Brandon tested positive for COVID-19 despite being vaccinated, boosted and having obtained a negative PCR test prior to departure. We have taken all the necessary precautions leading up to these Championships, including but not limited to social distancing, the use of KN95 masks and canceling all holiday gatherings as well as private lessons at the rink, so it has been shocking and devastating for us to process what has happened. We have done everything in our power to prepare for this event and were ready to compete and defend our national title. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished as a team in our two seasons together. Brandon and I have accumulated an extremely strong body of work that positions us at the top of the field nationally and we are not letting go of our Olympic dream. That said, we have the utmost respect for the selection committee and believe that they will make decisions based on the best interest of our team and our country. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes. We will not give up and this is not the end of our journey. 💪🏻Best of luck to all the athletes competing this week.🖤」1月6日 12時30分
