This in-depth Palm Beach Post article was published Thanksgiving weekend and discusses the unlikely pairing of American Maxine Weatherby with Russian Tima Yerzhanov, who are competing in ice dancing for Kazakhstan under the tutelage of two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Evgeny Platov, who relocated from New Jersey to Florida several years ago. Maxine and Tima competed at Four Continents in 2019-20 and have qualified to compete at 2021 Worlds.
