‘I’m SO happy for the skaters and hate to moan now. ⁣However, the past months it was shocking to see how the UK government classified our Olympic sport as a “leisure activity”. ⁣⁣

‘We have been told three times that our sport can return to training, and three times this has been delayed at the last minute. ⁣Sooooo now I’m home in Berlin.⁣⁣’

Vanessa continued: ‘UK skaters could visit a busy pub, gym, or even a trampoline park, yet they have not been allowed to train in small socially-distanced groups in the various very large ice rinks across the country.  

Happy: Vanessa captioned the footage: 'Ok so who wants to see the fail videos?! I¿m shaking SO much. But for the first day trying this I thought it was alright?!'

‘This wouldn’t only harm the training and development of an entire generation of skaters, but is having detrimental effects on their wellbeing and mental health. ⁣⁣
