Russia slowly picking up the pace, on Monday, Russian free dance duo grabbed a silver medal for the Olympic Athlete from Russia.&nbsp;Evgenia Medvedeva and Alina Zagitova took their first silver of the Games&nbsp;at the Gangneung Ice Arena.&nbsp;Till Sunday Russia had won just a bronze.

On the other hand, ice dance stars Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir inspired Canada to the figure skating team title to secure the Winter Games heavyweights&#39; first gold at Pyeongchang 2018 on Monday.&nbsp;

Competing in their third Olympics, Virtue and Moir earned a maximum 10 points for their short&nbsp;programme&nbsp;and matched that in the concluding free with an exhilarating four-and-a-half minute performance to the music of Moulin Rouge.
