Cathy and Chris Reed lived a nomadic life growing up. Just when it looked like it had finally settled down, they found themselves back on the road again.
Born to a Japanese mother and an American father in Michigan, the sibling ice dancing duo currently skates for Japan via their dual nationality. They are scheduled to compete in the Four Continents Championship next month in South Korea and the world championships in Sweden in March.
Cathy, now 20, and Chris, 18, began skating at around the same time — when she was 7 and he was 5. Their mother, who was born near Tokyo, provided the inspiration.
