He said he was in Vancouver three times. Three. And one of those times was for the Vancouver Pride Parade.

Why is this so important? Virtanen is a 21-year-old who has been taken to town for focus. Too easily distracted, they said.

Last summer he was in Van pretty much every day.

How did that work out? Yeah, not great.

“I just wanted to get out of Vancouver for a while this summer. I was in Abbotsford living at my house with my mom and training in Chilliwack,” Virtanen said. “I wanted to come in fresh.”

Ya, not a lot of shenanigans to be had in Abbotsford.

You know who goes to movies all summer for entertainment?

Pros.

Watching Virtanen lately has been like diving into a bath filled with ice. He wakes you up.
