But Karam, who's studying human kinetics at Windsor, wasn't ready to close the door on skating just yet. So she's moving forward with Kevin O'Keefe, a 24-year-old from Maine who happened to be partnerless himself and was training in the same Canton rink (his girlfriend, U.S. pairs champion Brooke Castile, is also based there).
"He wanted to skate with me for awhile, but he didn't say anything until after Josh and I were done," said Karam.
