Sochi misstep lifts Canada to Olympic gold
Canadian ice dance star Scott Moir dazzles in Pyeongchang after "too casual" approach 4 years ago
Gangneung, South Korea
CANADA'S ice dance star Scott Moir said Monday's Olympic figure-skating team gold was inspired by the sour taste left by their too "casual" approach at Sochi four years ago. Moir with partner Tessa Virtue helped Canada live up to their mantle as favourites with a commanding win over defending champions Russia and the United States for the Winter Games' heavyweights first gold in South Korea.
Moir and his compatriots came in second best in Sochi, a defeat that the 30-year-old said was irksome for "a country born on ice".
