MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Canadian pair Deanna Stellato-Dudek and Maxime Deschamps will launch their Olympic season this week at the ISU Grand Prix in France, aiming not only for medals but a trio of historic achievements.

"If we were to win Olympic gold, I would be the oldest (female champion in figure skating)," Stellato-Dudek said. "We'd be the oldest combined. And we'd be the first to do the backflip. So, we have three chances to make history."
