DETROIT — Ashley Cain and Timothy LeDuc, after being doubtful they would even compete at the championships a few weeks ago, won the U.S. pairs’ title on Saturday. It is the first title for the team, who have been together three seasons.
Cain suffered a concussion in December after falling on her head during a lift in a competition in Croatia.
Cain and LeDuc skated last in the session, finishing their free skate and falling to their knees.
“It just was a release and I think this medal isn’t just for us but for everyone who helped us get here,” Cain said after the free skate.
