Scottish ice dance pair, Sinead and John Kerr were travelling to Russia today to prepare for The Cup of Russia Grand Prix.

The event in Moscow starts on Friday and is rated the highest standard of any of the six Grand Prix events on the world circuit.

The Kerrs, from Livingston, are British champions and John said: “Three of the world’s top five couples are competing, but our training has been going well here in America. We’ve been here for some weeks and are feeling confident that we can post a good performance in what will be a really tough competition.”

Sinead added: “We’re aiming to be in the top four.”
