The Ice Skating Podcast

Welcome to the first episode of the new series of The Ice Skating Podcast!

2022 is here and all eyes are turning towards China and the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
We are looking forward to the Games with Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson, Great Britain's great new ice dance hope. They are highly excited about heading to their first Olympic Games – can they capture their country's imagination in the way Torvill and Dean once did?
Australia's Kailani Craine is heading to her second Games, after a fantastic experience at PyeongChang 2018. The brilliant Aussie tells us all about how much she loves the Olympic experience, and her routines for the competition.
We are also reporting back from the 2022 European Speed Skating Championships in Heerenveen, Netherlands – an event with both prestigious medals and Olympic spots up for grabs. We speak to Dutch legend Ireen Wust and Norway's Hallgeir Engebraten about their performances – and hopes for next month.
The Ice Skating Podcast is the official pod of The International Skating Union, presented by Luke Norman and Nick Moore.
