Olympic Ice Skaters Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier Mesmerize Audiences with Dazzling Routine
Figure skating is one of the most graceful yet demanding sports, requiring perfect timing, balance, skill, and agility. Alexa Knierim and Brandon Frazier, the celebrated American figure skating duo, have clearly mastered all of it—earning titles as U.S. champions, world champions, and Olympic gold medalists. Late last year, they brought their artistry to New York, performing at a skating rink’s opening ceremony—and they left no doubt why they are considered among the best.
Performing to a dramatic orchestral track from U.S. rock band Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Alexa and Brandon wowed the crowd with daring leaps, intricate footwork, and breathtaking lifts—all executed flawlessly on the ice. Their opening move set the tone: Brandon lying on the ice and lifting Alexa high above him, a daring feat that immediately signaled they were there to impress. Dressed in coordinated purple costumes, they radiated elegance throughout their three-and-a-half-minute routine.
Daring Moves and Impeccable Timing
The most jaw-dropping moments came toward the end of their performance, featuring bold and complex lifts. In one highlight, Alexa wrapped her feet around Brandon’s neck as he spun her around. In another, Brandon astonishingly held Alexa aloft with just one hand—an incredibly risky move pulled off with absolute precision. As one viewer perfectly put it:
“Alexa and Brandon are perfect.”
A Legacy of Excellence
If their New York performance left you wanting more, fans can revisit their breathtaking 2022 routine that secured their World Figure Skating Champion title in Montpellier. Filled with more gravity-defying lifts and intricate choreography, it’s a performance guaranteed to leave viewers amazed.
According to the official Olympics website, Alexa and Brandon have decided to step back from competitive skating—for now. While their retirement is bittersweet news for fans, their past performances remain a gift, capturing their incredible skill and chemistry forever.
