Swindon's Olympic pairs hopefuls Andrew Seabrook and Tiffany Sfikas had a rare opportunity recently to train with British Olympic gold medallist Jane Torvill at the World Speed Skating Championships in early March.

They were the only pair invited to perform an exhibition skate, choreographed by Jane Torvill, with six other skaters.

"We had not met her before; she is such a wonderful lady," said Tiffany. "She is so easy to get on with and we learnt so much during the week."

Andrew and Tiffany returned from two months training in the USA in late February. They skated at exhibitions in Altrincham on 20 March and Iceland at the end of the month. April has been spent training and preparing a programme for a guest appearance at a big ice gala in Chicago in early May.
