Some say if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or, if life gives you potatoes, make vodka. In either case, it’s an optimistic view; 2020 tossed us a live hand grenade and told us to deal with it.
The 2019 U. S. National Pairs Champion figure skaters Ashley Cain-Gribble and her queer partner Timothy LeDuc were gliding along into 2020 in fine form. They were looking to defend their national title, with an eye on a return trip to the world championships. The top two finishers at Nationals traditionally are chosen for the World team, and in 2020 two teams were qualified based on the top-10 placement of Cain-Gribble & LeDuc at the previous 2019 world competition.
