Canadian ice dancers Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have withdrawn from Skate Canada, according to CBC:
Virtue, 19, wasn't healthy enough to compete at the Oct. 30-Nov. 2 event after undergoing surgery to relieve pain in her shins brought on by chronic exertional compartment syndrome, a condition that stems from overtraining.
That's terrible news. The pair hopes to be ready to compete by the NHK Trophy in Japan at the end of November. This is even worse news for Skate Canada's host nation considering that Canadian pairs team Anabelle Langlois and Cody Hay withdrew from Skate Canada also. Hopefully everyone gets better soon and can compete later in the season!
