First on after the ice resurface, the British champions, were again fifth. They were skating splendidly up until almost the end of their straight line step sequence. John Kerr, looking elegant in his Louis Vuitton tuxedo, had a slight mistiming. "I had not practiced in the tails which was a mistake. They were swinging around and I was prepared for that."
His sister explained she was twizzling and saw John was a little off which put her off balance. "I was spotting John, which I don’t usually do, and just went down."
Fortunately, it was at the end of the sequence so they didn’t miss many steps. However, it meant they incurred a deduction of 1.0.
They laughed off the situation. John Kerr said, "I fell at the beginning of our Matrix free in Sheffield (when they won their national title dethroning the holders). So now we’ve had one fall a piece in competition. Let’s hope that’s the last time."
