REVIEW
Tai
Babilonia and Randy Gardner have spent more than thirty years as skating
partners and best friends. Linked at the ages of eight and ten, they grew up
together, developed a unique pairs style and performing persona, then won the
Championship Pairs event at the 1979 World Figure Skating Championships.
Still at the height of their amateur career, they were forced by Randy’s injury to withdraw from the 1980 Olympics at Lake Placid, New York, just moments before what would have been one of the greatest East-West showdowns in sports history. That disappointment brought Tai and Randy worldwide empathy as well as a long and rich professional career. At the same time, it left behind repressed bitterness that manifested itself in sometimes-dramatic ways.
With
Forever Two As One, a lush, large-scale full-color volume, the
reader relives Tai and Randy’s journey through their own frank commentary;
through the insights of friends like Robin Cousins, Scott Hamilton, Christopher
Knight of The Brady Bunch, Hollywood designer Jef Billings, singer and
songwriter Stevie Nicks, and choreographer Sarah Kawahara; and finally through
133 stunning photos from the skaters’ personal collections.
