Saucy, am I making it up or is there an interview/comments out there somewhere about Scott being with Tessa when she woke up from her second surgery?
That was both a long and predictably bizarre trip down Fan Forum memory lane trying to find the quote lol. I knew the era but wasn’t sure specifically and wowzee that was a wild ride. Don’t know if there’s an active link anymore to an article, but it was copy and pasted to the site.
Surgery Isn’t Holding Virtue Back// Winnipeg Sun
They don't come any tougher than Tessa Virtue.
Hardly a day or night went by where her legs weren't in pain as she and Scott Moir ice danced to Olympic gold glory at Vancouver in February.
"It was pretty constant," the 21-year-old Londoner said Friday en route to Kingston to watch Skate Canada International this weekend. "Even just walking for 10-15 minutes, I'd feel it. I knew something was wrong but I really just tried to deny the pain, even to myself.
"It wasn't really diagnosed. I just tried to shut it out and skate."
Earlier this month, Virtue underwent surgery in London for the second time in three years related to chronic exertional compartment syndrome in her shins and calves.
Going under the knife again has put her skating season in jeopardy. However, the stakes aren't nearly as high as they were in the year leading up to the Olympics.
"I'm not looking that far ahead (to 2011 nationals in Victoria, B.C., or worlds in Nagano, Japan. March 21-27)," Virtue said. "Right now, I'm looking forward to feeling healthy again. That's my goal, to take some time and heal. It's basically been go-go-go since we won. We had a little bit of time off but not a lot so this might end up turning into a blessing in disguise."
Virtue's original surgery in 2008 allowed her to continue competing at the highest level. This most recent one was to reduce the lingering pain she felt as a result of the compartment syndrome.
"The first one, because of the timing, I tried to get back as soon as I could," she said. "I didn't want to disappoint anyone. This time, it's a bit of a different situation."
The next Olympics aren't until 2014 in Sochi, Russia.
Her partner Moir, the 23-year-old Ilderton native, was at Virtue's bedside when she woke up in the hospital recovery room.
"It was great to see him there," she said. "When you're leaving the hospital, it's nice to have someone there who's used to lifting you."
Kevin Willits, a Fowler-Kennedy Clinic surgeon, performed both of Virtue's surgery. He's also a Western Mustangs football assistant coach.
"The Mustangs football team won the weekend before my surgery," Virtue said, "so I felt like he was going into the surgery in a good mood, which I felt good about."
Moir took a week off before returning to solo training at the Arctic Figure Skating Club in Canton, Mich., in case the couple returns to action later in the season.
"I know he's doing a lot of off-ice training but I don't know if he is (skating with a hockey stick or sandbag as a partner like last time)," Virtue said with a laugh. "I don't want to know."
This summer, Virtue and Moir were committed to launching a new campaign with fresh programs and defending their world title. But Virtue's pain continued through a pre-season high-performance camp at Mississauga in September and Skate Canada's new chief medical officer Marni Wesner ordered additional tests.
Increased pressure levels in her calves from the compartment syndrome were discovered. The decision was made to undergo surgery now rather than following this season.
"I'm still taking classes at University of Windsor so it's allowed me to focus more on that," she said, "and I'm going to cheer on the rest of the Canadian skaters. I'm still working hard to get healthy. I just had a three-and-a-half hour session at Fowler-Kennedy and with my physical therapist (Mary Brannagan) in Windsor, I'm in really good hands."
Virtue and Moir will continue to engage their off-ice commitments.
The duo has a Steve Milton-penned book set to launch called "Tessa and Scott: Our Journey from Childhood to Gold."
"It was really special for Scott and I to sit down and re-live a lot of the things we went through that we never really had a chance to discuss even with ourselves," she said. "It was a fun experience."

Daft Punk said something to me that blew me away. They said they wanted to do an album as if the internet never existed. I said, "oh, old school!" It was certainly the most rewarding to have been involved in a project that was so monumental to my life. Winning my first Grammy was amazing to me. It's become a great learning experience for me, after Daft Punk. I started playing with much younger artists. No one is my age, I'm 70! Charli XCX, Burna Boy. I just recorded my first k-pop record, and now I've got like five under my belt and they're huge. Life was one way before Random Access Memories and completely different after. — Nile Rodgers

anyways i genuinely and deeply believe that seb is one of the best, well-rounded, most talented racing drivers currently active and i think no matter where he was racing, he'd adapt within less than one season. he's incredibly versatile, everyone who has worked with him praises his quick understanding, intelligence and detailed feedback. he's a genius on track and seizes every opportunity he can and any team across all of motorsport recognizes his talent. so many other drivers know him to be courteous and friendly and so many racing series want to win him (and the fanbase and recognition that comes with him) to drive for them. It's clear that once a team is genuinely happy to have him and listens to him, he's a major force that very few other drivers could come up against.
