“Thank God my partner is awesome,” Moir said. “She had a really funny joke as soon as I got back up that snapped me back into character. She said, ‘That was a very dramatic movement.’ I kind of smiled out of the corner of my mouth. I thought that that was super-cute. She gave me a couple more of these (arm squeezes) during the program.

Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir were at their best when it mattered most, in the final portion of the ice dance competition at the world figure skating championships in Los Angeles on Friday night.

‘The Canadians captured the mood of the dance perfectly and their elements were executed with confidence and style.’

They won the compulsory dance at the 2010 world figure skating championships, performing the toughest and longest one of all - the Golden Waltz - and almost exulting in the fact that it could be the last compulsory dance ever held at a high-level skating competition.

Is it too late to say I'm sorry now

‘they have an elegant upright, light airy look, and they have the best interpretation of the rhythms required’

"They chose a program that wasn't typical," CBC figure skating analyst Kurt Browning said. "They chose lifts that weren't easy. It will help them for the Olympics next year."

“Virtue and Moir handily won the 2014 National Skating Championships admist considerable pressure competing in front of a Canadian crowd for what will likely be the last time.”
