Edgar finished third in the men's event, earning them the bronze medal as a pair. Their success at the 1908 Olympics was a testament to their dedication, passion, and unwavering partnership both on and off the ice. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of competition, sportsmanship, and love that defined their groundbreaking Olympic journey. This image is a precious piece of history, showcasing the Syers' incredible achievements in figure skating during a time when the sport was just beginning to gain international recognition.
