Frazier played matchmaker for Knierim years before they became partners on the ice and helped the U.S. win silver in the team competition in Beijing.
Years before pairs figure skater Brandon Frazier was Alexa Knierim's partner on the ice, he was her matchmaker off it.
"Chris and I, way back in the day when we both were living in Colorado used to do a lot of things together," Frazier said."Fishing, hiking and obviously trained together, and I was there when Alexa moved . We would invite Alexa to come fishing and stuff. I was in between, always whispering back and forth, kind of doing the nudging."Chris and Alexa Knierim, who got married in 2016, also became a couple on the ice.
Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier of the United States perform during the figure skating team competition at the Beijing Olympic Games on Monday.“When Chris and I made this decision, there was no anger, no fighting,” Alexa told US Figure Skating Fan Zone. “We love each other so much that we want to see the other person be happy. Our marriage is stronger than ever.”
Frazier, 29, and Knierim, 30, were able to quickly build chemistry to qualify for the Beijing Olympics despite only skating together for a short time.
