Dynamic Duo Dubé and Davison

[gsk8]

Jessica Dubé, 20, and Bryce Davison, 22, just missed winning their second consecutive Canadian pairs championship this season by a mere .15 point. But they came back strong after a disastrous fifth place in the short to qualify for Worlds and keep their season goals in sight.

I think that it says a lot about Jessica competing in both the singles and pairs events at Nationals (and I assume the singes qualifying events in the fall). She is a busy young lady. However, I wonder why she does not leave singles and just continue with pairs. I think that it would make the team even better and she does not have a realistic shot of going far in singles.

I think Jessica uses singles as a warmup at Nationals, and, since she's done both events since skating at the Pre-Novice leve (similar to American Intermediate), she's always had two things to think about, instead of only pairs. I think it's her way of dealing with the pressure, and I think she said something about that in an interview at Nationals 2007, after her SP.
Either way, nice article, and I wish them all the best at Worlds!
