Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have always been compared to the legendary British ice dance team of Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, who revolutionized the sport more than 25 years ago.

With Virtue and Mori's gold-medal win, debates over the accomplishments of both couples will heat up among figure skating fans and Olympic historians.
