Spencer Howe and Audrey Shin teaming up

...or is this just a "fun" pose....

After my initial surprise (expressed in U.S. pairs thread), my impression is that they seem happy and they look good together. This third party IG post is a strange way of announcing a new partnership, though. Monument rink is unlikely to be where they will train full-time. So will it be SCOB or WASA's MMpairs?

Hopefully, we will soon hear from Audrey and Spencer officially. Meanwhile, best of luck to both. And, as well, to Emily.

While Audrey placed 7th in singles at the 2020 Youth Winter Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland, she has not competed at any OG Winter Olympics in senior singles or in senior pairs. But her youth participation in 2020 must be why the post references Audrey as an Olympian along with Spencer. IMO, they should specify that Audrey is a former Youth Olympian. Otherwise, it seems like a mistaken reference.

And on and on go the partner changes! I can't wait to see some of these new teams! Also curious to know what Emily will do.

I really hope this is a new pairs team.

Howe and Chan are at an ISU seminar as a team, so it probably won't be "officially" announced until after...

 

[noskates]

Eeek- do we really know if it's happening?

 

[labgoat]

Intriguing...I think this could be a good pairing. Best wishes to Emily Chan in whatever she pursues next.

I didn't know Emily Chan wanted to move on, what happened there?

Spencer and Emily are now in camp in Thailand together, so I don't think this is a new pair, probably justa aphoto of 2 well known skaters posted by the ice rink.

I saw someone posting on X that the distance between them in one of the pictures that was posted from the camp was quite telling. But I wouldn't read too much into this...Emily just preferred standing next to her boyfriend than next to Spencer.

If it is a new partnership I think this would be a good pairing as their energy levels, power and expression seem to match. I do like Emily and Spencer as a team, but fully support whatever they decide to do. Best of luck to all 3 of them!

 

[noskates]

I'm still a bit confused. Did this "rumor" start because of that picture? Or was there something else a little more factual that led people to believe it could be a new pairing.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

I think it's the picture along with the rumour that Emily and Spencer don't really get along

 

[ManyCairns]

Well, color me gullible! I thought it was a done deal.

Well, color me gullible! I thought it was a done deal.

The first post indicates that it is still conjecture, but I find the headline misleading. I would have put a ? or better yet a string of ????s after the text. It could then be changed to !!!!!!s if it becomes official through an announcement or event entries.

I was watching/listening to the Cutting Edge Podcast on Youtube and she stated that Emily Chan has commented to not believe the rumors as they haven't officially said anything. Granted the video I think was before the rink photo. Link to the video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw1EpLgyQ_M.

 

[gsk8]

As said earlier, the announcement will probably be made official soon (after the ISU seminar).

This picture could be just friends taking a selfie. Emily was on vacation with Alex Selevko for a few days before they went to Thailand for this ISU thing. It was Alex birthday so maybe she just took a shortcut from the USFS Olympic event in Colorado while Spencer stayed. Max Naumov was there, too. So I guess Spencer went to Thailand with him while Emily left earlier. Max & Spencer are best friends

The dude (allegedly) left his partner for one who can jump. This is what they do.
