LANCASHIRE’S Stacey Kemp and ice partner David King completed their Olympic debut in the figure skating pairs and immediately set their sights on the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
Kemp, 21, from Leyland, and King, 25, from Carlisle, made the most of their first Olympic experience, skating to a personal best score of 48.28 in Sunday’s short programme at the Pacific Coliseum and followed it with their free programme.
There were a couple of slight stumbles on landing as the British pair scored 91.66, just below their season’s best recorded at the European Championships.
Their combined score of 139.94 left them in 16th place overall.
“I just want to do this again,” King said.
“Being an Olympian is a great feeling and it gives us great strength.
“This has been a fantastic experience for us.”
The pair first started at Blackburn Ice Arena.
