Ashley Cain-Gribble Update

A status update is coming on Azaylia Cain-Gribble, Ashley Cain’s daughter. The couple got engaged in March, and were set to wed on June 1 of this year. The couple had planned to wed in June, but Azaylia’s illness forced them to cancel their plans. The pair is undergoing medical tests to determine the cause of Azaylia’s death. COVID-19, a viral infection which causes inflammation of the respiratory tract, had caused her asthma.

The North Texas figure skater, who competes as a pair with Timothy LeDuc, has been injured during the world championships. Her injury occurred during a free skate when she fell on the ice and hit her head. Afterwards, she was taken off the ice on a stretcher. Afterwards, she and LeDuc were in second place and looking to give the USA a one-two after the short program.

Cain-Gribble started skating at the Rideau Canal in Canada when she was just two years old. She began competing in pairs at age four and has won the U.S. Nationals twice. She has twice won the novice and junior pairs competitions. She also has a $1 million net worth. She has light brown hair and grey eyes. Cain-Gribble is active on multiple social networks including Instagram and Twitter.

The news that LeDuc and Cain-Gribble will coach together at the Winter Olympics is encouraging for the sport. They will compete in the short program Jan. 6 and free skate Jan. 8. This is great news for openly trans athletes. They will compete in pairs, unlike their male counterparts. Despite being new to the sport, CainGribble and LeDuc will be an elite position and will make history as openly trans athletes at the Winter Games.

The world championships are just around the corner. The US won the first ever figure skating match group win in over 40 year. After Cain-Gribble’s three falls during the competition, LeDuc and Cain-Gribble took eighth place in the introduction event. The Americans couldn’t finish the competition and the pair fell in three events: a side-jump and a triple loop.

Following their World Cup performance, Cain/LeDuc competed at the 2017 CS Lombardia Trophy, where they placed fourth. Cain and LeDuc then competed in the four Continents Championships, where they were the sole team from America. This was their first medal since the accident. They competed in the 2018 Four Continents Championships in February. Cain and LeDuc won silver in the ice dancing competition.
