U.S. Pairs 2020-21 season - News & Updates, Part XI

[haribobo]

For reference, of teams not assigned to JGP who scored over 80 pts in the FS this season-

Lockley/Isbell 7/2002 and 1/2002 - so both are 19.
Can't find ages for Wong/Weirens.
I know Baram/Tioumentsev (13/19 but she's too young) are not age eligible.

McBeath/Bartholomay have been added to the Autumn Classic roster per the USFS international assignments page

McBeath/Bartholomay have been added to the Autumn Classic roster per the USFS international assignments page

But Cain-Gribble/LeDuc are not listed there as of USFS' update today (more recent than the ISU's) - they were added on the ISU website earlier today, along with McBeath/Bartholomay (this will be their CS debut).

Catching up on the other recent U.S. pairs international assignments:

JGP #6: Smirnova/Siianytsia, Martins/Bedard
JGP #7: Smirnova/Siianytsia, Martins/Bedard, Cate Fleming/Chase Finster (their JGP debut)
Skate America TBD: Calalang/Johnson

I noticed that Brandon Frazier had an IG story yesterday from NYC, so I assume he and Alexa will be competing in the John Nicks International Pairs Challenge which starts tomorrow.

^^^ Yes, I'm waiting for the John Nicks starting orders to be posted (tonight or tomorrow?) ETA that I've since started a thread in the Kiss & Cry forum (I'll post the names of the U.S. pairs in this thread after they're confirmed online).

ETA on Sept. 9 that the U.S. pairs competing at John Nicks are:

Senior (first 6 are in the ISP): Calalang/Johnson, Chan/Howe, Knierim/Frazier, Liu/O'Shea, Lu/Mitrofanov, McBeath/Bartholomay, Burden/Rounis, Finster/Silecky

Junior (first 4 are in ISP): Fleming/Finster, Lockley/Isbell, Rivers/Chapman, Wong/Weirens, Romero/Ogren

Cain-Gribble/LeDuc are now listed on the USFS site

WOW. That is some of the most ambitious SBS jumping, not just on the national level, but on the intl. scene. Also, glad to see them going for the harder Throw 3L and 3F/Z

BTW, - McBeath / Bartholomay had decent back-to-back performances at ACI. I hope they can take it further and progress ...
