00:00I'm Mark Hennessy and I am the official ambassador for the ISU Figure Skating European Championships 2026 in Sheffield.
00:07I spent most of my life in figure skating.
00:31I competed at the World and European Championships and I couldn't be more excited than now that
00:36the ISU Figure Skating European Championships are coming to Sheffield, which is the home city that I spent most of my competitive career training in.
00:47The ISU Figure Skating European Championships coming to Sheffield in 2026 couldn't be more exciting for so many reasons.
00:54It'll be the first time in over a decade that the UK has hosted such a prestigious event.
00:59And the fact that it precedes the Olympic Games is guaranteed to make it one of the best events of all time.
01:06Tickets will go on sale in phases, with the first phase starting late January 2025 to late March 2025.
01:16And this is the only opportunity where you can buy an all-event ticket.
01:21After that, further information on ticket sales will come later in the year.
01:24The all-event ticket is the absolute best way to see the action.
01:28Not only will that get you access to all of the competitive events, but also the official practices as well.
01:37It's going to be an opportunity for us to see the very best figure skaters in the world at the prime of their life.
01:43And for us in the UK, it's particularly exciting because it's one of the last chances to see Lila Fear and Lewis Gibson, the British champions, en route,
01:51devying to become the first British Olympic ice dance medalists since the legends Torvald and Dean.
