Oxana Vouillamoz (21) and Tom Bouvart (24) achieved an exploit in the pairs' event at the European Figure Skating Championships in Sheffield. After the short program, the Swiss pair are in 6th place.
A year ago, Vouillamoz/Bouvart came 13th at the European Championships and 20th at the World Championships. "We're now more used to competitions this big," said Tom Bouvart. "We knew what to expect."
The many spectators inspired the Swiss pair skating team.
This season, Vouillamoz/Bouvart skated to 3rd place at the last start before winning the Swiss Championships at the "Golden Spin" in Zagreb.
