Chris Reed (born July 7, 1989) is an American-Japanese ice dancer who currently represents Japan. With his sister Cathy Reed, he is a seven-time Japanese national champion (2008–2011, 2013-2015). Reed teamed up with ice dancer Kana Muramoto in June 2015,[1] with whom he is the 2015–16 Japanese national champion.

Personal life

Chris Reed was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His mother is Japanese and his father is American.[2] Reed has two skating siblings – his elder sister, Cathy, with whom he competed with in ice dancing, and his younger sister Allison Reed, who is also an ice dancer.[2]

He is currently in a relationship with Austrian figure skater, Kerstin Frank.[3][4]

Career

The Reeds are the 2006 U.S. Novice Dance Champions, but chose to represent Japan beginning in the 2006–2007 season.[5] While Novice national champions are usually given a chance to compete on the Junior Grand Prix, Cathy Reed was too old at the time of their win to compete as a junior internationally. The Reeds were offered a chance to compete for Japan and they took it. They advanced immediately to the senior level, skipping Juniors entirely.

After advancing to the senior level, they placed fourth at the Golden Spin of Zagreb and second at the 2007 Japan Championships. At the 2007 Four Continents, they placed ahead of several teams who had been competing a seniors much longer.

At their Grand Prix debut, the 2007 Skate America, they placed 9th. They placed 8th at their second Grand Prix event, the 2007 NHK Trophy. They won the Japanese national championships. They repeated their 7th-place finish at the Four Continents, and then placed 16th at the 2008 Worlds. They represented Japan at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.[2]

The Reeds were named in the Japanese team to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

After the 2014–15 figure skating season, Cathy retired from competitive figure skating.
