MISSISSAUGA, ONT. - Tom Watson finished second at the British Open at 59.

George Foreman was heavyweight champion at 45.

So why shouldn't three-time Canadian men's figure skating champ Emanuel Sandhu, who still fits into the skating outfit he wore at age 15, believe he can do some damage in his first crack at nationals after a six-year hiatus this week at Mississauga's Hershey Centre?

“I had unfinished business with the sport,” the 32-year-old said. “I remember getting up one time and saying, 'What am I doing – this is super crazy'. I really missed being on the ice. Doing shows isn't enough for me. I found when I stopped skating in '07, I wasn't exactly enjoying myself and my time on the ice.
