Re: Castelli & Tran, it’s one thing to stay together for the simple joy and pleasure of skating with one another, but if Marissa, for example, would like to be considered for another Olympic Games appearance, she will most likely have to make that call considering Mervin is tied up with ineligibility, citizenship and release issues...
I hope that Marissa has at least kept the door open, with all due respect to Mervin.
I’ve always thought this couple was okay, for the most part, but at times, it just didn’t/doesn’t seem to be working for them. However, they’ve had their moments.
It is not an unreasonable decision or choice to make, imo, to seek out another partner especially when you take into account their current situation.
The decisions they make will boil down to what they each want and desire, where they see themselves going – either as a pairs team or not. At the very least, Marissa and Mervin owe themselves that consideration.
