Seriously? Yipes.
The readers' comments below the article were about what one would expect. I guess all those disbelieving Toronto Globe and Mail readers have never seen Lloyd Eisler or Elvis Stojko up close, if they think that figure skaters are wimpy.

Haha, I wonder which skaters they were, and if they were male or female.

I won't be impressed until they set some police cars on fire.
Would Patrick even stay at the "official" hotel (assuming that this took place there)? A lot of top-notch skaters opt for other hotels due to privacy concerns.Mr. Slipchuk emphasized that the incident didn’t involve “any of our notable or high-profile team members. Our top skaters do not get involved in things like that.”
This story can go viral.
It is the next Tonya-Nancy saga!
LOL
Another article cites a number: "... eight Skate Canada members got into a fight." [It seems to use "Skate Canada members" as a synonym for "skaters".]
Rumour has it that one skater claimed the other skater's skirt was too short and her panties too skimpy; the other retorted that her spandex was too tight and the next thing you know bugle beads and sequins were all over the place with bad splices of Carmen, Masquerade Waltz, and Les Mis left all over the floor.

The weekend spectacle concluded on a bizarre note with reports there had been an incident involving skaters at their nearby hotel. A noise complaint to hotel management resulted in a warning to tone down celebrations following Saturday night’s competition. When that didn’t happen, police were summoned, though nobody was charged, according to Skate Canada spokesperson Barb McDonald.
She flatly denied that tiny Moore-Towers was one of the culprits, as had been rumoured. McDonald said she could not confirm the names of the other skaters involved, nor whether the noisy celebrants had been kicked out of the hotel.
There are code of conduct protocols for figure skaters.
“We’re a little disappointed that it got out of hand,” said McDonald. “As we find out more information, we will take appropriate consequences once we have all details, as it affects any of our skaters.”
Rowdy figure skaters, oh my.
lol!
hahahahaha!
It's Canada. They have a riot and trash their own cities when their hockey team loses. Even figure skaters are not immune.
Just imagine the scene when Chan loses to Takahashi at Worlds.
