We want to just really let out who we truly are this season, and let our inner-light shine,” Fear said in an interview. “That’s what the message means for us.
Strip away the fear of judgment, the fear of criticism, whatever it is you build up over time by being human, and just let ourselves express fully who we are.
That feels raw and vulnerable, but it’s a challenge we were willing to accept.”A post shared by ISU Figure Skating ⛸ (@isufigureskating)A post shared by Team GB (@teamgb)Gibson and his partner, Lilah Fear, are celebrating two big wins.
