A feast for the eyes, that’s what this year’s edition of Art on Ice has been for the figure skating fans traveling to Switzerland at the beginning of February. Just look at these names and you’ll understand my enthusiasm. Carolina Kostner, Stephane Lambiel, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, Daisuke Takahashi, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov, Joannie Rochette, Sarah Meier, Florent Amodio, Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov, Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, Fiona Zaldua and Dmitri Sukhanov – all of them were in Zurich, Lausanne and Davos for the ten shows of Art on Ice anniversary edition, alongside singers Nelly Furtado, Marc Sway and Tom Odell. I’ll say it differently: 11 Olympic, 23 World, 25 European and 13 Four Continents medals gathered in Switzerland from 5th to 14th February – and Inside Skating invites you to relive the emotions of this particular encounter with the stars. Loads of photos from the premiere (February 5th) are published below, including some snapshots from the After Show Party. Do pay us a visit the following days for more…
