CANADIAN PAIR WIN WITHOUT ‘ PORNO’ MOVE

-

Canadian figure skating pair of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir clinched gold at the Winter Olympic in PyeongChan­g after toning down their “porno” routine. After competing at the Canadian skating nationals earlier this month, the duo had to change their Moulin Rouge- inspired performanc­e after it was said to be too raunchy. But with Virtue’s legs wrapped around Moir’s neck for much of the performanc­e, it could easily be argued they were still getting viewers a little hot under the collar. Virtue still got into a provocativ­e position but held it only briefly, whereas before she would position her body near Moir’s face for longer. When asked by the press after the nationals what he thought of his routine, Moir replied: “Porno”. Though they altered their dance slightly in PyeongChan­g, the pair still raced to their second gold medal in the Winter Olympics after claiming the top gong in the ice dancing event in 2010.
