ICE SKATING: Jenna claims sixth British Ice Skating title
COLERAINE ice skating champion Jenna McCorkell has been crowned British Senior Ladies Ice Skating Champion for the SIXTH time.
Jenna has just set a new standard by winning the coveted Senior title for a record sixth time with an outstanding display in Nottingham on Wednesday evening (14th Jan 2009].
What makes this even more remarkable is that 22-year-old Jenna has won the title in successive years since 2002/03 with the exception of 2005/06 when she didn't compete due to injury.
This weekend Jenna travels to Finland to compete against the best in Europe at the European Championships.
Jenna set a new bench mark at the event last season when she placed a fantastic 7th place in the short programmeand 1st place in the technical element score. Following the long programme Jenna achieved a life-time best and finished 8th overall in the event.
The scene is now set for the European Championships and expectations are high, however, Jenna as always remains philosophical:
'I am very pleased with my performances and results this season and I am enjoying my skating more than ever.'
