Personal life
[edit]Parsons was born October 3, 1995, in Wheaton, Maryland.[1] He has two sisters, Rachel and Katie. He is majoring in biology at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland.[2][3]
Career
[edit]Partnership with Parsons
[edit]Early years
[edit]Parsons started learning to skate at age seven to play hockey but ultimately chose figure skating.[3][4] He joined the Wheaton Ice Skating Academy in December 2003.[5] Early in his ice dancing career, he skated with Kristina Rexford.[6]
He teamed up with his sister, Rachel, in February 2010.[7] They won gold on the novice level at the 2011 U.S. Championships and debuted on the Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series in September 2011, placing 9th in Gdańsk, Poland. After taking the junior pewter medal at the 2012 U.S. Championships, they represented the United States at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics, placing 4th. They were also selected for the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus, where they finished 15th.
Competing in the 2012–13 JGP series, the Parsons placed sixth in Linz, Austria, before taking bronze in Zagreb, Croatia.
2013–2014 season
[edit]The Parsons obtained silver at both of their 2013–14 JGP assignments, which took place in Košice, Slovakia, and Ostrava, Czech Republic. They qualified for the JGP Final in Fukuoka, Japan, where they placed sixth. The duo won bronze at the junior level at the 2014 U.S. Championships and capped off their season with an 8th-place finish at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria.
2014–2015 season
[edit]The Parsons medaled at both their 2014–15 JGP assignments, receiving bronze in Aichi, Japan, and silver in Zagreb, Croatia.[8] They finished as the first alternates for the JGP Final and won silver on the junior level at the 2015 U.S. Championships. Concluding their season, they placed fourth at the 2015 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.
2015–16 season: World Junior silver and Junior Grand Prix Final bronze
[edit]During the 2015–16 JGP series, the Parsons were awarded gold in Bratislava, Slovakia, and Zagreb, Croatia. Competing in Barcelona, Spain, at their second JGP Final, the siblings took the bronze medal behind McNamara/Carpenter and Loboda/Drozd, having placed second in the short dance and fifth in the free. At the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary, they placed first in the short and second in the free, winning the silver medal behind McNamara/Carpenter.[9]
2016–17 season: World Junior champion and Junior Grand Prix Final gold
[edit]Competing in their sixth JGP season, the Parsons were awarded gold in Yokohama, Japan,[10] and Dresden, Germany, both times ahead of Russia's Shpilevaya/Smirnov. In December 2016, they competed at the JGP Final in Marseille, France; ranked second in the short and first in the free, they won the title by a margin of 0.63 over Loboda/Drozd.[11]
The following month, the Parsons would win their first junior national title at the 2017 U.S. Championships, over 11 points clear of the field. The siblings would cap off their undefeated season by winning the 2017 World Junior Championships; similar to the 2016–17 JGP Final, the Parsons won the event overall after placing second in the short and first in the free, earning an even narrower victory of 0.56 ahead of Loboda/Drozd. The Parsons earned personal bests in their combined total and free dance scores on their fifth Junior Championships trip.[12]
2017–18 season: International senior debut
[edit]Moving to the senior level, the Parsons debuted at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International, winning the silver medal behind longtime rivals McNamara/Carpenter, who were also making their senior debut. They then took the silver medal at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy, their debut on the ISU Challenger series. Assigned to two Grand Prix events, they finished ninth at Skate America and seventh at the Rostelecom Cup. They then competed at a second Challenger event, the Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they finished eighth.
Competing at the senior level at the 2018 U.S. Championships, they placed fifth and thus did not qualify for the U.S. Olympic team. They were instead sent to the 2018 Four Continents Championships, where they finished sixth.
2018–19 season: End of Parsons/Parsons
[edit]"I couldn't be more proud of you, Rach, you're superhuman. It's been an amazing journey, and I've loved sharing it with you. If I know one thing, it's that we haven't seen the last of you ❤️"
—Michael Parsons, April 2, 2019[13]
After a second straight silver medal at Lake Placid's summer ice dance event, the siblings competed in three straight Challenger events, winning consecutive silver medals at the Asian Open, Nebelhorn Trophy and Nepela Trophy. At their first Grand Prix event in Japan, the 2018 NHK Trophy, they won their first and only Grand Prix medal, a bronze. They finished fifth at the 2018 Internationaux de France, their second Grand Prix. The Parsons placed sixth at the 2019 U.S. Championships.
On April 2, 2019, Rachel announced on Instagram that she was retiring from figure skating following a lengthy struggle with an eating disorder. Michael said he intended to continue skating with a new partner.[13]
Partnership with Green
[edit]2019–20 season: Debut of Green/Parsons
[edit]On June 20, 2019, it was announced that Parsons had formed a partnership with Caroline Green, the 2019 U.S junior champion. Green was several years younger than Parsons, an age difference that he said, "on the ice, I really don’t think it matters that much."[14] Green/Parsons placed fifth at Lake Placid Ice Dance International and the 2019 CS Lombardia Trophy. Making their senior Grand Prix debut as a team, they placed seventh at 2019 Skate America. Parsons remarked that "I’m very pleasantly surprised at how well she has adapted to senior. She has done really well, and I couldn’t be happier."[15] Competing the following week at the 2019 Skate Canada International, Green/Parsons again placed seventh.[16] They won their first international medal, a bronze, at the 2019 CS Warsaw Cup behind Lauriault/Le Gac of France and Russia's Konkina/Drozd.
Competing at their first U.S. Championships, Green/Parsons placed fifth in the rhythm dance.[17] They were fifth in the free dance, despite a fall. Parsons said afterward that they were "still a very young team, but it's coming along faster than I ever expected. I couldn't be more proud; I am very happy."[18]
2020–21 season
[edit]The coronavirus pandemic and resultant lockdowns resulted in Green and Parsons not being able to see or train with each other from March to June. Caroline enlisted her brother Gordon as a training partner at home.[19] In order to limit international travel, the ISU assigned the Grand Prix based on geographic location, and Green/Parsons attended the 2020 Skate America.[20] They finished in fourth place.[21]
Green/Parsons went on to finish fourth at the 2021 U.S. Championships, taking the pewter medal.[22]
2021–22 season: Four Continents gold
[edit]For their free dance, Green, Parsons, and their choreographers opted to design a program in emulation of Martha Graham's style of modern dance, which Parsons characterized as involving "a lot of emotion into almost sparse movements."[23]
Green/Parsons made their Olympic season debut at the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International, winning the bronze medal.[24] Competing next on the Grand Prix at the 2021 Skate Canada International, they finished in fourth place.[25] They were initially assigned to the 2021 Cup of China as their second Grand Prix, but following its cancellation, they were reassigned to the 2021 Gran Premio d'Italia.[26] They placed fourth in the rhythm dance but dropped to fifth place after Green fell exiting a lift in the free dance.[27]
Entering the 2022 U.S. Championships seeking to qualify for the third berth on the American Olympic team, Green/Parsons placed third in the rhythm dance despite a twizzle error, slightly ahead of defending national bronze medalists Hawayek/Baker, who also had a twizzle error. They were fourth in the free dance and dropped behind Hawayek/Baker overall, taking the pewter medal.[28] They were named first alternates for the Olympic team and were sent to compete at the 2022 Four Continents Championships in Tallinn, where they won the gold medal. Parsons reflected on not making the Olympic team, saying, "even while not making the team, we set ourselves up very well for the next four years, and this is a great starting point right here. Not making the team is certainly a motivation."[29]
2022–23 season: First Grand Prix medal
[edit]Green and Parsons left their longtime coaches at Wheaton Ice Dance Academy to train at the new Michigan Ice Dance Academy founded by retired Olympic medalists Charlie White and Tanith Belbin. Of the change, Parsons said, "these next four years are about pushing ourselves as skaters, as artists, and as people."[30]
Beginning the season at the 2022 CS Finlandia Trophy, Green/Parsons placed fifth.[31] In their first Grand Prix at the 2022 Skate Canada International, the team placed narrowly third in the rhythm dance but were overtaken in the free dance by Canadians Lajoie/Lagha and finished in fourth place, albeit significantly improving their scores over the Finlandia Trophy.[32] At their second Grand Prix, the 2022 NHK Trophy in Sapporo, they won the bronze medal, their first Grand Prix medal as a partnership and Green's first.[33][34]
With presumptive national silver medalists Hawayek/Baker missing the 2023 U.S. Championships for health reasons, Green/Parsons entered the event as the favourites for the silver, and finished almost ten points clear of bronze medalists Carreira/Ponomarenko.[35]
Green/Parsons entered the 2023 Four Continents Championships as contenders for the bronze medal, but after Parsons fell in the rhythm dance they placed fifth in that segment, 9.05 points back of Lajoie/Lagha in third.[36] They placed fourth in the free dance, but remained in fifth overall, and finishing behind Carreira/Ponomarenko, who came fourth. Parsons said that they were happy with their performance on the day.[37] They finished sixth in their World Championship debut.[38]
2023–24 season: Second consecutive Grand Prix medal
[edit]Green/Parsons came sixth at the 2023 CS Lombardia Trophy.[39] Following advice from judges there, they opted to discard their original Paula Abdul rhythm dance, switching to a medley of music from Scorpions. Creating the latter program over a period of only a few weeks was "a great learning experience," in the team's view. In its first outing at the 2023 Skate America, they finished fifth in the rhythm dance, and rose to fourth after the free dance. Parsons called the result "a big step towards where we want to be compared to Lombardia Trophy."[40] At their second Grand Prix, the 2023 Cup of China, they placed third in the rhythm dance despite Green losing a twizzle level. Parsons commented that they had "debuted this program at Skate America and at that point it was two weeks old. So now it is four weeks' old and we are happy with progress."[41] Third in the free dance as well, they won their second Grand Prix bronze medal.[42]
In advance of the 2024 U.S. Championships, Green/Parsons were named to the American team for the 2024 Four Continents Championships in Shanghai.[43] They were third in the rhythm dance at the national championships, but multiple errors in the free dance dropped them to fourth place, taking the pewter medal. Parsons deemed it "a disappointing skate."[44] At Four Continents they came fifth in the rhythm dance, and finished sixth overall after a sixth-place free dance. Green said they were "well prepared for a sharp off-season."[45]
2024–25 season
[edit]Green/Parsons started the season by winning silver at the 2024 CS Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur. Going on to compete on the 2024–25 Grand Prix series, they finished fourth at the 2024 NHK Trophy.[46]
