With four of the six Grand Prix events in the books, the Canadian pair now has had two gold-medal finishes to go along with a bronze and silver.

There are still two more events on the circuit before December’s final, with stops in France and Lake Placid, N.Y., later this month.

Moir and Virtue are preparing for their third Olympic games in February. In 2010, they won gold on home ice in Vancouver, and took home bronze during the 2014 games in Russia.

The pair went undefeated during the 2016-17 season, en route to winning their third world championship. They posted a world record overall score in winning their seventh Skate Canada International title in Regina last month.
