Tai Babalonia - skating history & diversity promoter

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Tai Babalonia - skating history & diversity promoter

Post by Elizabeth »

I'm sure many here remember Tai and Randy as pairs skaters representing the USA, especially with respect to the Lake Placid Olympics. How many know Tai's "back story" (both in skating and life)? As a multi-racial skater she is now actively involved in promoting more diversity in the sport. Read more in this interview:

By the way, for more on Randy (then and now), check out the interview on Skate Proud YouTube as linked in another thread on this forum.

P.S. Tai's father was on the Los Angeles police force and her son Scout is now following in his footsteps.
