edit

Reed was born inKalamazoo, Michigan.Her mother is Japanese and her father is American.[1]She was a dual citizen of Japan and the United States until she turned 22. Japanese law required those who are dual citizens at birth to relinquish their dual citizenship, so Cathy Reed chose Japanese citizenship at the age of 22 in order to continue to represent Japan in ice dancing.[2]She competed in ice dancing with her younger brotherChris Reeduntil her retirement in April 2015. Her younger sisterAllison Reedis also an ice dancer, who representedGeorgiawithOtar Japaridze,[1]Israel with Vasili Rogov and currently represents Lithuania withSaulius Ambrulevičius.

Reed and her skating siblings grew up inWarren Township, New Jersey.[3]

On March 17, 2020, Reed's sister,Allisonannounced on her social media that their brother,Chris,had suddenly died inDetroit,Michigan,on March 14, 2020, due tocardiac arrest.[4][5]President of the JSF,Akihisa Nagashimapaid tribute to him: "I am absolutely stunned by the sad news. I would like to offer my deepest appreciation to Chris Reed for his contribution to Japanese ice dancing over the years and extend condolences to his family. May Mr. Reed rest in peace."[5]

Amemorial servicewas held at a Michiganfuneral homeon March 21, 2020, and was publiclylive-streamedon numerous platforms. Reed paid tribute to him in both Japanese and English: "I miss your voice. I miss your big smile. I miss holding your hand. But I'll be strong for you, Chris."[6]

At the2022 NHK Trophy,Reed got to see her sister,Allison,whom she hadn't previously been able to see in over two years due to theCOVID-19pandemic.[7]

The Reeds accepted an offer to compete for Japan, advancing immediately to the senior level.[8]

After advancing to the senior level, they placed fourth at the2006 Golden Spin of Zagreb,[10]and second at the 2007Japan ChampionshipsbehindNozomi WatanabeandAkiyuki Kido.[11]At the2007 Four Continents,they placed 7th, ahead of several teams who had been competing as seniors much longer.[12]

Making their Grand Prix debut, the Reeds placed 9th at the2007 Skate Americaand 8th at the2007 NHK Trophy.[13][14]They won theJapanese national championships.[15]They repeated their 7th-place finish at theFour Continents,[16]and then placed 16th at the2008 Worlds.[17]They represented Japan at the2010 Winter OlympicsinVancouver,[18]finishing in 17th place.[19]They won the silver medal at the2011 Asian Winter Games.[5]
