"Adventures in Overhead Lifts in Ice Dance"--- by Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson with a special forward by Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue "Longterm Partnerships are Overrated" by Belazs Nagy

Here's hoping Audrey gets a very good new partner, assuming she wants to remain in pair skating. Next year's Nationals will have a few new teams. Is it too early to get a teeny bit excited?

@Sylvia that is Randy in those pictures with Tai and Rohene etc?
