“We’re probably the most annoying story in Canadian sports saying we don’t know what’s next,” Moir, the 27-year-old from Ilderton, said, “but we’re being honest. We have days we wake up and say, ‘Yeah, we need another (Olympic) shot’. There are other days we love doing these other parts of our lives. I don’t think we’ll ever lose that feeling of wanting to be at the Olympic Games and represent Canada. I’ll feel that way for the rest of my life.”
They understand, after taking a year away from the daily training grind, the target must be the 2016-17 skating season, at the latest. That would give them one full campaign of Grand Prix and world competition before the 2018 Olympics set for Pyeongchang, Korea.
“We have to be realistic,” Moir said. “We’re not coming back unless it’s to become Olympic champions again. If we’re in, we’re in. You’ll see in the next eight months or so getting into better shape than I was at the (last) Games so I’m ready to pounce if that’s an option.
“There’s no way it’ll be me being fat and out of shape holding us back.”
