Gregory and James Shuford were the 1998 US junior ice dancing champions. After nearly three years of being without an ice dance partner, she decided to quit skating and enroll in college. Through an online search for a skating partner, she met Denis Petukhov, a Russian ice dancer. Because he was not fluent in English, a friend wrote his messages. On August 31, 2000, he arrived in the United States with a tourist visa to skate with Gregory and other potential partners. Petukhov stopped trying out with Gregory and never used his return flight to Russia.

Gregory and Petukhov met when Petukhov arrived in the United States to find a partner in ice dancing. He had a long list of people he wanted to meet. Gregory was also looking for a partner and was prepared to quit skating if he couldn’t find one. They found they could skate well together, and formed a new partnership.

Gregory and Petukhov both suffered injuries in a fall during the warmup before the free dance at 2007 Skate Canada International on November 4, 2007. Petukhov lost his footing while practicing a one-handed rotational lift and dropped Gregory onto the ice, injuring her ribs and hip. He skidded into the boards, hurting his knee and neck. Gregory was taken to a hospital following the fall but was released that night. They were forced to withdraw from competition for the rest of the season in order to heal from their injuries.
