Pechalat-Bourzat withdraw

Nathalie Pechalat and Fabian Bourzat, the European ice dancing champions, have been forced to withdraw from the Skate Canada competition.

Bourzat is suffering from bronchitis, the French federation said, and will be unable to compete at the second Grand Prix event of the new season.
Bourzat was already feeling the effects of the illness at last week's Skate America in Ontario, California, where the couple took second place.
Skate Canada begins this weekend at Mississauga, near Toronto in Ontario, and is the second of six Grand Prix events this season.
