AFP, South Korea :
Canadian ice dance figure skaters Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir smashed the short dance world record at the Olympics on Monday.
The Vancouver 2010 champions kept their French title rivals Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron at bay with a score of 83.67.
That bettered their own previous record of 82.68, and put them 1.64 points clear of their training partners Papadakis and Cizeron going into Tuesday’s free dance final.
