Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim are partners on and off the ice.
When the pairs skaters take the ice in PyeongChang Thursday evening, they’ll be the first married pair to compete at the Olympics since fellow Americans Jenni Meno and Todd Sand went to Nagano in 1998. And this time, they are the sole set of American pairs skaters heading to South Korea — making them the United States’s only hope for a pairs figure skating medal in PyeongChang.
Throughout their partnership, they’ve won two National titles (in 2015 and again this year) and served as the Olympic alternates in Sochi.
