Audrey Shin, Balazs Nagy forge unique pairs' figure skating partnership

Audrey Shin, a 16-year-old American figure skater, and Balazs Nagy, a 27-year-old Hungarian skater, have formed an unexpected but promising pairs figure skating partnership. Despite their significant age difference and Shin's initial lack of pairs skating experience, the duo has quickly shown potential, winning a silver medal at the 2024 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in their first season together.

Nagy, who had been seeking a new partner after parting ways with his previous one, was impressed by Shin's talent and enthusiasm. Together, they have overcome initial challenges like mastering lifts and throws, with Shin adapting to the physical demands of pairs skating. Their unique pairing has not only brought them competitive success but also highlighted the potential for unconventional partnerships in the sport.
