Earlier this summer, U.S. pair team Lindsay Weinstein and Jacob Simon made a coaching change and moved from Buffalo Grove, Ill., to Colorado Springs, Colo., to train under Dalilah Sappenfield, Laureano Ibarra, Eddie Shipstad, Drew Meekins, and Trina Pratt. [More]
Last season, the skaters had a throw triple loop in both of their programs. This season, the team will change out the throw triple loop with a throw triple Salchow in their short program, and will also add the same element to the long for their second throw jump.
Wishing this young team much success this season!“In the short amount of time I’ve had with them, they have shown me that they are fully committed to their goals this year,” said Sappenfield. “They are hard working, disciplined, and determined athletes. To me, that is a reflection of the good coaching they received in Chicago. I am excited to continue working towards our goals as a team and seeing what our journey will bring.”
