The Adorable Origin Story Behind Figure-Skating Duo Tai Babilonia's and Randy Gardner

Tai Babilonia met her match made in Olympic heaven when she was only 8 years old.

Most people know Tai best for her figure-skating partnership with Randy Gardner. As a pair, they won the 1979 World Figure Skating Championships and qualified for the 1976 and 1980 Winter Olympics (a debilitating injury would keep them from competing in 1980). Tai tells Oprah: Where Are They Now? that she met Randy in 1968, when she was just a kid.

Watch as Tai shares the adorable story of how her and Randy’s lifelong working relationship came to be.
