We look back at Europeans 2025, a great event in the shadow of tragedy. We celebrate a remarkable win from Nina Petrokina, question the Ice Dance results, and share our bemusement with the men’s competition.

While the 2025 European Championships will forever be inextricably tied in time to the horrific and devastating plane crash in Washington, D.C., the competition did go on. In this episode, we want to celebrate the achievements of the athletes who competed through the grief and sadness that has fallen on the figure skating community.

Women’s Competition

Niina Petrõkina, after fighting through injury, came through when it counted the most and won Europeans in her home town! Even a fluke fall on choreo in her free skate couldn’t stop her from taking the title by nearly 10 points over an excellent effort from former European Champion, Anastasiia Gubanova.

In third, Nina Pinzarrone edged out Kimmy Repond to take her second straight bronze at the competition. 

Ice Dance Competition

It should come as no surprise that the two time reigning European Champions, Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri, made it three in Tallinn. 

The silver medal team of Evgeniia Lopereva and Geoffrey Brissaud appear to be gaining momentum with their two innovative programs this season. Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson settled for bronze. In fourth by .43, Juulia Turkkila and Matthias Versluis were positively stunning — so much so that we can’t help but feel they should have been on the podium.

Men’s Competition

Lukas Britschgi surprised everyone—including himself—and came back from 8th in the short program to take his first European title. 

In second with a stunning free skate was Italy’s Nikolaj Memola, who just keeps getting better and applying more pressure all the time. The favorite coming in, two-time European Champion Adam Siao Him Fa, essentially defeated himself here but still earned the bronze. 

Pairs Competition

Heavy favorites of Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin taking gold in sublime fashion. They are going to be very tough to beat at Worlds in Boston.

In the silver spot were Italy’s comeback of the season, Sara Conti and Niccolò Macii, who looked extremely strong and ready to fight for titles again. In third, Georgia’s Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava came back after a rough short to get back on the podium.
