Tali and Lafornara teamed up in 2023 and rapidly showed strong results. In this interview, they tell their story on how they began skating, switching to ice dance and teaming up. After a successful tryout in Italy, Lafornara moved from the USA to Milan in order to skate with Tali. They retrace their first steps together on the ice as well as first challenges they faced.

Preparations for the Junior Grand Prix Final weren’t easy for the team as they faced injuries and pressure. A good mental preparation was therefore key to their success in France.

The young team has firmly decided that they will move up to the senior ranks after they compete in their last junior event at the 2025 Junior World Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. They explain their next steps and what they think they need to work on and refine in order to be competitive in the senior ranks.

Tali and Lafornara are also eyeing the 2026 Olympic Games which will be on home their turf in Milan. They may have a shot to qualify alongside Italy’s top team Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri. This would be a once in a lifetime opportunity for Tali, who was born in Milan.

Lafornara, who previously competed for the US but has Italian ancestors, is currently in the process of gaining Italian citizenship.

Very excited to see how they will do at Junior Worlds! What are your thoughts on this talented team?
 
I absolutely love this team they have grabbed my attention.They have a lovely chemistry on the ice and are fast and smooth.I hear they are turning senior next season.I hope they go to olympics and team up with Fusa Poli !
