Rudi Swiegers Biography

Rudi Swiegers is one of the most popular and richest Figure Skater who was born on August 31, 1987 in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. Rudi Swiegers, a Canadian pair skater, was born August 31, 1987. He is the 2011 Four Continents bronze Medalist, and a four time Canadian national bronze medalist (2011-14) with his former partner Paige Lawrence. Hayleigh Bell was also a competitor.

The pair were promoted to senior status in the 2009-10 season. They finished seventh at the NHK Trophy, but fell to sixth at Nationals.

Lawrence/Swiegers started the 2010–11 season at the 2010 Skate Canada International, where they won their first international medal, a bronze. They were fifth at the 2010 Cup of Russia. At the 2011 Canadian Nationals, they made several mistakes in the long program to finish in third place, their first podium finish at the event as seniors. They were named to the Canadian team for the 2011 Four Continents Championships. At the event, Swiegers was recognized as an example of good sportsmanship after lending his skate to Mark Ladwig during the short program. Ladwig’s boot heel broke during his program and Swiegers, who had skated earlier in the day, quickly offered his own skate so that Ladwig and partner Amanda Evora could return to the ice to finish their program within the time allowed. Lawrence/Swiegers finished second in the short program and fourth in the free skate, with new personal best scores in both segments, and won the bronze medal. Swiegers later received a sportsmanship award from U.S. Figure Skating for his actions.

In late December 2011, Lawrence sustained a concussion in a training accident. The next month, the pair competed at the 2012 Canadian Championships, where they won their second national bronze medal.

Lawrence/Swiegers started slow in junior ranks. They placed 14th at Junior Nationals 2006 and 2007. They moved up to the junior ranks in 2008 and were awarded several international assignments for 2008-09. They finished fourth at the 2009 World Junior Championships after finishing eighth and fifth in their Junior Grand Prix assignments. They finished fourth at the Canadian Nationals senior level.
