Timothy LeDuc’s skating career was basically over. But a gig performing for Royal Caribbean Cruises began a journey to the Olympics.
BEIJING—Timothy LeDuc wanted to get far, far away from competitive figure skating. This is how LeDuc ended up skating on a boat in the middle of the ocean.
In the exceptionally rigid discipline of pairs skating, LeDuc stands out at the Olympics as openly non-binary. There were many times when it seemed they would never make it to Beijing. And it probably wouldn’t have happened if LeDuc hadn’t spent two years skating on cruise ships.
