I was delighted to see a picture of Sinead and John in my Blades issue that came in the mail today! It appears to be a picture from a banquet--John has a white w/black and red striped kilt on and it looks like Sinead does, too, or at least a matching skirt. Can't really see below their waists. He's got a black shirt on w/ a black jacket and she has a green shirt on. I'll insert a couple quotes from the article:
Blades on Ice June 2005
Sinead and John Kerr, who are 26 (she) and 24, made a splash on the international scene last year. Though their Justin Timberlake FD performed in Moscow was energetic and they placed two spots up from their debut 14th last year, it did not have the incredible fire, universal appeal and that indefinable 'pizzazz' of their really wonderful Matrix FD in '04 in Budapest and Dortmund. They have, however, definitely made considerable improvement in the compulsories. Their 12th place was very important since the number of Olympic entries is primarily determined on the results here.
There are no qualifying rounds at the Olympics. The countries of 24 of the 30 permitted singles, 16 of the permitted 20 pairs and 19 of the permitted ice dance couples were decided in Moscow. (The other 6 men and 6 women, 4 pairs and 5 ice dance couples will be decided in a competition in the fall.) The Kerrs were the last couple to win Olympic acceptance in Moscow. The qualified numbers are three from Russia and the US; two from Ukraine, France Bulgaria, Israel, Canada and Italy; and one from Britain, which adds up to 19.
