Vaipan-Law and Digby embrace success; eye 2026 Olympics
Anastasia Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby
Great Britain’s pair skaters, Anastasia Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby, are enjoying the most successful season of their careers, breaking personal bests and achieving a remarkable fifth-place finish at the 2025 European Championships. Their performances have firmly established them among Europe’s top teams.
At the 2025 European Championships in Tallinn, they delivered two strong skates, earning a total of 183.76 points. However, the competition wasn’t without challenges—Vaipan-Law suffered a frightening fall during practice before the free skate. She shares details of the scare and how they managed to stay focused despite the setback. Competing in the top group for the free skate was a thrilling experience for them, but rather than adding pressure, they embraced the moment with confidence.
This season, the four-time British national champion have found their own unique style, describing how their programs just “clicked.” They also reveal the story behind Anastasia’s very special short program dress.
Reflecting on their journey, they recall how they first got into figure skating in a country where the sport isn’t widely followed and how they transitioned from singles to pairs—a move that ultimately shaped their careers.
Off the ice, both are happily in relationships with other partners, with Luke planning his wedding for summer 2026. They open up about how they navigate working so closely together while maintaining their personal relationships.
Looking ahead, they discuss their next goals and the steps needed to close the gap to the top teams. While aiming to compete at the 2026 Milan Olympics, they also have another major milestone in sight for the 2025-26 season: the European Championships in Sheffield, Digby’s hometown. They express their excitement about the opportunity to perform in front of a home crowd.
