Laurence and Nik are simply saying that despite the summer season finally arriving in Montreal, there is no time to chill... they are training hard at Gadbois to be at their best to earn a spot on the National team.
Nik explains that the competition in Canada is much deeper : 2200 CLUBS versus 1700 skaters.
They mention that Worlds haven't been in Montreal since 1932 and they do not want to miss their chance to skate at home, in front of friends and family.
They go back to what brought them from representing Denmark to switching for Canada, confirming that Nik will get his citizenship in 2020.
They dream to represent Canada at the Olympic games.
They know the competition is coming fast from two young teams also training in Quebec : Soucisse/Firus and Lajoie/Lagha.
There is no mention at this point in the article that Weaver/Poje may no longer compete... they even mention that they ranked 3rd at Nationals last year and that because Virtue and Moir are off, it gave them a chance to compete at worlds where they finish 10th, their best result ever.
Talking about Virtue and Moir, Laurence mentions that they were such an inspiration :
Seeing how they behaved together, how they trained, their work ethics... they were always smiling and cheered for everyone. They inspired us and they helped us to work better together...
I guess that's another perception from the one delivered by Gabby Papadakis in another article...

De voir leur comportement ensemble, comment ils travaillaient, leur éthique de travail... Ils étaient souriants et encourageaient tout le monde. Ils nous ont inspirés et nous ont aidés à mieux travailler ensemble.»
