Dylan David Moscovitch[1] (born 23 September 1984) is a Canadian pair skater who competes with Lubov Iliushechkina. With former partner Kirsten Moore-Towers, he is the 2013 Four Continents silver medalist, 2014 Olympic team event silver medalist, and 2011 Canadian national champion.
Personal life
Moscovitch is Jewish.[2][3] His mother is a midwife from South Africa, his father is an engineer designer from Montreal,[4] and one of his grandfathers is from Romania.[5] He has two younger sisters, Natasha and Kyra, and a younger brother, Mischa.[4] He teaches Krav Maga.[6]
Career
Early years
Moscovitch first stepped onto the ice at the age of thirteen months, at an outdoor rink, and then took lessons at the West Toronto Skating Club.[7][8] Early in his career, he was coached by Paul Wirtz at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club.[9]
Moscovitch began pair skating in June 2003, partnering his nine-year-old sister, Kyra.[7] He also continued to compete in singles.[9] Paul Wirtz and assistant coaches Kris Wirtz and Kristy Sargeant-Wirtz worked with the Moscovitches until January 2006, when the pair joined Lee Barkell in Barrie, Ontario.[7][10] Kyra Moscovitch retired from competition after being diagnosed with scoliosis in October 2008.[2]
Partnership with Moore-Towers
In February 2009,[11] Moscovitch teamed up with Kirsten Moore-Towers, who had trained at the same rink for several years.[4] Kris Wirtz and Kristy Sargeant-Wirtz coached the pair at the Kitchener-Waterloo Skating Club in Waterloo, Ontario.[12][13]
Moore-Towers and Moscovitch debuted on the Grand Prix series at the 2009 Skate Canada International, placing sixth. In the 2010–11 season, the pair initially received one Grand Prix assignment, the 2010 Skate America, but received a second, the 2010 Skate Canada International, after Jessica Dube / Bryce Davison withdrew.[14] They won silver at both events and qualified for the Grand Prix Final, where they finished sixth. They then won the Canadian national title.
At the 2014 Winter Olympics, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch were part of the Canadian team for the team event. They performed the pair's free skate and Canada won the silver medal.[6]
Moore-Towers and Moscovitch announced the end of their partnership on 30 April 2014, stating they have different goals.[15][16]
Partnership with Iliushechkina
Moscovitch contacted Russian skater Lubov Iliushechkina and arranged a tryout, which took place in Detroit in mid-May 2014.[17] On June 3, 2014, a news report stated that they had decided to form a partnership coached by Lee Barkell and Bryce Davison at the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club.[18] The pair continued training in Detroit until Iliushechkina received a Canadian visa, in late June.[19] Moscovitch stated, "We have different lifts and different throw and twist techniques. [...] We are still ironing everything out to see what works best for both of us as a team."[19]
