A Canadian, Olympic figure skating duo have decided to tone down their routine, which had been described as 'risqué' and 'lustful'.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir performed an eyebrow-raising lift during their original routine, during which Scott's face got suspiciously close to Tessa's nether region.
"We wanted to make a bit of a different statement, and if that was bringing a certain edge or sexuality or darkness or a contemporary feeling to it, mission accomplished I guess," Virtue said at the Vancouver championships, according to The Canadian Press.
The pair have now modified the fairly risqué move to a more conservative one for the Olympics, according to the Toronto Star.
However, the pair have insisted that the decision wasn't made to appease broadcasters or sponsors, but to neaten up the performance and put them in a better position for winning their second gold medal.
"What it came down to actually was that when we slowed it down and looked on the video, it wasn't aesthetically that beautiful of a position, so we wanted to change it, make it a little bit better," Moir said to The Canadian Press.
His partner added: "I think we liked that it made a statement, and it was different and that was great for the start of the season, but for the overall vision of the program, we hope that this new position fits a little better."
The pair from London, Ontario, performed the new routine at the Gangneun Ice Arena in South Korea on Saturday night/Sunday morning.
The modified program also includes their short program for the team event to the Rolling Stones 'Sympathy for the Devil,' 'Hotel California' by the Eagles, and Santana's 'Oye Como Va.'
In recent interview with Hello Magazine, Virtue talked about her chemistry with skating partner Scott Moir.
"The chemistry and connection Scott and I share on the ice stems from a shared love of movement, musicality and storytelling," she explained.
"Off the ice, we are so incredibly different. That said, we have immense respect for one another, and always end up in laughing fits."
She continued: "The best part of experiencing the Olympics is always the friendships made. Team Canada has such an incredible group of fearless, courageous, fun, inspiring athletes - and we'll be forever bonded thanks to the unique experiences we have the chance to share together."
