Charles Sinek

Charles Sinek (born December 28, 1968) is an American former competitive ice dancer.

With partner and wife Beata Handra, he is the 1999–2002 U.S. national pewter medalist and placed as high as fourth at the Four Continents Championships.

After his sister retired, he skated with Regina Woodward at the senior level and then turned professional.

Three weeks before the event, Sinek developed a staph infection after Handra accidentally cut his right shin in practice.

In the 2001–02 season, Handra/Sinek missed their two Grand Prix assignments due to health issues—in August 2001, Sinek underwent knee surgery which resulted in a blood clot in his calf, and tore his meniscus a second time in September 2001.
