Four junior skaters were selected to complete the six-day Generation 2018 Multi-Sport Training Camp at St Mary’s University College in Twickenham.

King, British Junior Pairs Champions James Hunt and Catherine Clement, from Chelmsford, and Katie Powell, who skates in Sheffield and Deeside, were among 22 athletes picked by the British Olympic Association (BOA).

The athletes, who were drawn from range of winter sports including bobsleigh, curling and ice hockey, also heard from Sir Clive Woodward on training for Olympic success.
