I'm here! and I loved the Japanese pair. Does anyone know anything abt them? Very promising!
Narumi Takahashi won a bronze at Worlds (in 2012, IIRC) with her former partner, Mervin Tran, who is Canadian.
After such unexpected success, they never competed together again. She got injured, but the real reason for the end of the partnership apparently was their lack of eligibility to compete for Japan at the Olympics b/c Tran is not a citizen.
This season is the first for Takahashi and her new partner -- and for Tran and his new partner, Natasha Purich, who compete for Canada.
