Watch: Lilah Fear’s Jaw-Dropping Routine Breaks Records at European Figure Skating Championships

British ice dancer Lilah Fear is poised to light up the rink and the San Siro skyline at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Just days before competition begins, Team GB announced Fear as one of two Opening Ceremony flagbearers—making her the first British ice dancer to shoulder the Union Flag since Christopher Dean in 1984. Rising from World-bronze glory Fear and partner Lewis Gibson broke a 41-year drought for British ice dancing with their historic World Championship bronze in 2025, catapulting them into medal contention this February. Their record-setting scores and infectious showmanship have earned them a global following and valuable momentum heading into the Olympic team event. ‘Spice Up Your Life’—literally For their rhythm dance, the duo will skate to a high-energy Spice Girls medley featuring “Wannabe,” “Viva Forever,” and “Spice Up Your Life.” Gibson’s leopard-print top nods to Mel B, while Fear’s Union Jack dress channels Geri Halliwell. The pair hope the performance may even spark a Spice Girls reunion—after Mel B publicly cheered them on via Instagram. Carrying the flag, carrying a movement Fear calls the flagbearing honor “a beautiful sense of community,” reflecting both personal pride and the resurgence of British figure skating on the world stage. Chef de Mission Eve Muirhead praised her “positive influence within Team GB,” underscoring Fear’s role as mentor to younger skaters and advocate for women in sport.
