Three time world champion figure skater Patrick Chan will be competing at the Skate Canada competition here in Saint John.
He says he's been training hard in Chicago doing his routine every day and getting himself in the correct mental space---and he thinks the gay controversy in Sochi shouldn't overshadow what the Olympics are all about.
Chan says as long as someone is a world class skater and can give him a run for his money he thinks their sexual orientation shouldn't make any difference whatsoever in how they are treated in Russia.
