It sounds like Tai Babilonia is a good skater. Most of her success was with her partner Randy Gardner. They won five consecutive national titles. In 1979, they won Worlds. They skated in the 1980 Winter Olympics but had to withdraw; they received the Olympic Spirit Award in 1987. From 1980-1983, Babilonia and Gardner starred in the Ice Capades. In 2009, Babilonia mentored 2008 U.S. pair skating champions, Keauna McLaughlin and Rockne Brubaker.
