Hi Everyone,
We thought it was about time we did a little update now that the European Championships are less than 3 weeks away. Sinead and I are so excited to compete again now that we are all fit and raring to go. Up until this season we have been relatively lucky in avoiding injury so I guess it was bound to happen at some point (;____;). To prove our fitness, and readiness to compete, we had to perform both of our competitive routines for two of the UK’s most senior Championship judges. We are delighted to report that they declared us fit and we can now make our final preparations for Bern.
This season has been a frustrating one for us as we had to withdraw from Cup of Russia and thus lose any chance of qualifying for the Grand Prix Final in Beijing (;_________; x eleventybillion). We believe it was the smart thing to do though as it gave us the proper recovery time for Sinead’s shoulder. Better to miss a couple of Grand Prix events than to risk missing the European and World championships. We have really missed competing though so it feels like Europeans can’t come round fast enough (they are so bloody optimistic about the whole thing! :3333).
As it turns out Sinead and I will be staying in Switzerland after Europeans as we have been asked to perform in ART ON ICE in Zurich and Lausanne. It's easily one of the greatest shows in the world and we are really looking forward to performing in it once again (and ofc, they get to bro with their favorite zebra). Donna Summer and Katherine Jenkins will be providing the live music this year so there will definitely be variation in the skaters' music choices.
Even though our competitive appearances have been limited this season we did have the opportunity to perform with ‘Brian Boitano and Friends’ in Sioux City, Iowa. The live music for the show was provided by the 80s powerhouse band Heart and those ladies certainly still can belt out the tunes. The show was such a blast and we still have to pinch ourselves that we get the opportunity to perform alongside such great skaters and the legend that is Brian Boitano. (D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!)
So, until Europeans it's going to be training, training, and more training, but we are enjoying it and it's all for a good cause.
This may be our last European Championships so we are aiming to make it our most memorable (dare I hope? Dare I dream that they MAY still come back one more year? :333333 #deliverusfromcraycray).
Love to you all and we hope to see as many of you in Bern as possible. If you can’t come then just scream at the TV and I’m sure we will hear you! ;-)
Kisses (well, they are said to be the two of the most "fan friendly" skaters...),
Sinead and John
