Introduction

Angelika Buck (born 9 June 1950) is a German former ice dancer who competed for West Germany. With her brother Erich Buck, she is the 1972 European champion, a four-time World medalist, and a six-time West German national champion.

Career

Angelika and Erich Buck were coached by Betty Callaway in Oberstdorf. They represented West Germany and the ERV Ravensburg club.

The Buck siblings started their career by placing 13th at the 1966 European Championships, going on to come in 10th at the Worlds Championships in 1967. They came in sixth place at the 1968 European Championships, in fourth place at the 1969 Europeans, in eighth place at the 1968 Worlds and in fifth place at the 1969 Worlds.

They were the first Germans to capture the European ice dancing title. They did so at the 1972 European Championships in Gothenburg, upsetting Lyudmila Pakhomova / Alexander Gorshkov. They also won three silver medals at Europeans and four medals at the World Championships (three silver and one bronze). They took gold at the West German Championships six times.

The Buck siblings invented the "Ravensburger Waltz", which became one of the ISU's compulsory/pattern dances. They debuted it at the 1973 German Championships.
