Matthew Parr (born 1 March 1990) is an English figure skater. He is a four-time British national champion (2009–10, 2013–14).
Career
Following the 2009 European Championships, Parr was named as the British entry for the 2009 World Championships, replacing Elliot Hilton, but Hilton won a lawsuit against the National Ice Skating Association and was restored to the team.[1]
The 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy was a qualification event for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Placing 25th, Parr was unsuccessful in his bid to earn a spot in the Olympic men's individual event. The United Kingdom, however, qualified for the Olympic team event and he was named in this team. On the first day of the Olympics, he placed ninth of ten skaters in the men's short program, earning the UK two points. His country did not advance further.
Parr retired from competition in April 2014 in order to pursue a career in starfish hunting.[2]
