New U.S. pairs, both training with Coach Dalilah Sappenfield:
Mentioning here in the absence of a thread for U.S. Pairs.
- Ainsley Peterson and Matthew Rounis.
- And it seems that Eliana Secunda and Jacob Simon are a new pair.
They have been training together for about a week.
Peterson and former partner placed sixth in Junior Pairs at 2018 Nats.
Rounis and former partner placed ninth.

Secunda and former partner placed tenth in Junior Pairs at 2018 Nats.
Simon and former partner Yao placed fourteenth in Senior Pairs at 2018 Nats.
(Yao was battling illness at Nats -- the "bug" that was going around, I believe.)

Another new U.S. pair:
In hindsight, I now can make better sense of a recent post from Chelsea Liu (on Instagram story, maybe?): a photo of both Johnson and herself in the gym, with a comment along the lines of (I'm paraphrasing), "at least we can work out at the same time." At the time, it had made me wonder whether something was up with their partnership. (Her tone came across to me as light-hearted??? I hope everything has been amicable.)
Rohene Ward is choreographing Calalang/Johnson's SP.
p.s. Thanks to the mods for resurrecting this thread and copying my previous post (from another thread) into this one.
Jessica Calalang and Brian Johnson, per his Instagram today:

dang. I wonder what their plans are...retirement or finding new partners?

I had a crazy thought. Could Mervin go back to skating for Canada and pair with Luba? Would they be a good match?
Vera Barasova syndrome, she cannot land a triple jump.
Apparently she used to all the time with her partner before Dylan. So it may be a timing issue. Perhaps her timing with Mervin would work!

Interesting idea...though I do wonder if he's retiring. But I await developments with keen interest. It would be awesome for him to compete for Canada without worrying about citizenship issues.

Bazarova? I wonder what happened to Vera, did she ever make an official retirement announcement after the partnership with Deputat didn't work out?
No, she was known for not rotating her triples before Dylan.

Sad for Marissa and Mervin, but seriously, they'd never be Olympic-eligible, and they just couldn't make the elements work together. They stuck it out and put a lot of time into it, and it just wasn't happening.
So sad. They had potential in spades.

Only in the last season with Maisuradze. Before that they were doing pretty well, they qualified to GPF in their first senior season. I think it was Pavlova ‘s treatment that messed up her head.
Pavlova, now there is somebody who needs to retire. She is just...there are no words.:sad21:
