US Nationals Senior Pairs Preview
Donlan and Speroff are the highest ranked team returning to U.S. Nationals this season. They claimed the pewter medal at nationals this season and received acclaim for their Sleeping Beauty free skate. She has a balletic quality and a Russian pairs look to her skating that this team uses to their advantage but they have struggled with their side by side jumps. They have kept their free skate from last season but have struggled in their short program at their international events this season. They have not yet met the short program minimum for Worlds so if they are named to the team they will have to meet the minimum at Four Continents.
Castelli and Shnapir have never stood on a national podium and finished 5th the last two seasons. In the off season, they focused on their whole package and have traveled to Canada for their programs. They won a bronze medal at NHK Trophy this season and are entering nationals as the favorites. They have a throw triple axel and a throw quad salchow in their arsenal but will be going for clean programs here. The spotlight will be on them in a way they haven't experienced before but if they stay focused and hit their programs like they have all season, they should be able to not only land on the podium for the first time but claim the top spot.
Scimeca and Knierim are a brand new team that are experiencing quick success this season. They both competed at nationals last season with other partners and finished 10th and 7th respectively. After teaming up this summer, they found chemistry both on and off the ice and were able to win gold at Cup of Nice over reigning European Bronze Medalists Stolbova and Klimov. That win earned them a trip to NHK Trophy as a substitute where they finished 4th.
Zhang and Bartholomay had a great showing at nationals last season and despite skating a day before the top teams in the early groups they had a standout performance that was still being talked about the next day. She was injured at Sectionals so they skated through most of their elements but if she is healthy they have a good shot at challenging for the podium.
Also in the mix are veteran team Vise/Baldwin, new team Kayne/O'Shea and the new pairing of Davis/Ladwig. Reigning Junior Champions Denney and Frazier will also make their senior debut after competing as juniors internationally this fall.

NHK Trophy Pairs Preview
Pang/Tong, Volosozhar/Trankov, Kavaguti/Smirnov and Duhamel/Radford have all earned their tickets to Sochi while Denney/Coughlin and Berton/Hotarek await the outcome of this event.
Bazarova and Larionov started off their season with a silver medal at home at Rostelecom Cup. They have struggled to put together two clean programs and land the side by side jumps but in this field they should be able to claim the top spot. They need a 4th place finish or higher to qualify for the Final.
Moore-Towers and Moscovitch have approached the season with a new vigor, determined to reclaim their spot at the top Canadian pairs team. They finished a disappointing 4th at Cup of China and will need a silver medal or better to qualify for the Final, which they should be able to do in this field.
Castelli/Shnapir and Martiusheva/Rogonov can qualify if they win the gold medal. While this would be a tall order, Castelli and Shnapir have been gaining confidence all season and if they can sneak past Moore-Towers and Moscovitch for the silver medal, they can send their teammates Denney and Coughlin to the Final.
Scimeca and Knierim earned their spot at this event by winning Cup of Nice earlier this season. They are still a relatively new team in their first season together but could be a spoiler at this event if they can clean up their free skate.
