Biography

Allison Reed was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan[2] to a Japanese mother and American father. She is the younger sister of Japanese ice dancers Cathy and Chris Reed.[3] She grew up in Warren Township, New Jersey and attended Warren Middle School and Watchung Hills Regional High School.[4] She received a Georgian passport in January 2010.[5]

Skating career

Reed started skating at the age of three.[3] Originally a singles skater, she teamed up with her first ice dancing partner, Georgia's Otar Japaridze, in May 2009. They trained in Mount Laurel, New Jersey with coach and choreographer Evgeni Platov.[3] They qualified an entry for Georgia at the 2010 Winter Olympics at the 2009 Nebelhorn Trophy.[6] Reed and Japaridze split following the 2010–2011 season.[7]

In 2012, Reed teamed up with Vasili Rogov to compete for Israel. They withdrew from the 2013 European Championships after Rogov fell ill.[8] They competed at the 2013 World Championships and finished 23rd. They dropped down to 30th at the 2014 World Championships, but moved up to 20th at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, advancing to the Free Skate for the first time at the World Championships. Reed and Vogov announced the end of their partnership on June 24, 2015.[9]

Reed teamed up with Lithuania's Saulius Ambrulevičius in spring 2017.[2] They made their competitive debut at the 2017 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy in September.
