BBC Three - Freeze, Skating on the Edge, Episode 3

With the Olympic qualifiers on the horizon, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Britain’s elite skaters go head-to-head in the ultimate Skate-Off, and reputations are laid on the line. With the Olympic qualifiers on the horizon, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

After months of struggling with his triple axel, reigning champion PJ finally has a breakthrough. But there’s little time to celebrate as the British Ice Skating federation announces a Skate-Off to be held for all elite athletes. The most glittering prize on offer is the chance to compete in Germany at the upcoming Olympic qualifier. Only the winner of the Skate-Off will be given the golden opportunity to earn a Team GB spot in Beijing 2022. Hot on PJ’s heels is two-time British champion Graham Newberry. All eyes in the skating world will be glued to these two as they fight it out for the top spot.

After a year of intense training and physio, elite skater Kristen is ready to make her comeback after a spinal injury, and the Skate-Off offers the perfect opportunity to prove her mettle. For this explosive athlete, the balletic demands of the sport are harder to nail than the gravity-defying jumps. Kristen’s main competition is someone who revels in the sequinned elegance of the sport and is famed for her grace and composure on the ice – Nina Povey.

As the Skate-Off approaches, new pair Harry and Lydia are stepping up their training in anticipation of making their debut in front of the British judging community – and first impressions are everything. Harry reveals the disturbing truth about his past experience with an abusive coach, and an injury threatens to derail the pair once again.
