Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you ... Sinead and John Kerr.

In Figure Skating, Team GB has a small, but glorious, history of taking the Gold.

John Curry - 1976

Robin Cousins - 1984

Torvill and Dean - 1984 (and 1994, except they were "robbed" by dodgy judges)

I won't pretend that Sinead and John are Gold Medal favourites. BUT ... they are in with a good chance. They are truly fab skaters. If they skate their socks off, and one or two of the "judges' favourites" slip up a bit, they could bring one home for Team GB.

And that would be VERY jolly !

In betting terms, back them to win a medal of any colour.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Team GB's very own brother and sister act ... Sinead and John Kerr.

Correction to main post: Robin Cousins' Gold should read "1980"

Well after a write up like that, are you a relative, JJ?

Seriously, best of luck to them, we need something to cheer us all up!

my wife and daughter know john and sinead, bit odd that relationship....;-) Bex once asked sinead if she could swap ice dance partners......

Nice kids but if they get into the top 8 they will match expectations a top 5 result would be exceptional.

They certainly won't have an easy time, slapshot, but hey ...

... I for one will be cheering at the telly screen.

The thing about Ice Skating, is that even the favourites can, quite literally, slip up, and lose whole marks for errors.
