"I've been a synchronised skater for the past four years and therefore I feel like I've adopted many siblings, #SquadGoals has become a legitimate part of my vocabulary and I have pushed myself harder than I thought was possible. Aside to skating, I am a primary school teacher, currently teaching 6 year olds and brainwashing them about synchro. In my spare time -who am I kidding, what's that?- I am a big Torvill and Dean fan and follow them about the country watching their shows. "

"Synchro is the most challenging thing I have ever done, but equally the most rewarding, and I genuinely think it makes me a better person. "

The closure of all the ice rinks, although expected, still came as a shock. And an emotional one at that. A general anxiety took its place; about people I care about having their entire income cut, about people who have trained their whole lives to compete, who suddenly find themselves in limbo, about those whose lives revolve around the rink, those who use the ice as an escape and those who have found a passion in this icy world of ours. It’s a bit like losing a part of yourself. The obvious solution? Inline skates!
