History was made in Beijing!
, LeDuc, who uses they/them pronouns, shared how they once had a tryout with a girl who refused to skate with them, and said,"She thought me being gay was going to be a liability." In another incident, they shared, before an international competition, one of their coaches said,"Timothy, go out and show them how masculine you are. That's how you will win."
In 2016, LeDuc found their current partner, Cain-Gribble, she accepted them and their unique partnership. She said on the podcast,"When Timothy and I teamed up, we never wanted to be what was looked at as the traditional team." LeDuc said Cain-Gribble is"such a powerful, amazing athlete," so she wasn't interested in being the stereotypical fragile girl.
Watch this video of LeDuc and Cain-Gribble's winning short skate set to"The White Crow," at the 2022 U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Thursday. Their stunning performance, setting a U.S. Figure Skating Championships record, received a standing ovation, and earned first place. Definitely watch until the end to hear what LeDuc said about calming the devil on thier shoulder, that reminds them of the pressure of the Olympics — it's really inspiring.
