Next up, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir teleconference. #CTNSC17
Scott Moir says he and Tessa Virtue are pleased w/their season thus far. More lessons to be learned. Eager to match up w/Canadian talent.
Moir/Virtue excited to return to Canadian Championships and aren't taking lightly. #CTNSC17
Virtue says how neat they've been at this for so long and they still get to be students every single day. Gaining insight is exciting.
Virtue says they're working on a different style of skating. She and Moir are pushing themselves every single day. #CTNSC17
When Virtue and Moir competed at 2006 Canadian Championships in Ottawa, their now coaches were the champions. #CTNSC17
Moir said they looked up to Dubreuil and Lauzon in 2006 and still do now. #CTNSC17
"We've been welcomed back very graciously," said Tessa Virtue. #CTNSC17
One of the reasons they picked Dubreuil and Lauzon as their coaches is their vision. Trying to get more run of the blade. #CTNSC17
"All part of the magic of training," said Moir. #CTNSC17
Moir said he and Virtue felt pressure at their early competitions. Time off changes how you view things. #CTNSC17
"That's the fun of it." "It's exciting to go to a competition and have so much pressure." Scott Moir #CTNSC17
Virtue says there have been minor tweaks to the free dance. They've been working with an artistic coach from Cirque du Soleil. #CTNSC17
After concentration on technical elements early in the season, now they're working on the emotional elements they want to portray. #CTNSC17
As a young athlete, you don't necessarily understand everything, said Moir. The GP Final was really exciting and appreciated. #CTNSC17
"We want people feeling what we want to portray," says Virtue. Hoping it will continue to grow until Worlds. #CTNSC17
Pressure to make sure they stick to their plan. When they execute they expect to win. #CTNSC17
The difference in their new training locale is Dubreuil and Lauzon's philosophy. Also, off-ice support is excellent. Everyone integrated.
"Every time the Leafs are in town, we're not here," said Moir, much to his disappointment.
Both @tessavirtue and @ScottMoir are working on their French. #CTNSC17
Virtue says no awkwardness w/Weaver/Poje. Longtime friends. "We know they're going to deliver excellent performances in Ottawa." #CTNSC17
"This will be the 1st time we've come up against them since we retired....We haven't pushed them down." Scott Moir #CTNSC17
"We fully expect them to bring everything they have next week and we will do the same." said Moir #CTNSC17
If they qualify, @tessavirtue and @ScottMoir said they will go to Four Continents. #CTNSC17
Virtue says they're trying to amalgamate their old mindset w/what they learned in show skating. It's a work in progress. #CTNSC17
"We decided to be back in this position and embrace all that comes with competition," Virtue. #CTNSC17
