I haven't followed figure skating in many, many, many years but fairly recently have gotten back into it. I have always loved pair skating. When I decided to start following it again I of course looked into the US pairs teams. I knew nothing of Marissa and Mervin's previous partnerships. I watched videos of the US pairs teams on Youtube. Marissa and Mervin captivated me. They have this energy and chemistry about them that makes them fun and captivating to watch, even with mistakes. Not that the other US pairs teams aren't good and worth watching, but I have a special place for Mervissa! I think the fact that they are one of the newer partnerships only makes them more special to me, I love their story. Now I really hope they can get their elements more consistent this season.
