00:00Hi, I'm Jane Bradley, Assistant Editor of The Scotsman and I'm here today at the Grand

00:05Prix of Figure Skating Final in Grenoble in France. Scottish skater Lewis Gibson, who

00:10is from Prestwick, will be competing with his partner Lila Fear in the ice dance competition.

00:15They are one of six elite figure skating couples to qualify for this event and will be hoping

00:22to get their hands on a medal. I spoke to Lewis and Lila earlier today.

00:27I'm here at the Grand Prix Final in Grenoble with Lewis Gibson and Lila Fear. Hi!

00:32Lewis Gibson and Lila Fear

00:33Hi!

00:34So you're about to skate your rhythm dance this afternoon. Could you tell me a little

00:37bit about how you're feeling before that?

00:39Excited? Were you going to say that?

00:41Yeah, I think we both feel very ready to compete and just eager to get out there in front of

00:46the crowd.

00:47And you recently won your seventh national title for Great Britain in ice dance, which

00:52equals both Jordan Dean and Scottish skaters Sinead and John Kerr. So how do you feel about

00:57that and what's the legacy going to be for British ice dance and figure skating in general?

01:03We were really proud to have achieved seven titles. It's such an honour and we love representing

01:07Great Britain and I think that we're very honoured to be a part of that legacy in whatever

01:11way that we can be and hopefully inspire the next generation of skaters to get involved

01:15and to go for it themselves.

01:17That's fantastic. Thank you so much and good luck in your competition.

01:20Thank you!
