HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.— The last time Haven Denney and Brandon Frazier took to the ice in competition was at the world championships in 2015. Injury and coaching changes prevented them from getting back on the ice until Friday night at Skate America in suburban Chicago. They showed no signs of rust, taking second place heading into Saturday’s free program.
Skating to music from Don Juan and wearing bright red costumes reminiscent of matadors, Denney and Frazier hit every element in their short program. Russia’s Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov finished first with a score of 75.
