1:40Now PlayingFigure skating pairs partners Danny O'Shea and Ellie Kam have a 14-year age difference - something almost unheard of in elite pairs skating. In this clip, they reveal the unique story of how they came together when Danny was helping coach after retiring, and Ellie's previous partnership ended mid-season. Danny had already represented Team USA for 14 years and was stepping away from competition when their coach asked him to work with partnerless skaters.

Hear how this age gap actually became an advantage, with Danny's maturity and experience combining with Ellie's drive and fresh perspective to create a powerful team dynamic.
