MISSISSAUGA — Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir look like they’re wrestling under the sheets in their sexed-up “Carmen” free dance.
Right now, they’re grappling with a sheet with a much lower thread-count — the paper their scores are printed on.
The Olympic champs closed the Canadian figure skating championships Sunday at the Hershey Centre with their fifth senior national ice dance title, but were deducted two points for long lifts and finished with a 187.23 total, not the attention-grabbing home-ice score they anticipated.
