Meet Ashley Cain & Timothy LeDuc: Rewriting Their Story
Career
LeDuc began learning to skate when he was 12 years old and started private lessons two years later. He placed 7th in the novice men's category at the 2008 U.S. Championships.
Early partnerships
Competing in novice pairs, LeDuc placed tenth with Lauren Gifford at the 2010 U.S. Championships.
With Cassie Andrews, he won the junior bronze medal at the 2011 U.S. Championships and finished ninth at the 2011 World Junior Championships in Gangneung, South Korea. Moving up to the senior level the following season, they placed 11th at the 2012 U.S. Championships.
LeDuc teamed up with DeeDee Leng in June 2012. After placing 9th at the 2013 U.S. Championships, they were assigned to the International Challenge Cup, where they finished 5th. The following season, the pair placed 6th at the 2013 International Cup of Nice and 7th at the 2014 U.S. Championships. After their partnership ended in 2014, LeDuc skated with his sister for two years in Willy Bietak ice shows on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. After completing his contract in March 2016, he decided to return to competition.
Partnership with Cain
Following a suggestion from U.S. Figure Skating's Mitch Moyer, LeDuc tried out with Ashley Cain in May 2016. On May 23, 2016, they confirmed their intention to compete together. The pair is coached by her father, Peter Cain, in Euless, Texas.
Cain/LeDuc received three Challenger Series assignments. After placing fourth at the 2016 Nebelhorn Trophy and 2016 Finlandia Trophy, they were awarded the bronze medal at the 2016 Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they upgraded their twist from a double to a triple. Cain stated, "We just started rotating it days before we left for that competition."
