole world is thirsty AF over the skating pair’s flaming hot chemistry.
‘Cause there’s chemistry and then there’s whatever black magic attraction this is:
« Prodigieux. On vient de vivre un très grand moment. »@TessaVirtue et @ScottMoir ont envoûté la foule avec cette performance, selon Alain Goldberg 🇨🇦#PyeongChang2018 #RColympiques #EquipeCanada #patinageartistique #VirtueMoir@SkateCanada pic.twitter.com/JUrBI94JYM

While Virtue and Moir reportedly maintain a professional and platonic relationship, their routine in Pyeongchang, set to a cover of “Roxanne” from Moulin Rouge, has spectators in utter disbelief that these two aren’t hooking up.
Some #VirtueMoir funny facts:
In figure skating fandom, they’re the equivalent of a will-they-won’t-they fictional relationship that makes it to season 8 and still won’t hook up. So their fans write fan fiction about them and try to convince themselves it’s true!

No I’m not kidding Canada- explain yourself. Why haven’t you produced adorable #virtuemoir ice dancing infants? Wyd. Call Celine. Tell Justin to officiate. I want the proposal on ice at this Olympics. Do your job as a nation. #Olympic2018
