Si sono aperte da pochi giorni le iscrizioni per gli ISU Skating Awards 2023, l’evento glamour voluto fortemente dalla Federazione Internazionale per premiare i migliori pattinatori che più si sono distinti nel pattinaggio di figura. Nell’edizione di quest’anno che verrà celebrata il prossimo 5 febbraio spicca anche l’Italia con ben tre esponenti.
Nella categoria per il “miglior costume” è presente infatti Daniel Grassl grazie allo splendido body curato dalla costumista nonché commentatrice tecnica di Eurosport Marika Poli per lo short program 2022-2023. Dentro anche Guignard-Fabbri con il costume della free dance disegnato da Maria Luigia Zocchi & Denise Pelligro.
Nella categoria “programma più intrattenente” brillano inoltre Rebecca Ghilardi-Filippo Ambrosini per lo short program di quest’anno pattinato sulle note dei Queen. Per la sezione più attesa, quella del miglior pattinatore in assoluto, se la giocheranno invece lo statunitense Nathan Chen, il nipponico Yuma Kagiyama, Riku Miura-Ryuichi Kihara, i danzatori francesi Papadakis-Cizeron, la nipponica Kaori Sakamoto, la russa Anna Shcherbakova, i cinesi Sui-Han e il giapponese Uno Shoma.
Tra le altre categorie inoltre spicca quella di “miglior allenatore“, con in lizza Rafael Arutunian, Mie Hamada, Stèphane Lambiel, Sonoko Nakano, Todd Sand, Romanin Haguenauer e Patrice Lauzon. Di seguito tutti i dettagli.
