I just checked last season's U.S. Pairs thread and you posted Liu/Johnson were #25 on the ISU World Standings list that was updated on May 8, 2017.Yes, it may have been #25 on the WS list. No way to check, though.

According to TSL (so not the most trusted source but anyways) it was Tarah's knee that took them out of the Worlds. Not sure if it's the same knee again, but allegedly it required some surgery and she'll be back on the ice within a month.
Here's the bit: https://youtu.be/hWz36YTGU_0?t=1h2m17s
That article said Deanna and Nate found out on Thursday night, which would be the 15th. So the timeline makes sense.I found out about Tarah's injury (which she herself said was a stress fracture) on March 16th and in that message she said it had started hurting within the last two weeks (that puts it in the first two weeks of March). I haven't heard anything about more surgery but she didn't sound overly pessimistic the last time I talked to her. I guess there could have been a minor thing done....I have no idea the best way to fix stress fractures. I can check in with them this weekend and see how they're doing.

Yes and yes.Isn’t she a dance coach? The one who is returning to Russia?
Mark Ladwig and Amanda Evora will be re-teaming! https://twitter.com/LadwigMark/status/979444184552787968
Evora/Ladwig rehash? If their lifts are still as beautiful then yes please! Maybe grandma and grandpa being relevant in U.S. pairs would make everyone else get their acts together. I hope they win nationals.
I'm also at posts thinking that the Knierims were somehow "gifted" their Worlds or Olympics spot. Are you kidding me? And who the heck else is better? I loooove Deanna and Nate, but they did the best they could do. Tarah and Danny are fighting injuries, as shown by their withdrawal. Ashley and Tim can be great .... or not. As a poster on GS said, it's not like the US is leaving Gordeeva and Grinkov at home
I hope USFS sends ALOT of pairs on ALOT of assignments this season. We need give them all a chance to compete and get a feel for their programs and see how they do in front of different international judging panels.
Their signature element 4 twist was mostly absent all year. Even the 3twist isn't scoring what it did.
I wonder why she seemed so wobbly today.
I'm not faulting Alexa. She has had a rough two years, but, they were given a huge boost at nationals to get the Olympic spot. They have never fully come back after her surgery.
Scimeca-Knierim/Knierim defeated Yu/Zhang and Della Monica/Guarise at the Olympics. Which other American pair could have done that?
Don't you think if S/B had half the backing S/K did by the USFS they would have made the free?
S/K Have grown on me but the truth is they been held up by the United States all season long. They may be the best we have but continuing to hold them up and over score of them has not done them or the other teams we have out there any favors.
If I was making any policy changes to how team selection is done, it would be about how to fill the second pair spot (in the future if the U.S. earns it again some day). I would put priority on the team with the highest-scoring and most consistent SP. Bomb in the LP if you must, but at least get there!

This is cute:Ashley Cain is engaged! https://twitter.com/icegirlash/status/980577141921402880
https://www.instagram.com/p/BhKtmoFDamy/The funny thing about our engagement was that Dalton sent Timothy a picture of the ring a year ago! So when Dalton proposed, I heard Timothy yell, “Finally, I’ve known about this for forever!!”
^ I don't know if you've heard, but there are rumors about Knierims making a coaching change. (Discussed here.) We'll see.
Dalilah also recently posted a video of a new team she has that is doing triple twist within a week of their partnership. Impressive.
WHAT???? WHO??? WHEN??? WHY???? HOW???
haven't clicked on your link yet but this has nearly given me heart attack. @clairecloutier where are you???
I say NOOOOOOOO WAYYYYY there ever leave Sap....
Let me regain some composure now (and dignity) tee-hee
I heard from a secret source that Mervin Tran had a tryout with an American pairs girl.
I know who but would rather not say. I don't know her personally but don't want to cause drama for her if it's true. Not her fault if he is lookin'!Interesting. I wonder who it is.
