Castelli & Tran Teaming Up for Pairs Competition

Not wasting any time following her split from long-time pairs partner Simon Schnapir, Marissa Castelli has hooked up on the ice with Canadian Mervin Tran.

Tran most recently partnered with Natasha Purich, and the duo finished just off the podium at Canadian nationals this year.

I'm assuming Castelli and Tran will represent the US in competition. That will make it three countries that Tran has represented in his career, having skated for a number of years for Japan with a previous partner. Castelli said she was initially nervous about all the paperwork involved in changing a skater's home country, but this ain't Tran's first rodeo...I'm guessing he is no stranger to such bureaucracy!

Can't wait to see them together on the ice.
