NHK Trophy debut
The competition saw the participation of some of the best ice dance couples in the world, including Meryl Davis and Charlie White (USA ) who won the gold medal .
We earned the sixth place in the Short Dance (and with a level 4 in one of the sequences of Finnstep ) and the seventh in the final standings, preceded by the japanese couple, the Reed/Reed brothers. Our Free Dance was performed without any error and we were really happy with our performance but it was not rewarded by the judges in levels and scores.
The competition was very difficult, also because Stephen has competed with a shoulder disorder in a fall from the bike on the eve of leaving for Tokyo and also cheered by an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 during the training of the Free Dance. We will keep working even harder then before, starting from the next competitions (Icechallenge of Graz, Golden Spin of Zagreb and in particular of the German Championships in December.
Thanks to everyone for the support and see you soon.
