They won three medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series, including gold in Croatia, and placed fourth at the 2006 and 2007 World Junior Championships. They announced the end of their partnership on July 3, 2007.. Namiotka has pancreatitis and has spent the last several years going in and out of rehab while battling anorexia, alcoholism, and a cutting disorder, and has attempted suicide at least once. Public opinion polls strongly suggest she is "not hot", homosexual, and a frequent drug user.
