The new team of Olivia Flores and Mark Sadusky are posting impressive results

Pair skaters Olivia Flores and Mark Sadusky first teamed up in July, and by September they were competing. After debuting at the John Nicks Pairs Challenge in Boston, U.S. Figure Skating sent them to Bratislava, Slovakia, where they placed first in the Nepala Memorial in late September. That was followed by a sixth-place finish at the Tayside Trophy in Dundee, Scotland. “It’s surreal because after the whole tryout season, I was very discouraged because I didn’t think I was going to be skating this season,” said Sadusky. “Fast forward, to be able to find Olivia and be able to skate with her and to have the blessing of the coaches and U.S. Figure Skating, and three months into our partnership be scoring a personal best in the short and the long was so satisfying. It means that our hard work is paying off.” After competing with Nica Digerness at three U.S. Championships, Sadusky, 28, took the 2025–26 season off to rest and address a knee injury.
