TEAM GB SQUAD SELECTION - WORLDS

As you will be aware, at the Board meeting held yesterday the Board Directors discussed, in great detail, who would be selected as members of Team GB to attend the World Figure Skating Championships in Los Angeles.

The Directors took into consideration a wide range of reports from our ISU Championship Judges and officials and also reviewed current National rankings, technical ability and also had to take into consideration that this years World Championships will be used as a qualifier for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The Team GB squad will be as follows:

I would like to, personally and on behalf of the NISA Board, take this opportunity to wish you the very best of luck in the Championships. We will watch your performances with great interest.
