Ice dancers Virtue of London, Ont., and Moir of Ilderton, Ont., won two Olympic gold medals and one silver as well as three world titles during their career
OTTAWA — Decorated ice dance duo Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir and mixed martial arts star Georges St-Pierre were among the 2023 inductees named to Canada's Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday.
Since 2019, inductees have received the Order of Sport from the Hall for their role in building Canada through sport."It's so exciting and moving and overwhelming. You know, now that we're a few years post retirement, you don't think of the accolades coming in the same way," she said. "So to to be recognized for our accomplishments in sport and to have the benefit of having a little bit of perspective on our career is so delightful. It's just an incredible honour.
"There's a lot of teams in Canada that should deservedly be in the hall alongside us, and unfortunately there's not a lot of curlers in there and I'd like to see that change in the future." Bomberry was named top catcher, batter and player in 1967 and top catcher in 1968 at the national championships. She retired in 1976 and died in 2019.
Born in Tokyo, Nakamura moved to Montreal in 1968 and began building a successful competitive training program. He established the Shidokan Judo Club in 1973 and coached Canadians through 13 world championships and five Olympic Games.
