From Frank lifting Anita onto his shoulders and spinning around the ice with her upside down to their dangerous yet flawless stunts, their routine showcased remarkable strength, timing, and athleticism.
Their synchronized and fearlessly executed moves captivated the spectators throughout the routine. Frank’s daring flips and spins with Anita defying gravity, including an impressive moment where he held her upside down while twirling her in a circle mere inches from the ice, left the audience in awe. The highlight of the performance came when Frank lifted Anita by one leg, swinging her with incredible speed and intensity, showcasing their exceptional trust and skill. Anita Hartshorn and Frank Sweiding proved that age should not limit one’s passion and talent, as their timeless and remarkable ice skating routine would be impressive even for athletes half their age.
