Chris is retiring, Alexa is going to look for a new partner to aim for the Beijing Olympics. This also means Brian & Jessica are going to Worlds.

I understand that Nate Bartholomay is interested in returning to pairs. He had knee surgery, which is why he'd had to step away for a bit, but plans to return once he's healed up. He's 5'10", so they'd need to see if her (relative, for a pairs skater - she's 5'2") height is an issue.
