Junior Pairs

[Saundy]

Wow...look at all the US pairs! That is not something you see everyday. They'll get at LEAST one medal, if not all of them. Now if only they could carry them up into the senior ranks...then the whole world would be in trouble. I'm rooting for Miller and Brubaker.

Miller/Brubaker will be competing as Seniors at US Nationals. All the other Pairs will compete as Juniors this season.

Not to knock the U.S. pairs program, but we know that the U.S. has struggled to be competitve at the senior international level for quite a number of years.

Is this about to change? Or has pairs skating simply disappeared in the rest of the world?

It just means that these Pairs haven't gotten around to breaking up yet. Watch what happens after Nationals.
