Another Italian fairy tale: Daniel Grassl is the first blue to win a men's Grand Prix race!

Figure skating: the twenty-year-old South Tyrolean feat in Sheffield, now the Turin finals are closer. For the Italian national team another podium arrives with the Conti-Macii couple and today Guignard and Fabbri can dream ...

More and more in history. The blue Italy shines in the world of figure skating, in a dream first part of the season for the national team which, after the first victory in the Grand Prix obtained by Charlène Guignard and Marco Fabbri in dance at the Angers stage, gives a double podium at the opening of the new appointment in Sheffield (“MK John Wilson Trophy”), with another “first” from the history of the discipline. Yes, because a blue had never prevailed in a men's race of the maximum circuit: the company bears the signature of Daniel Grassl, already a fantastic protagonist at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Games, who puts on the British ice the best performance of the season by completing a program fairytale-free, with a quadruple lutz, a double axel and seven triple jumps, including two axel, to establish himself and give himself a chance to access the Grand Prix final, scheduled for December in Turin. With 264.35 points, the South Tyrolean class of 2002 preceded the Latvian Deniss Vasiljevs by almost 10 points, with the Japanese Sato Shun third with a score of 249.03. As Massimiliano Ambesi reports, Italy is now one of the five countries, along with Canada, Russia, the United States and France, to boast at least one success in the figure skating Grand Prix in each of the four specialties. And the beauty is that the evening in Sheffield was opened by Sara Conti and Niccolò Macii with another placement on the podium: after the 3rd of Skate Canada, the blue artistic couple gives themselves a terrific 2nd place in Sheffield .
