Namita Nayyar:
You won your first international junior medals competing at minor events, a bronze at the Open d’Andorra and silver at the junior category at the Inge Solar Memorial in 2018. Tell us more about this spectacular achievement of yours?
Natálie Taschlerová:
As I mentioned earlier, winning those medals was a significant achievement that reassured us we were on the right path and should continue working hard towards our dreams. I still vividly remember how happy and grateful I felt for those medals in the junior category.
Namita Nayyar:
You teamed up with your brother Filip Taschler and since then it has been no holding back. You both won a bronze medal in the free dance event at the 2019 JGP United States in Lake Placid, New York. Tell us more about your Ice dance arenas, perfect chemistry between the two of you and synchronizing in perfect harmony when performing in a competition.
Natálie Taschlerová:
Winning the bronze medal in Lake Placid was truly a blessing for us. It came less than a month after our dad passed away, and we were unsure if we would even participate in the competition. Preparing for it was incredibly challenging, especially mentally. Smiling every day and sometimes pretending that nothing had happened was tough. Thanks to the unwavering support from our coaches and everyone around us during those difficult times, we managed to pull through. We got ready and attacked. We prepared, went in determined, and gave it our all. It was a true teamwork. We poured everything into this competition and fought until the very end. There were many tears of pride and gratitude. It was also my brother’s birthday on the day of the competition, making it an even more emotional experience for us.
I believe the key to synchronising in perfect harmony lies in hard work, respect, and communication—basically, repeating things over and over again. Many people assume it’s easier because we’re siblings, but that’s not the case. It’s about relentless hard work and constant repetition. We need to be patient with each other, respect one another, and enjoy the process, even when it’s nerve-racking. We do have a special chemistry between us, but I think every couple has their unique element that sets them apart.
We have a great sense of rhythm and a passion for dancing. We used to be part of a dance group and competed in many dance competitions. We love moving our bodies, searching for deeper meanings, and discovering new ideas. Sharing our emotions, expressing ourselves and what we have to say on the ice is something we’re passionate about. We love to boost people up with our energy and have fun all together.
Namita Nayyar:
How your coach Nikola Višňová and Matteo Zanni have played as a catalyst to your meteoric rise as an ice dancer in the world arena.
Natálie Taschlerová:
I would say it’s all about hard work and consistency. Planning the preparation properly, focusing on our weaknesses, and just putting in the effort again and again, haha.
