A new thread for those of us who are interested in US. Pairs!
Here are a few programs, and my thoughts, from Skate Detroit. These are just randomly thought of and ordered. Please feel free and happy to add posts, thoughts, IGs, etc. about any US pair you're interested in.
New Pair Emily Chan and Spencer Howe, SP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYF6q3rbuMs
I really like this pairing. Emily is very expressive, and Spencer already has (I think) a lovely way of presenting her.
New-ish pair Olivia Serafini and Mervin Tran, FS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu2PLZFmE24.
They've come such a long way since 2019 nationals! Again, I like what they are already able to express together; they have a gentle flair.
Current US champions Ashley Cain and Timothy Leduc, SP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nui6w8PEx3U
Considering Ashley's marriage, and she even took a honeymoon! this SP is coming along. The second time I watched this, I could see the Misha Ge touches. Mostly, Ashley & Tim have a smooth, gently edgy mood that I'm picking up on. The steps and refinements I'm sure will come. They WD after the SP.
Jessica Calalang and Brian Johnson SP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXyTm2ER9Zo
They won this event. One of the most impressive things IMO about this pair is their confidence together!
This is all I have time to post at the moment, but I hope this will get our journey started.
