About Christine Hough

Christine "Tuffy" Hough is a Canadian former pair skater. With Doug Ladret, she is the 1988 Canadian national champion and finished in the top ten at two Winter Olympics, in 1988 and 1992. That season, Hough/Ladret returned to the national podium, taking their second bronze medal, and were assigned to their first World Championships. Hough/Ladret's best season was 1987–88; they won the 1987 Skate Canada International and went on to win the national title as well. The pair won the bronze medal at 1985 Canadian nationals and finished fourth the following season. I pulled Tuffy forward as I was falling; my first thought was to make sure she was OK.
