Best wishes to Daniel and his new partner .

LOL, I was never 100% sure which one of the former partners was your child ... until now .

I hope that they remain on friendly terms, and I hope it is not a touchy subject to ask whether you have any update on Alex?

Is there any video of Danielle skating? What about Aldridge, has she found a partner?

Forgive me for not being too familiar, but is it common for a new partner to jump from novice to senior etc.? It seems like a huge imbalance. Also the age difference is pretty big.

Thomas did compete junior this year with Alexander Martin. Placed 11th out of 12.

Oh didn't notice that, the other article I googled said novice. Thanks

Will there be an imbalance possibly? Still seems like a pretty big jump.

Honestly, there may be. But until we see them skate together, no one can really say that the partnership will 100% be doomed. If they're really the right partners for each other, then they'd just need time to up the tech content.
