The verdict

Olympic figure skating champion who won gold with Tessa Virtue at Vancouver 2010 and PyeongChang 2018. Born in London, Ontario and raised in nearby Ilderton, trained his entire career in Canada, and is basically figure skating royalty in the Great White North. The nation collectively held its breath watching their ice dance performances, eh.
