Although the major question here is that what made the duo pull out of the championship at the eleventh hour? Their performance in the Beijing Winter Olympics had certainly not been great, but they had a pretty good chance of winning the championship in France.
Why did Kirsten Moore-Towers not compete in World Figure Skating Championship?
The Canadian Figure Skater revealed that the gymnastics legend Simone Biles inspired her to decide upon what’s best for her at this moment. She gave a reference of Simone Biles’ Tokyo Olympic decision and said, “If someone like Simone Biles can come forward and say ‘I just can’t do it,’ it made me feel so much less alone and less ashamed really of my own thoughts.”
