Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier Announce Partnership
Here's a thread dedicated to the announcement, since some members didn't see the discussions about Haven/Brandon split in the US Pairs thread or the Splits Thread for a few days. I agree with @GoneWiththeWind, who posted in the "Splits" thread ... it's lovely that Alexa asked to talk to Haven first, before saying yes to a tryout with Brandon. Also (from me), it's fun to read about Brandon and Chris's longtime friendship, which will be a great advantage going forward.

With both Chris and Haven Denney, Frazier's longtime partner, stepping away from competitive figure skating, Knierim and Frazier have announced their partnership ahead of the 2020-21 season....
It's news that caps a significant shakeup amongst the top U.S. pairs since the 2020 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships where the Knierims won their third U.S. title. Denney and Frazier were the top finishing U.S. pair on the Grand Prix circuit, winning bronze at 2019 Skate America presented by American Cruise Lines and Internationaux de France.
