The London Free Press has put out a $3 Canadian book on Virtue & Moir, with lots of pictures (about 40, I think?) for Worlds. Since links to commercial operations are not allowed on GS, I won't post a link, but no one should suppose that the London FP is not publishing articles about V&M, too, in order to fully take advantage of the " make hay while the sun shines" opportunity of having Worlds in London.
I have to agree that Ryan Pyotte did a decent job here-Meryl's Canadian grandma & family are not part of D&W's media bio. If it were, it would have come out for the Olympics, or last year at the GPF in Quebec. It's quite common for Canadian (and for that matter, American) jounalists & commentators to tell us when skaters have roots in their countries, or in countries where they are competing. I'm thinking of Tanith Belbin, Piper Gilles, the Duchesnays, Kharis Ralph (who has Washington, DC, connections), and for that matter, Lukas Kaugars, and whether they have even spent significant time in a country (for example Lucinda Ruh in Japan)
