A BRADFORD ice skating squad will battle the UK’s elite this weekend at a national championships.
Team Bradford Brilliance, which trains weekly at Bradford Ice Arena, will take part in the British Synchronised Skating Championships.
The skaters will compete against more than 50 teams from across the UK at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham on Saturday and Sunday.
Synchronised ice skating sees teams of 12 to 16 people skating in formation at speed, while performing routines to music.
Team Bradford Brilliance, set up by coach Danka Durasevic in May last year, has 35 members who are split into three teams.
Organisers of the British Championships invited Team Bradford Brilliance to send teams to next month’s tournament.
Their adult sides will compete on Saturday, while their junior teams take to the ice on Sunday. All sides will get an eight-minute practice on the ice in Nottingham on both days.
Team manager Sally Rasmussen said: “We aim to enjoy it and learn from it.”
