Helene Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 In the (minimum) 3-kilo, souvenir book that Vanoc produced after the Vancouver Olympics and which was delivered today, there is a two-page spread on gold medalists Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. The quote that is printed on the full-page photo of the Olympic champions is from Gia Kourlas: As Virtue and Moir skated, they seemed two bodies expelling one long, sensuous breath. In the context of the article, Kourlas, who trained as a figure skater, uses the pair as a contrast to what she bemoans about lack of sophistication in the discipline. (The article is mainly a long moan about the demise of the sport.) Her quote appears at the end of page two: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/27/arts/dance/27skating.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 Link to comment
