Filippo Clerici (born 3 July 2001) is an Italian pair skater who currently competes for Finland. With his current skating partner, Milania Väänänen, he is the 2023 CS Golden Spin gold medalist, 2023 Tayside Trophy bronze medalist, and two-time Finnish national champions.
Career[edit]
2022–23 season[edit]
The newly formed team of Väänänen and Clerici competed only once during the 2022–23 season, winning the 2023 Finnish Champions in December 2022. They were ineligible to compete at spring championship events as they had not attained their technical minimums through international competition in the fall.
2023–24 season[edit]
Väänänen and Clerici began their season with the goal of attaining their ISU technical minimum scores in order to be eligible to compete at the 2024 European Championships and the World Championships.[1] The team mearned their minimums during their international debut at the 2023 Lombardia Trophy, where they finished in seventh place. Following the event, Clerici commented, "We are really happy to have reached the technical point limits for the European Championship and the World Championship... Next we will focus on the levels and the quality of the elements in order to increase our points."[2]
At their next event, the 2023 Finlandia Trophy, Väänänen and Clerici were warmly received by a home audience. They placed sixth in the short program and rose to fourth in the free skate with a new personal best score to finish in fourth place overall. The following week, the team competed at the 2023 Tayside Trophy, where they won their first international medal: a bronze medal.
