Their final medal win was bittersweet for both skaters, as the momentous occasion also marked the end of their competitive skating careers. Virtue, who recently stopped by for a quick chat, reflects on the PyeongChang Games and adapting to her new life away from the rink in the video above.
“I’m not sure that you’re ever ready for the crash that follows such an extreme high,” said Virtue. “That was the pinnacle, that was what every athlete dreams of, it was a fairy tale.”
What a Spectacular, Spectacular year it has been ❤️🇨🇦
