Dubreuil and Lauzon take a season off, vow to compete in Vancouver 2010

Canadian figure skating pair Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon have decided not to compete in ice dancing competitions this season, instead choosing to focus on the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The duo will continue to skate in artistic shows but will not compete on the advice of their coach. A press release quoted Lauzon as saying:
"[Coach Muriel Zazoui] feels that we are not finished with our career and that we should give the Olympics another try. So on her advice, we'll take a sabbatical and do shows, but we'll plan on doing the pre-Olympic and Olympic season."
The pair recently won gold at the Four Continents Championships in January in Colorado.
