Noemi Maria Tali (born 22 March 2005) is an Italian ice dancer. With her current skating partner, Noah Lafornara, she is the 2024 JGP Latvia champion, the 2024 JGP Thailand champion, and the 2024 Italian junior national champion.

Personal life

[edit]

Tali was born on 22 March 2005 in Milan, Italy. Her younger sister, Miriam, competes for Italy in women's singles.[1]

Career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Tali began learning how to skate as a child by attending public rink sessions for fun with her family. She also pursued classical dance and skiing before deciding to take up figure skating more seriously. Tali trained solely as a single skater until age 10, when her choreographer suggested she try ice dance, paired with her first skating partner, Stefano Frasca. She continued to practice both single skating and ice dance until she was 12, at which point she switched her focus completely to dance.[2]

2023–24 season: Debut of Tali/Lafornara

[edit]

Tali/Frasca made the decision to end their eight-year partnership shortly after finishing in seventeenth place at the 2023 Junior Worlds. Two weeks later, Tali was offered a tryout with American ice dancer Noah Lafornara in New York. Tali and Lafornara agreed to team up for Italy in March 2023 after just two days of skating together, and made the decision to split their training between Tali's coaches, Valter Rizzo and Brunhilde Bianchi in Milan during the competitive season, and Lafornara's coaches, Denis Petukhov and Melissa Gregory in Connecticut during the off-season.[2]

Tali/Lafornara made their international junior debut in October 2023 at the 2023 JGP Armenia. There they won the bronze medal, finishing behind Israeli skaters Elizabeth Tkachenko / Alexei Kiliakov and U.S. sibling team Elliana Peal / Ethan Peal. While the team did not receive a second JGP assignment, their success continued with podium placements at three international junior B events over the course of October and November. At the 2024 Italian Figure Skating Championships in December, Tali/Lafornara took the junior dance title handily over Beatrice Ventura / Stefano Frasca and Vittoria Petracchi / Daniel Basile.

Due to their success at the national championships, Tali/Lafornara were assigned to compete at the 2024 World Junior Figure Skating Championships in February 2024. At Junior Worlds, the team placed fourth in the rhythm dance, but fell to ninth in the free dance to finish seventh overall.

2024–25 season

[edit]

Tali and Lafornara began their second season together with a win at the 2024 JGP Latvia. At their second JGP assignment, the 2024 JGP Thailand, Tali and Lafornara again took the title. With their two wins in hand, Tali and Lafornara became the first ice dance team to qualify to the 2024–25 JGP Final. They subsequently competed on the junior level at the 2024 Mezzaluna Cup and the 2024 Ice Challenge, winning gold at both events.[3]

In December, the duo won the gold medal at the Junior Grand Prix Final before taking gold at the 2025 Italian Junior Championships two weeks later.[3]
