Canadian ice dancing duo Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir won over hearts around the world (not to mention a pair of gold medals) during their final Olympic run in Pyeongchang, but before they return home, they’ll pay homage to another great Canuck.

The decorated duo will perform a routine to the Tragically Hip‘s “Long Time Running” in tribute to the late Gord Downie at this Sunday’s (February 25) figure skating exhibition gala. The traditional Olympic-closing event features performances by the sport’s medal winners, uninhibited by typical competition rules.

“When I think about Gord and I think about the Hip and what they’ve been able to do, it’s kind of the soundtrack to being Canadian almost,” Moir told the Canadian Press. “It’s special for us that we get to skate to the Hip, and it’s our tribute to one of my heroes and a guy who was so wonderfully weird, and just how he embraced life.”
