This is so distressing. The U.S. and Canada will have no international contenders in pairs in the near future.
There is always Duhamel/Radford.

So not as dire as Canada, but man....there's some opportunities for those willing to seize the day!
I'm still sad that Emily Samuelson never found an ice dance partner. Now there was talent and because of the injury or whatever Bates and she split. They would have been spectacular.
Those tweets are kinda tactless... but they're true. Probably better if they didn't tweet that, but it doesn't bother me much.
Those kind of tweets about other teammates are a bit unusual - they're not evil or anything, but they are a bit mischievous.
Someone on FSU posted this which is apparently from Lindsay Davis's Facebook tonight. Knierim's tweet, while I don't think it was malicious, was just something that was going to be easily misconstrued by C/S fans and obviously other skaters.
From Lindsay Davis's Facebook:
I just have to say, every single pair skater knows they aren't perfect nor are partnerships perfect. Things happen. People change. Life changes. Respect your teammates. Cheer for them when they're skating and cheer for them when they're not. In the end we all want the same thing: To do what we love in a sport that we love. #somepeoplehavenoclass #twitter
