Ice dancing question (obviously, I missed something)

[Kylen15]

I was just leafing through the results from nationals last year, and I just realized who Jamie Silverstein's new partner is. ::thunks head:: Yeah, I missed a lot of stuff when I moved in March.

Why did O'Meara's former partner quit/split up? I was very impressed with their free dance at nationals last year.

Lydia Manon split w/ O'Meara to skate w/ Brandon Forsyth, who she is dating. So last winter when Jamie decided to skate again, Ryan was looking for a new partner too. As someone remarked on another thread, Ryan must be thanking his lucky stars!

Here's an article outlining the new pairings
