BEVERLEY SMITH
MISSISSAUGA, Ont.—The Associated Press Published Thursday, Sep. 08, 2011 4:54PM EDT Last updated Thursday, Sep. 08, 2011 4:55PM EDT The rink is frigid, the handful of official onlookers buried in their official papers. But in this frosty milieu, Canada’s young but storied ice dancers, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, are showing that they are ready to break loose again, and regain the world championship title they lost last year. Virtue and Moir, the dominant Olympic champions of Vancouver, showed off their new programs in front of Skate Canada monitors and judges Thursday, who peered through the frost and wrote notes with gloved hands at a national training camp. The camp unofficially signals the start of the figure skating season as skaters prepare for Grand Prix events, national championships and eventually the world championships in Nice, France in March, 2012. |
