EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for ice skating legends Edgar and Madge Syers at the 1908 Olympics in London. The image shows Edgar, dressed in a sleek black outfit, gracefully leading his wife Madge across the ice, both of them displaying the poise and precision that earned them the bronze medal in the Pairs Figure Skating event. The Princes Skating Club in Knightsbridge, London, served as the prestigious venue for the winter sports competition, attracting athletes from around the world. The United Kingdom was proud to host the Games, which marked the first time figure skating was included in the Olympic program. Edgar and Madge, a married couple, had already made history by becoming the first British pair to win a European figure skating title just a year earlier. Their impressive performance at the Olympics further solidified their place in the annals of ice skating history.
