Emily Samuelson and Evan Bates have ended their partnership

[Yvy]

I just noticed that Icenetwork has posted a gallery of photos titled "Samuelson & Bates: Through the Years" spanning Novice in 2002 to Senior in 2010: http://web.icenetwork.com/gen/photogallery/year_2011/month_06/day_28/cf21107480.html

To add insult to injury...

Well, I enjoyed looking at the photos. The fact that this long-time team split does not negate what they accomplished together in a remarkable career.

Indeed. Let us celebrate their accomplishments and do a bit of mourning too.

You're right, if the rest of the story didn't seem so :huh: to so many people, a lone comment about lifts being easy would probably have gone unnoticed.

Aww, they were so little!

Emily has such a pretty hair color.

Cute pictures! I'm sad that the partnership has ended, but they accomplished alot in their time together.

I loved their 2004 FD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i1lOIlrgLw). Jamiroquai!

I saw the gallery pics of Charlie and Meryl throwing out the first pitch, and in a related article, they had Evan throwing out the first partner!:lol:

Can anyone identify the other skaters in the novice podium pictures?

Thanks, Sylvia.

Wow. The attrition rate between Novice and Seniors is pretty large. I think Summerset is the only other one of these skaters I can recall seeing or hearing about .

I was pretty proud of myself for picking out Shannon Wingle! A couple partners later and without the international experience of S/B or Summerset, but she's competing senior.

Interesting tweet from Emily just about 30 minutes ago.

Doesn't this say it all?

I don't care for James Blunt myself, but I was focusing in more on the lyric.
