• Virtue-Moir win ice dance at worlds: Olympic ice dance champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada won the world figure skating title Thursday in Nice, France, reversing last year’s result by beating defending champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the U.S. Virtue and Moir, who captured the worlds and Olympic crown two years ago, took the free dance after finishing first in Wednesday’s short dance. Earlier, Alena Leonova of Russia nailed all her jumps to win the women’s short program ahead of Japanese teenager Kanako Murakami and European champion Carolina Kostner of Italy.
