Estonia’s top figure skaters have been shining again in competition, this time at an international competition in neighboring Latvia.

Nataly Langerbaur, who the week before last took part in the European Championships in Sheffield, finishing 19th, led the women’s category after the short program, while Arlet Levandi is doing the same in the men’s.

Langerbaur picked up 58.92 points in a competitive field. This was a PB, breaking the one she set (56.21) just recently at the European Championships.

The Estonian placed a little ahead of Finland’s Selma Valitalo (58.46) and Israel’s Elizabet Gervits (58.04).

Meanwhile, Levandi, 20, scored 79.23 points in the short program and finished with a much more comfortable margin over the runner-up. This, too, was a PB for the Estonian, improving on his previous of 77.45.
