Hera Bjork Ice Skating Event

January 27, 2025

The Melbourne Sports Photography team photographed a unique event this month - Hera Bjork singing while some of Victoria's leading ice skaters performed around her! This fascinating event was a fund raising initiative hosted by Ice Skating Victoria and held at O'brien Icehouse in Docklands.

If you are a Eurovision Song Contest fan, you may know that Hera Bjork represented Iceland in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest. The Melbourne Sports Photography team on the night, Craig and Phil, found out she had a big voice as she performed some well known songs. She is currently conducting a tour of Australia with a number of performances around the country.

Making this event unique, she was performing on the ice with skaters in action around her.

The skaters seemed to really enjoy the event, free from the pressures of competing and able to enjoy the skating, the music, and the people.
