Mikkeline Kierkgaard

Mikkeline Kierkgaard (born May 25, 1984) is a Danish figure skater.

Biography

Kierkgaard was born in Hundested, Denmark. Her younger sister Anemone Kierkgaard was also a competitive skater.

She competed as a single skater in Denmark. She was a two-time Danish junior national champion and was the 2000 Danish national champion. Her 7th place finish at the 2000 European Figure Skating Championships set a record as being the highest placement for a Danish lady at any ISU Figure Skating Championships, and was the first top-ten finish for a Danish lady since Ester Bornstein placed 8th at the 1934 European Figure Skating Championships.

Because of injury, she switched from single skating to pair skating. She teamed up with Norman Jeschke in 2002 to compete for Germany. They were the 2004 German bronze medalists but were unable to compete internationally that season due to International Skating Union rules regarding country changes. Their partnership eventually ended due to Kierkgaard's injuries.

She was the skating double for Claire Danes in It's All About Love.
