2022 U.S. Nationals: Senior Pairs Short Program

Literally they would have had to somehow injure themselves while not skating.
They could have been practicing elsewhere. Other skaters have practiced on private ice. That seems less likely given that they have withdrawn, but it is a possibility.

The teams also practice in other rinks while not in official practice. It isn't streamed. I agree that COVID is more likely. Or, I guess a secret very very small baby 🍼.
 


Brandon tested positive for COVID. No word if it's symptomatic or not. Fingers crossed that they, their coaching team, and the other skaters are able to stay healthy.

Honestly I kind of hate USFS for going ahead with this. It clearly isn’t safe.

I am so upset about this! But I think I was kind of worried before that somebody might test positive.
 
She was wearing her mask during their entire practice session (except during their run-through) yesterday. I thought it was odd and wondered if she had symptoms. Very strange he was not masked yet he's the one who tested positive. Well, maybe he's asymptomatic right now and her positive result is incoming...

Either way I think they will still go to the Olympics as long as they're both negative by then.

I hope K/F can still compete at the Olympics. We need our top pairs team to help us get a medal in the team event.
Unfortunately, I don't think they will be going. The Pairs seemed to be a very tight and hard battle between the top 4 places. I think they may have done it as if Alexa/Brandon place in the top 3, they would send them. I don't think the US will be sending them, but I was really looking forward to seeing them at the Olympics.

USFS is in a bind. Whoever wins they won’t have beaten K/F. It’s highly unlikely they would have finished outside the top 3.

K/F have not been extremely consistent this season. Liu/Mitrofanov even won a comp against them this season. But I am not sure who will be sent. I guess we will have to just wait and see how the Pairs event goes.

I mean for the team event. We need our strongest pairs team for the team event.

Yes. The decision will be made on how the skaters perform. Two good pairs, and K/F will be out. If there is some ambiguity, then they're in.

Of course, alternate status is nothing to shun - there's a fair chance that alternates will be called upon.
