Episode 4
Up-and-coming skaters desperate to make the elite Performance Squad compete at the British qualifiers.
Up-and-coming skaters desperate to make the elite Performance Squad compete at the British qualifiers. With anxiety sky-high, in a sport that demands perfection, the mounting pressure proves too much for some.
After narrowly missing out on making the squad last season – by a crushing 0.01 of a point – Emily Hayward is on a mission to ensure this year she makes the grade. To compete with the elite squad, Emily will have to nail her triple jumps, but she suffers a setback when a training session goes wrong. Also hoping to earn a spot on the Performance Squad is 20-year-old skater Eleanor. She has just stepped up from the less pressurised Junior category, and this will be her first competition as a fully fledged Senior competitor.
After failing to impress British Ice Skating judges, ice dance duo Anthony and Eleanor are back in action and more determined than ever to prove to the establishment they are capable of representing GB abroad. Anthony learns a valuable lesson as he grapples with his perfectionist attitude and tries to tame his often cruel inner voice.
Ranked number seven in the world, British ice dance duo Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson took the skating world by storm with their disco routine in the 2018/19 season and represent Britain’s greatest hope for an Olympic medal in Beijing. The pair travel home from their elite training hub in Montreal and will unveil their brand new programme at the British qualifiers.
