| Publisher Description: Now updated and expanded with a new introduction, over 100 dazzling new photographs, and three all-new chapters covering the pair's stunning performances at the Sochi and PyeongChang Olympic Games and beyond. Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the world's most decorated ice dancing duo, share the incredible and inspiring story of their path to gold. From the pair's early competitions and their history-making gold medal performance at the 2010 Winter Games that established them as icons of the sport, to their spellbinding and record-setting performance at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, this beautifully illustrated book is as much a spectacular visual history as it is a behind-the-scenes look at the ascent of two of the world's premier athletes. This new edition of Tessa & Scott: Our Journey from Childhood Dream to Gold contains never-before-published personal photographs and tells for the first time the full story of Tessa and Scott's post-2010 career, including their medal-winning appearances at the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics. |
