With former partner Chloe Lewis, he is the 2016 Youth Olympic silver medalist, 2016 JGP Estonia bronze medalist, and 2018 U.S. Junior bronze medalist.
Logan Bye was born on March 2, 1998, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. [1] He moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2012, and then, two years later, to Michigan. He has a younger sister named Jessica. [2] In May 2021, he graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, earning a master's degree in biomedical engineering. [3] [4]
Bye began dating Eva Pate in December 2018 before they became on-ice partners. [5] They became engaged in August 2022. [6] They married in May 2024.
Bye began learning to skate in 2001. [1]
Logan Bye and Chloe Lewis met in February 2010 at a rink in Sun Valley, Idaho, and began training together in August 2010. [2] Because they lived in different cities, they trained half a month together and half apart during their first two seasons. [7] [8] During the 2010–11 season, they qualified to compete at the intermediate level at the U.S. Junior Championships, where they finished sixth.
Lewis and Bye placed fourth on the novice level at the 2012 U.S. Championships. They began training together regularly after Bye moved to Beaverton, Oregon, in the autumn of 2012. [2] They won the novice title at the 2013 U.S. Championships.
During the 2013–14 season, Lewis and Bye were coached by Ikaika Young in Portland, Oregon; by Judy Blumberg in Sun Valley, Idaho; and by Igor Shpilband in Novi, Michigan. [2] [9] They were invited to make their international junior debut, appearing twice on the Junior Grand Prix circuit. They finished fifth at the 2013 JGP Mexico in Mexico City, and eleventh at the 2013 JGP Czech Republic in Ostrava. Lewis and Bye ended the season at the 2014 U.S. Junior Championships, where they finished in sixth place. [10]
In 2014–15, Lewis and Bye were coached by Shpilband and Blumberg in Novi, Michigan. [11] Only given one Junior Grand Prix assignment for that season, they finished fifth at the 2014 JGP France in Courchevel, and then finished seventh at the 2015 U.S. Junior Championships. [10]
Lewis and Bye were coached solely by Shpilband going into their third international junior season. [1] Again given two Junior Grand Prix assignments, Lewis and Bye placed fifth at both the 2015 JGP Spain and the 2015 JGP United States. [10]
In January 2016, Lewis and Bye finished sixth at the 2016 U.S. Junior Championships. [10] As a result of this placement, they were selected for Team USA as the lone American entry at the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics in Hamar, Norway. [12] Ranked third in the short dance and second in the free dance, they were awarded the silver medal. [13] [14] Bye said afterward that "being here is an honor and getting a medal it definitely inspires us quite a bit, knowing that all of our work for the season has paid off, and we’re just going to keep on working." [7]
Beginning the season on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, Lewis and Bye finished sixth at the 2016 JGP Czech Republic. [15] [10] They then competed at the 2016 JGP Estonia, where, despite difficulties again in the short dance, they won the bronze medal. [15]
At the 2017 U.S. Junior Championships, Lewis and Bye placed fourth and received the pewter medals. [10]
In their final season on the Junior Grand Prix circuit, Lewis and Bye finished fifth at both the 2017 JGP Australia and the 2017 JGP Italy. [10]
Lewis and Bye won the bronze medal at the 2018 U.S. Junior Championships. By virtue of their top three finish, they were assigned to the American team for the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, [16] where they finished in seventh place. [10]
While the team had initially intended to continue and had planned programs for the following season, Lewis had begun to feel "very burnt out" with training and ultimately chose to retire from competitive skating. [17] [18]
Bye had begun dating solo ice dancer Eva Pate in December 2018, and in June 2019, they decided to become an on-ice partnership. [5] [18] They were coached by Shpilband, Pasquale Camerlengo, Adrienne Lenda, and Natalia Deller in Novi, Michigan. [18]
Pate/Bye made their domestic debut at the Midwestern Sectional Dance Challenge, where they won the silver medal. [19] They went on to win the U.S. Ice Dance Final in Hyannis, Massachusetts. [20] This, in turn, qualified them for their debut at the 2020 U.S. Championships, where they finished in seventh place. [21]
Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, competition opportunities were limited both domestically and internationally for the 2020–21 season. Pate/Bye were assigned to make their Grand Prix debut at the 2020 Skate America in Las Vegas, attended primarily by American skaters due to travel restrictions pandemic. [22] They finished in seventh place. [23]
At the U.S. Championships later that season, they finished in seventh place as well. [23]
With the resumption of a more normal international calendar, Pate/Bye made their season debut at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International, where they finished in fifth place. [23] They were assigned the U.S. Classic where they earned their first international bronze medal. Pate said of the occasion that "we have been training really hard every day and just being able to be out here and put out a clean skate makes me feel really proud of us." [24] Making their debut in the Challenger series, they finished in seventh place at the 2021 Warsaw Cup. [23] [25]
At the U.S. Championships, Pate/Bye finished in eighth place. [23]
Pate/Bye began their season at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International, where they won the silver medal. [23] They were given two Challenger circuit assignments after that, first winning the silver medal at the 2022 U.S International Classic, held in Lake Placid. They set new personal bests in the process, with Bye adding that "we wanted to put out what we've been training, so I thought it went well." [26] They went on to win a second silver medal at the 2022 Nepela Memorial. [27] The team received their second ever Grand Prix assignment at the 2022 Grand Prix de France. Pate described her reaction to the news: "My mom called me, and she was like, ‘You're going to France!’ and I'm like, ‘that’s crazy!’ I was so excited." [25] They finished fifth at the event. [28] Pate/Bye were selected to compete in a third Challenger circuit assignment, the 2022 Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they earned a season's best free dance score and finished in fourth place. [29]
Concluding the season at the 2023 U.S. Championships, Pate/Bye finished eighth for the second consecutive year. [23]
Pate/Bye won the bronze medal at the Lake Placid Ice Dance International in August, before competing at the 2023 Autumn Classic International. They set new personal bests at the competition and won the gold medal. [23] This was the team's first international gold medal. [30] Given two assignments on the Grand Prix assignments, they finished sixth at the 2023 Skate Canada International [31] [32] and fourth at the 2023 Cup of China. [33]
At the 2024 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Pate/Bye finished in fifth place. [23]
