Pair skating discipline of figure skating

Pair skating is a figure skating discipline. The International Skating Union (ISU) defines pair skating as "the skating of two persons in unison who perform their movements in such harmony with each other as to give the impression of genuine Pair Skating as compared with independent Single Skating". The ISU also states that a pairs team must consist of "one Lady and one Man". Pair skating, along with men's and women's single skating, has been an Olympic discipline since figure skating, the oldest Winter Olympic sport, was introduced at the 1908 Olympic Games in London. The ISU World Figure Skating Championships introduced pair skating in 1908.

With partner Suzanne Diskeuve, in 1947 he won bronze medals at both the European Figure Skating Championships (in Davos) [1] [2] and the World Figure Skating Championships (in Stockholm). [3] [4] [1] [5]

The 1947 European Figure Skating Championships were the European Figure Skating Championships of the 1946-1947 season. Elite senior-level figure skaters from European ISU Member Nations, in addition to the United States, Canada, and Australia, competed for the title of European Champion. Athlets from Germany and Austria were not admitted. Austrian skaters Eva Pawlik and Edi Rada probably would have won medals. Skaters competed in the disciplines of ladies' singles, men's singles, and pair skating.

The World Figure Skating Championships is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union in which figure skaters compete for the title of World Champion.
