Winter Olympics 2022 - GB's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson on Olympic experience and tweet from KISS

Not everyone can return home from an Olympic Games saying they were tweeted by KISS. British ice dance duo Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson dazzled in Beijing with a routine performed to a medley of KISS songs (‘I Was Made for Loving You,’ ‘Forever’ and ‘Rock and Roll All Nite’) and were commended by the American rock legends themselves.

The pair may not be taking home medals, but they have their sights set firmly on Milan 2026 and have thoroughly enjoyed the “steppingstone” experience of the Beijing Games. “I just feel very fulfilled coming out of this experience,” said Fear.

/> “From the moment we landed to today, just enjoying the ride of having finished our free dance, it’s just been so joyful. “We’ve been very present, taking it all in and loving it.” Gibson said being recognised by KISS, a group they both admire, was a personal highlight. “Very, very cool.

It’s something that I thought wouldn’t happen. “I think it’s really great just to know you’re being watched but also for us because we appreciate their music so much, we chose to use it for a reason. I think it’s so exciting that they’ve seen it.” Captivating British viewers with their technical performance to Elton John’s Circle of Life, 22-year-old Fear and 27-year-old Gibson gained plenty of supporters back home.
