No one lights the figure skating world on fire like Canada's favorite duo, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir.

The veteran ice dancing team won gold again at PyeongChang 2018 with a record-breaking routine to become the most-decorated duo in the sport's history.

While essentially all of Canada was up to watch the pair take home gold, the performance also caught the attention of the rest of the world as Twitter melted down, shocked at the beauty of the sport and in disbelief that the two skaters are not romantically involved.

This just in: Scott Moir just told Tessa Virtue "you complete me". In related news, Canada will be closed for meltdown renovations until 2023.

Where should Canada put the Virtue and Moir statues, in their hometowns, or in all the hometowns

There’s a 100% chance that Tessa and Scott never pay for another drink for the rest of their lives

Me, this morning: "Who the hell are Virtue and Moir?"

Me, this evening, opening weeping and screaming at the TV: "JUST TELL TESSA YOU LOVE HER."
