Trent retires from figure skating
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- U.S. pairs skater Derek Trent has retired, ending his partnership with Tiffany Vise.
The couple competed together for six years and was the first to land a throw quadruple salchow in international competition, at 2007 Trophee Eric Bompard, where they finished fourth.
In 2008, Vise and Trent finished fourth at the national championships.
"We are thankful for the time and success we had as a team, and we will continue to support each other in the future," Vise and Trent said.
Vise now will skate with Don Baldwin, who most recently was paired with Jennifer Brunn, and will continue to train in Peoria, Ariz., under the coaching of 1988 Olympic bronze medalist Jill Watson.
