EMILY Rose Brown and James Hernandez have returned from their first-ever international competition in Oberstdorf Germany where they finished in fourth place.

Their class was large with 16 entrants from all over the world including tough competition from Russia and America.

Rose Brown and ice dance partner Hernandez have only been together for almost six months,.

They became British champions in December after just four months together.

Their phenomenal success in such a short amount of time sees them at the top of the national rankings list on the GB squad.

At this most recent competition they received a personal best score and an incredible write up.

Rose Brown and Hernandez skate at Slough ice rink, where they train with coach Phillip Poole six times a week.

They are now in search of a local company who might want to sponsor them as they step up their training to include coaching in America.

The pair are hoping to qualify for the junior youth Olympics and junior world championships in the not too distant future.
