⛸️ It was a dazzling Olympic debut for North Texas figure skating pairs Ashley Cain-Gribble and Timothy LeDuc, who also made history in the process.
"We were so joyous," LeDuc said after the performance."Just from the moment that we took the ice, I looked around and was like, 'Oh, my gosh.' I was that small kid 20 years ago watching this and here I am."
China's Cheng Peng and Yang Jin, who followed Cain-Gribble and LeDuc, jumped into the top spot with a score of 76.10. Yet to skate are Russian Olympic Committee gold-medal contenders Anastasia Mishina and Aleksandr Galliamov, the reigning world champions, and Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitrii Kozlovskiy, who earned bronze at the 2021 world championships. Also competing will be Chinese duo Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, silver medalists at the 2018 PyeongChang Games.
The top 16 pairs advance to Saturday's free skate, which will begin at 6 a.m. ET on USA Network, Peacock and NBCOlympics.com.
