I have not posted or checked any posts for awhile here at Golden Skate, so I don't know if anyone else has posted this. Anyway, I just heard this news on the radio today - Virtue and Moir are making a six part tv show this winter about their preparation for the upcoming Olympics in Sochi. It's going to be about their lives on and off the ice. I am looking forward to seeing this show!

It will be interesting to see how this decision plays out.
1. It turns out to be a unwelcome distraction as they prepare for the big showdown in Sochi.
2. It turns out to be a welcome diversion, taking off some of the pressure as they prepare for the big showdown in Sochi.
A six-part series doesn't sound like it would be non-invasive.
