Career

Single skating

Fancy began learning to skate as an eight-year-old at a small ice rink in Oman.[2] She competed in ladies' singles until the end of the 2012–13 season. She won the junior bronze medal at two consecutive British Championships and was sent to the 2013 World Junior Championships, where she placed 41st. She was coached by Igor Novodran in Oberstdorf, Germany.[3]

Pair skating

In spring 2013, Fancy teamed up with Christopher Boyadji to compete in pair skating.[4][5] In November 2013, the pair won the British national title ahead of defending champions Stacey Kemp / David King.[6] Fancy/Boyadji placed 15th at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest, Hungary, and 18th at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama, Japan.

Following an elbow surgery in November 2014, they were unable to compete at the 2015 British Championships. They were sent to the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, where they placed 12th. The pair finished 16th at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai.

Fancy/Boyadji won the bronze medal at the 2015 CS Tallinn Trophy and placed 8th at a Grand Prix event, the 2015 NHK Trophy, as well as winning their second national title. In January 2016, they withdrew from the 2016 European Championships and announced the end of their partnership.[7] They were coached by Alexander König and Mark Naylor in Oberstdorf, Germany.[1]
