Duhamel and Radford going back to ‘Hometown Glory’

Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford have gone back to their comfort zone in their quest for Olympic gold.

The Canadian pairs skaters decided three weeks ago to scrap their free program to music by Muse, choosing instead to skate to Adele’s “Hometown Glory,” the program that helped them capture gold at the 2016 world championships in Boston.

“With a competition and a season as important as the Olympics, you want to feel as comfortable as possible, and you want to feel you’re giving yourself the best chance to have your best skate,” Radford said.

“Of course, we want to go to the Olympics and have this beautiful moment, and when I listen to this music, and I think about the soothing quality of this program, I feel how I want to feel at the Olympics,” Duhamel added.

The idea came while skating in Stars on Ice in China over the Christmas break.

The Canadians took the ice right after Russian pairs skater Ekaterina Gordeeva, who happened to be skating to “Hometown Glory.”

“Maybe it was complete fate that we ended up in China and skating right after Ekaterina,” Duhamel said.
