If only her hip wasn't a recurrent problem, I would say to pair Tran with Naomi Nari Nam.
Forgive me if this is an ignorant question, but it seems like pairs teams split up a lot more often than dance teams. Dance teams are famous for being together for multiple quads. Does dance have an unspoken rule that teams shouldn't split up or something? Again, forgive my ignorance, but I am genuinely curious as to why dance teams may stay together longer than pairs teams. As fans, we may never know all the reasons for the various splits, nor do I necessarily want to, but it's always unfortunate when a successful team such as T&T splits up. There could be any number of less high-profile dance splits, so maybe it's just a matter of perception that more pairs teams split up than dance teams. Thoughts?
-sigh- Another great pair with huge potential gone, just when they were starting to get good. I'm so curious as to why Narumi broke it off? I already remember her saying that she chose Mervin > the Olympics. Apparently JSF doesn't have anything to do with it either. :/
Well according to this article JSF says the citizenship issue was not the cause of their breakup.
True, but surely you don't believe everything they say? It's a political organization.
Regardless we'll see what's really going on once things settle down and we get closer to Sochi.
"Sitting at a restaurant and they start playing "Imagine" on the speakers. Miss competing. Get well soon Narumi."
Narumi seems like a really sweet girl. She has also always appreciated Mervin and is always thankful that he is her partner, so it's really odd that she would just drop him suddenly in the middle of the season. She left him hanging and he only tweeted a week ago
Something big must've changed her mind. I wish them the best of luck in finding new partners. They have a big future ahead of them!
Injuries seem to make people go crazy or rethink their partnership. I wonder - weaver and poje are they next. Think about it. Dube and DAvison - Bryce gets seriously injured with his knee and then it is over. Samuelson and Bates. Everyone is out for the elusive ogm I guess.
