How do you get results from Skate Detroit? I could only find tentative groups and tentative schedule.
Seeing as M-T&M won the last head-to-head against Seguin & Bilodeau, this isn't an accurate statement either. I think it's more accurate to say that the competition for the number 1 Canadian pairs spot has bowed out. Seguin & Bilodeau defeated M-T&M at Nationals and the Olympics so they had the argument for becoming number 1, but it was a position in dispute based upon results. M-T&M did put the pressure on last season and did get the job done at Worlds. I think most of us thought we would see that battle continue. (And it's quite likely, with such talented athletes, that we will in the future via new partnerships. Just not for now).
Well, a year ago there were three teams jockeying for the spot behind D/R, and now M-T/M are out there on their own.I'm not sure what is inaccurate about "Well.... that's expected with post Olympic retirement. It's only being handed the #1 spot that's a shock." I agree with everything you've said, and think we're essentially saying the same thing. Perhaps you're reading too much into my second statement, and assumed I'm implying that S&B unequivocally held the #1 spot? As I stated, MT&M were counting on being no lower than #2; that is, either #1 or #2. I do think it's fair to say that MT&M were handed the #1 spot, because they no longer have to fight S&B for it, contrary to expectations, and hence the shock/surprise.

A surprise... even if Dylan's retirement was expected.
And a lot of pressure to ensure Canada retains as many pairs berths as possible...when the lower ranked teams are not certain to make it through to the FS or place in the top 12.
i admire pair girls...
i am not sure i can still like and laugh at the comments about them being tough... i feel bad for Julianne's many concussions... i wish they pair girls were seen as strong girls but also as fragile girls..

Uhm, I think that at this level the greater number of women is just a reflection of age.Another skater pulling double duty. She's placed well in pairs, coming in 2nd in SP & FS events with Paxton Fletcher.
Doing both singles & pairs seems to be more common among women than men. I wonder if the primary goal is to keep both options open, or to strengthen the jumps.
I also have huge respect for pair girls. They are tough; it's their human bodies that are fragile.

Interesting....Meagan mentioned on Instagram that she's in the middle of doing the exams to qualify as a technical specialist.
Just based on her technique commentary on TSL, etc., skaters beware -- she'll be the second coming of Shin Amano.
