Canadian ice dance stars Virtue, Moir make successful return to competition
MONTREAL — Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir were all smiles after their first competitive skate in more than two and half years.
The Canadian ice dance duo skated in their first meet since taking silver at the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia on Thursday night at the Skate Canada Autumn Classic International at the Pierrefonds Sportplexe.
The two are looking to recapture the form that made them the darlings of the 2010 Vancouver Games, where they won a gold medal.
“Today was all about how much we miss it in so many ways,” said Moir, of Ilderton, Ont. “There was a bit of the jitters, but backstage and during warmup we were enjoying ourselves.
