His words perfectly summed up the bizarre world of sports amid a global pandemic.
Moore-Towers and Marinaro scored 71.04 points for their short program to Alabama Shakes Gimme all Your Love, a skate that due to COVID-19 was recorded at their all-but-empty Oakville, Ont., home rink more than a month ago.
Moore-Towers touched a hand down, nearly falling on the landing of their throw triple loop, but the program was solid enough to give them a 10-point lead over Deanna Stellato and Maxime Deschamps (61.19 points). Lori-Ann Matte and Thierry Ferland were third after the short program with a score of 59.01.
The long program will be broadcast Saturday.

Some say if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, if life gives you potatoes, make vodka. In either case, it’s an optimistic view; 2020 tossed us a live hand grenade and told us to deal with it.
The 2019 U. S. National Pairs Champion figure skaters Ashley Cain-Gribble and her queer partner Timothy LeDuc were gliding along into 2020 in fine form. They were looking to defend their national title, with an eye on a return trip to the world championships. The top two finishers at Nationals traditionally are chosen for the World team, and in 2020 two teams were qualified based on the top-10 placement of Cain-Gribble & LeDuc at the previous 2019 world competition.
