The ice skaters without an ice rink

Meet the ice skating teams who don't have an ice rink, but are still getting the top spots in competitions.
The Wight Sequins, Wight Sparkles, Wight Crystals and Wight Jewels are all teams from the Isle of Wight. They have to travel across to the mainland if they want to practise on ice, otherwise they rehearse in their trainers.
Their local rink, Ryde Arena, on the Isle of Wight, was shut in October 2016. Since then the local council has pledged to reopen it.
The teams qualified to compete in the British Synchronised Skating Championships 2019 in different categories, and all were placed in the top five.
