Canada’s team for world championships loaded with previous gold medallists
OTTAWA — Canada’s team for the world figure championships boasts 17 world medals between them.
With the return of ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, along with Patrick Chan and pairs skaters Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford, Canada will send one of its strongest teams ever to the world championships in Helsinki in March.
The team was named Sunday after the Canadian figure skating championships.
“It was a great week,” said Skate Canada’s high performance director Mike Slipchuk. “When it came time to select the team, it was pretty clear. It was nice to see our defending champions skate the way they did.”
