Liam Firus s\u2019est fait conna\u00eetre sur la sc\u00e8ne nationale lorsqu\u2019il a enlev\u00e9 le titre canadien junior en 2010. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 concourir avec les seniors aux championnats nationaux. Avant de prendre le cinqui\u00e8me rang en 2013, il s\u2019\u00e9tait class\u00e9 sixi\u00e8me en 2011 et en 2012. Alors qu\u2019il envisageait de ne pas se pr\u00e9senter aux championnats nationaux de 2013 en raison d\u2019une blessure \u00e0 l\u2019aine, il a vaincu la douleur pour r\u00e9aliser son meilleur r\u00e9sultat en carri\u00e8re. \u00c0 son retour \u00e0 la maison, il a d\u00fb se tenir \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cart de la patinoire pendant plusieurs mois jusqu\u2019\u00e0 son r\u00e9tablissement complet. Il n\u2019a pu reprendre l\u2019entra\u00eenement \u00e0 temps plein pour la saison olympique avant le d\u00e9but de septembre 2013. Il a alors d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de quitter Vancouver pour s\u2019entra\u00eener \u00e0 temps plein \u00e0 Colorado Springs avec l\u2019ancienne entra\u00eeneure de Patrick Chan, Christy Krall.<\/span><\/p>\n

Firus a particip\u00e9 deux fois aux Championnats du monde juniors de l\u2019ISU, soit en 2011 o\u00f9 il a termin\u00e9 en 20e<\/sup> position et en 2012 o\u00f9 il s\u2019est class\u00e9 8e<\/sup>.

Introduction au sport :\u00a0<\/strong>Il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 patiner \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de neuf ans en vue d\u2019am\u00e9liorer ses habilet\u00e9s au hockey. Petit \u00e0 petit, il s\u2019est tourn\u00e9 vers le patinage artistique. Il a pris ses premi\u00e8res le\u00e7ons avec ses patins de hockey…\u00a0Autres int\u00e9r\u00eats :\u00a0<\/strong>Durant la saison morte, il aime nager, aller \u00e0 la plage et s\u2019adonner au saut de falaise. Il a obtenu son certificat du cours sur le commerce des valeurs mobili\u00e8res au Canada et esp\u00e8re devenir un courtier enregistr\u00e9 en valeurs mobili\u00e8res…\u00a0De tout et de rien :\u00a0<\/strong>Son meilleur souvenir olympique est la performance et la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or du patineur russe Alexei Yagudin \u00e0 Salt Lake City\u00a02002. Il consid\u00e8re le m\u00e9daill\u00e9 olympique suisse, Stephane Lambiel comme son mod\u00e8le parce que ce dernier est un patineur accompli, tant sur le plan athl\u00e9tique qu\u2019artistique. Il a un collier qu\u2019il n\u2019enl\u00e8ve jamais. Il chausse toujours son patin gauche en premier. Avant la comp\u00e9tition, il mange des fruits et du beurre d\u2019arachide. Sa citation favorite est de Steve Pr\u00e9fontaine\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0Donner moins que le meilleur de soi, c\u2019est sacrifier son don\u00a0\u00bb. La musique de son programme libre\u00a02014 \u2014 Le Boulon, par Dmitri Shostakovich \u2014 est celle qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9e par Brian Orser \u00e0 Calgary\u00a01988.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
