The skating addiction and ability to this sport most likely went to Moira Scott from her mother, who was a speed skating coach.
Scott has two brothers, whose name is Danny and Charlie. By the way, they are also fond of figure skating. In 2001, Danny even became the winner of the Junior World Cup.
Scott and Tessa began to train together, as mentioned above, at an early age, namely since 1997. In addition to training on ice, they are good friends in everyday life. They even live very close to each other, literally through several houses.
Such close friendships help them in their sports activities, since in the dance it is very important that the partners deeply feel each other.
Such close relations of partners give rise to a lot of rumors and gossip. The media is constantly reporting that Scott and Tessa were married, but there is still no official confirmation of these reports.
Nevertheless, young people clearly maintain an extremely warm relationship, where friendship borders on a love affair, and the line between them is very thin. Often, media representatives notice them hugging outside the training ground.
The series "Tessa and Scott"
The popularity of these young people in the world of sports and show business in Canada and the USA is so great that they even shot a separate multi-part reality show called Tessa and Scott (2014). Oddly enough, but the show is in great demand in the guys’homeland, and its ratings are very high.
At the moment there are already two seasons, and perhaps there will be a sequel. This TV series is autobiographical and genre refers to documentary films. However, there are many points that are clearly staged.
The series is replete with scenes taken during the training of a young pair of skaters. Beautiful dance footage and episodes make the show more eventful and visually attractive. However, the emphasis in the project is not so much on the sports component, but on a more complete disclosure of the characters of the main characters, their personality, feelings, problems, etc.
Thus, this project provides an opportunity for figure skating enthusiasts to learn a little more about their idols, and fans of such shows to plunge into the world of dancing and choreography on ice.
