Monaco Figure Skating Reaches New Highs in Europe. Next the World Championships?
Monaco Figure Skating reaches new highs. After a success in the European Championships in Tallinn it is the World Championships and the Olympics in Milan and Cortina that are next in sight for Davide Lewton Brain.
The figure skater managed to put in a career high performance in Tallinn that led to the latest breakthrough. He was breathtakingly on the cusp of moving into the Top 20 in Europe and in the end pulled off the achievement. All the more credit to him against the giants in the sport like Russian skaters who train from age four whereas Davide emerged as having potential only after 11 years old.
