Kerr/Kerr were less than one point behind the Italians. The brother and sister team delivered an emotional dance to “Ruled by Secrecy” by Muse that was highlighted by a curve lift in a low position, a rotational lift and intricate steps. The Technical Panel graded three lifts and the spin as well as the circular footwork a level four while the midline step sequence, the twizzles and the straight line lift were a level three. Kerr/Kerr scored 92.60 points (46.90/45.70), which was a new seasons best for them and accumulated 185.20 points overall. It was the first figure skating medal for Great Britain in 15 years. Jayne Torvill/Christopher Dean were European Champions in 1994.

“We knew it would be really really difficult this year (to win a medal) because there are many teams so close to each other. Pechalat and Bourzat beat us last year at Europeans and Worlds, so to come above them here was great because they are great skaters too”, Sinead Kerr commented. “Our program is about skating skills, edge quality and smooth skating. I think we really got into the music. Last year we maybe got away with just the audience’s reaction, but this year we did it also with our skating skills”, she went on.
