The male Figure Skater is in for a shock.

We snapped him earlier today practising with the female Figure Skater as part of his gruelling preparation for Sochi. Here he is landing from a triple flip with a twist, his specialty.

What he doesn’t yet know is that his partner is going to boycott Sochi for the Perthville Games on ideological grounds.

And he’s going to be as lonely as Oetzi on ice.
