U.S. Champions Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim recently competed at 2015 Nebelhorn Trophy for their ISU Challenger Series event (Senior B) where they finished second. [More]

The team’s goals for this season are to medal at their Grand Prix events—Skate America and NHK Trophy—and defend their national title. They also are aiming to make the top six at the 2016 World Figure Skating Championships.

Really enjoyed the article and am even more excited for them this season after reading it!

Scimeca and Knierim, who were engaged in April 2014, have set a wedding date for June 26, 2016 in Colorado.

this totally went past me, congratulations then

I wish them best of luck. Time has proved that if a US pair team stay with each other, they will reach their full potential.

Not a bad start! arty: First after the SP (69.69 (39.00/30.69)) @ SA / +GOEs in all elements from all judges except for sbs 3S (hand down by him), but will have to work hard to stay there.
