@melissaskavinska: What does it take to bring a figure skating competition to life? During my time at ICEskatERA OPEN in Toruń, Poland, I had the opportunity to sit down with the organiser, Sylwia, to understand the inspiration behind the event. We spoke about her vision, her passion for figure skating and what drives her to continue creating opportunities for young athletes, particularly in a country where the sport is still finding its audience. What interested me most was hearing the story from someone who experiences a competition from a completely different perspective — not as a skater, coach or spectator, but as the person responsible for bringing it all together. This conversation is part of my behind-the-scenes coverage of ICEskatERA OPEN, exploring the people and stories that often go unnoticed beyond the performances.
