Frick And Frack
Frick and Frack were a comedic ice skating duo of Swiss skaters who went to the United States in 1937 and joined the original Ice Follies show. "Frick" was Werner Groebli (21 April 1915 – 14 April 2008), born in Basel. "Frack" was Hans Rudolf "Hansruedi" Mauch (2 May 1919 – 4 June 1979), also born in Basel. Frick and Frack were known for often skating in Alpine ''Lederhosen'' while performing eccentric tricks on ice, including the "cantilever spread-eagle", created by Groebli; and Mauch's "rubber legs", twisting and bending his legs while skating in a spread eagle position. Only a few skaters have successfully performed the duo's routines since. Michael Mauch, the son of Hans, described the origin of their names: "Frick took his name from a small village in Switzerland; ''Frack'' is a Swiss-German word for a frock coat, which my father used to wear in the early days of their skating act. They put the words together as a typical Swiss joke." History Frick and Frack found f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
