OTTAWA -- If competing under the pressure of their final pre-Olympic performance was the perfect test for Sochi, Scott Moir gave a failing grade Friday. "We didnt perform under that pressure as well as wed like to," Moir said. Moir and partner Tessa Virtue won the short dance at the Canadian figure skating championships, but the defending Olympic champions werent thrilled with their performance, admitting to considerable pressure competing in front of a Canadian crowd for what will likely be the last time. And less than a month out from the Games, nothing short of perfect is good enough. "Weve been training and practising kind of lights-out and Tessa and I, were really perfectionists and it felt like we had a couple moments today that just werent the way wed been training," Moir said. "Thats probably the emotion you see on our faces." Virtue and Moir earned 76.16 points for their jazz-infused skate to music by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, but lost marks for holding a rotational lift for too long. In the lift in question, Virtue lies on her back across a spinning Moirs shoulders. There were a few other small missteps as well. "Just technical things," Moir explained. "I felt like I was a battling a little with my knees today, wasnt quite under the ice. . . maybe I was watching world junior (hockey) highlights or something." Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje of Waterloo, Ont., were second with 72.68, while Alexandra Paul of Toronto and Mitchell Islam of Barrie, Ont., were third with 67.67. Canada, which will name its Olympic team Sunday, has three ice dancing berths at the Sochi Games. Virtue admitted the two are being tougher on themselves with the Games so close. "Im sure a lot of people around will think Oh dont be so negative," Virtue said. "There are a lot of positives to take from (the program). Its just the place we are in our season, its all about process, its all about trying to achieve the highest quality of performance possible, so were always trying to get that." Virtue, from London, Ont., and Moir, from Ilderton, Ont., have been living and training in a bubble of sorts the past few weeks in Canton, Mich., making a strategic decision to block out almost everything Olympic-related. They used the same approach leading into the 2010 Vancouver Games. "Its nice when were in the States because we dont see anything, about anything Canadian," Virtue said. Theyre not even watching their own show -- the W Networks "Tessa & Scott" -- which is two episodes into the seven-episode series. "Its just too much us," Moir said. "Its so close to the Games, we sort of lived it already, we dont want to go back and feel the things we were feeling in August and September, especially just a few weeks short of the Olympics," Virtue added. "Were in such a great place now. . . its better for us to block everything out and focus on every day."

Canadas strong showing throughout the World Cup season has qualified it for the maximum number of spots in every short-track speedskating event at the Sochi Games in February. "With the beginning to the season that Ive had, beginning with the Canadian trials in August, I have nothing to doubt in myself.SOFIA, Bulgaria -- Madeline Edwards of Port Moody, B.C., and Zhao Kai Pang of Burnaby, B.C., won the bronze medal in ice dancing Friday at the ISU world junior figure skating championships. Americans Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker took the gold with 157.12 points. They edged Russians Anna Yanovskaya and Sergey Mozgov in second at 155.16. Edwards and Pang, fifth after the short program, earned the third best free dance score to climb into the medals with 139.65. "It was a really emotional free dance," said Pang. "We didnt leave anything out. We put it all on the ice and we were really happy with the way we skated. We were gassed at the end." Edwards and Pang werre 12th last year at junior worlds "We could not be more excited with our placement," said Edwards.dddddddddddd "Last year I remember watching the podium at junior worlds and just thinking that we want our flag to be up there and how cool would that be to be on the podium. And to see that come true was just amazing." Mackenzie Bent of Uxbridge, Ont., and Garrett MacKeen of Oshawa, Ont., were 12th. In womens competition Alaine Chartrand of Prescott, Ont., eighth at the world juniors last year, is seventh after the short program. Larkyn Austman of Coquitlam, B.C., the 2013 Canadian junior champion, is 18th. Russia stands 1-2-3 led by Elena Radionova. ' ' '
