Jayin Panesar (born October 10, 2003) is a British ice dancer who currently competes for Brazil with Natalia Pallu-Neves.

Contents

With Pallu-Neves, he is the 2022 British national junior bronze medalist. They began representing Brazil in the 2022–23 season, becoming the first Brazilian ice dancers to ever compete in the senior level. He previously represented Great Britain with Pallu-Neves at the junior level, and with Emily Phillips at the novice level.

Career

Early career

Panesar began skating at around age seven. Initially he focused on ice hockey, but he later switched to figure skating and tried ice dancing after a coach's suggestion. [1]

He teamed up with Emily Phillips for the 2013–14 season. They won their first national medal, a bronze at the 2016 British Championships in the novice level, winning the event three years later. They split after six seasons competing together.

2021–22 season: Junior Grand Prix debut

Pallu-Neves and Jayin Panesar established their new partnership in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and officially debuted internationally in the 2021–22 Junior Grand Prix circuit in Courchevel, France, where they finished in thirteenth place. [2] They won the bronze medal at the 2022 British Junior Championships.

2022–23 season: senior Brazilian ice dancers debut

Pallu-Neves and Panesar allegedly faced challenges due to a lack of support from the British Ice Skating organization during the 2021–22 season, which lead them to switch countries to Brazil, Pallu-Neves' parents home country, instead. Pallu-Neves explained, "We didn't have the support to succeed. So the season was very difficult. The federation didn't help at all." [3] However, due to the recent change in their country of representation, they were unable to compete in any ISU events until after February 2023, as they had to comply with the mandatory one-year suspension imposed by the ISU on athletes changing their representation. [4]

Despite these challenges, Pallu-Neves and Panesar aimed to qualify for the 2023 World Championships and made their debut in the senior category at the 2023 Egna Dance Trophy, which made them the first senior team to ever represent Brazil in ice dance. They achieved a total score of 124.05 points and met the required technical scores in rhythmic dance for the 2023 Four Continents Championships.

The team also participated in the 2023 Challenge Cup, their final opportunity at that season to earn the necessary minimum technical scores for a 2023 World Championships entry. However, Pallu-Neves and Panesar finished in thirteenth place with a total of 123.95 points, failing to meet the required scores for a World Championships entry.

2023–24 season: Four Continents spot

In 2023, Pallu-Neves/Panesar changed coaches to former British ice dance champions Nicholas Buckland and Penny Coomes and moved to Philadelphia. [5]

They started their competitive season at the Lombardia Trophy Challenger where they finished at 15th, achieving a new official personal best. In October, they competed at the Swiss Open Trophy, where a historical mark was achieved as they managed to get the necessary minimum technical scores for a Four Continents Championships entry, the first ever for Brazil. They also managed to get their World Championships minimum technical scores, although for the free dance only. [6] In February, Pallu-Neves and Panesar became the first Brazilian ice dance team to ever compete at an ISU Championship [7] after their 14th place finish at the 2024 Four Continents Championships. [8] At the 2024 Challenge Cup, they finished in 10th place; they were short of the minimum technical score for the World Championships in the rhythm dance by less than a point. [9]

2024–25 season

Beginning the season by competing on the 2024–25 ISU Challenger Series, Pallu-Neves/Panesar finished 15th at the 2024 CS Denis Ten Memorial Challenge and 12th at the 2024 CS Trophée Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur. [10]
