Russian mentor in odd double celebration

VANCOUVER: Russian coach Marina Zoueva was wearing her Canadian jacket but had packed her American one in her bag just in case.

She was in the unusual position on Monday of being coach to the Olympic gold and silver medalists in the ice dance, champions and home favorites Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir and Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White.

She said she was in a win-win situation and next time hoped to have three sets of her students on the podium when the Games go to her home country of Russia for Sochi 2014.
