Chemmy
Alcott to take part in Dancing on Ice
- Read this article on ifyouski.com - it is a good factual article with a few quotes from Chemmy. Dancing on Ice (DOI)
starts at 18:30 on Sunday 8th January 2012 on ITV.
- On her Twitter feed, Chemmy said "I understand some people maybe confused at my participation on DOI 2012. I am a rehabbing athlete who has NOT quit her first love skiing.
After my horrendous crash last year ice skating is enabling me to find the link between my head and metal right leg. It is helping, not
hindering, my rehab. I was never going to be able to compete in ski racing this year so DOI has given me numerous opportunities including
teaching me how to feel my feet, strengthening sport specific muscles and raising the profile of me and the sport I love. Don't forget
it costs me and our federation at least £90,000 per year for me to ski. I have to find money personally to cover this. the worst would be for me
to fight back from injury only to find I don't have enough money to fund a world class programme. So sceptics be silenced, I am doing this
so that I can return to being Britain's best World Cup skier. My aims and goals haven't changed. In fact they are stronger than ever."
