The Principality figure skater qualified for the upcoming world championships, which will take place from March 18 to 24 in Montreal (Canada).

25-year-old Davide, who we met some months ago, put in a strong performance at the Merano Ice Trophy.

This enabled the figure skater to become the first Monegasque resident ever to qualify for the world championships. A remarkable performance, after finishing 24th in the last European championships in Kaunas (Lithuania) in January.

His string of promising results could bring him even closer to his ultimate dream: to take part in the next Olympic Winter Games, in Milan 2026.

“There are not many Monegasque skaters, so it is always a pleasure to fly the flag of the Principality internationally,”  said Valérie Gallo, president of the Monegasque Skating Federation.

If he continues to shine internationally, Davide Lewton-Brain could soon be making Monaco’s flag a permanent fixture on the figure skating world stage.
