Personal life

Rand's younger brother Taavi Rand is also an ice dancer. His mother, Lea Rand, is a coach in Estonia.

Career

Early in his career, he competed with Grethe Grünberg.[1] They were the first Estonian figure skaters to win a medal at an ISU Championships (2007 Junior Worlds)[2][3][4] and the first Estonian ice dancers to win a medal on the Junior Grand Prix circuit (2005 Tallinn Cup).

They missed the 2007–2008 skating season due to injury. Grünberg retired following that season. Rand teamed up with American Caitlin Mallory to compete for Estonia. They began competing together in the 2008–2009 season. They missed the 2010–11 season as a result of Rand's compulsory one-year military service, and both he and Mallory plan to finish college.[5]
