down the road. Joining Chen in his withdrawal are Canadian pairs team, Kirsten Moore-Towers and Michael Marinaro. There has been no statement regarding their withdrawal at this time. The 2022 competition will also mark the retirement of US dance favourites Madison Hubble and Zachary Donahue, following their beautiful performances at the Olympics.

It may look a little different but that doesn't mean it won’t be a competition to enjoy.
