Canadian figure skating star Tessa Virtue is getting a Barbie made in her likeness.
Virtue and Moir ended the Pyeongchang Games as the most decorated figure skaters in Olympic history with three gold and two silver medals and were named The Canadian Press team of the year for 2018.
The Barbie website calls Virtue "one-half of a team known for their legendary elegance, athleticism, innovation, and their unparalleled ability to skate in unison." "The Barbie role model program is Mattel’s way of honouring women who are breaking boundaries to inspire the next generation of girls. Tessa, like other honourees, was chosen because through hard work, determination and dedication, she shows girls every day that you can be anything," Lisa Perry, brand manager for Mattel Canada, said in a statement.
