The brothers started to hone their craft at Planet Ice Basingstoke at the age of six, and now train four or five days a week at the ice rink.
Sebastian and Nathaniel train under the guidance of Olympian Andrew Place, known for representing Great Britain at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.
The skaters hope that the future of the ice rink will be secured, attributing their continuing success and growth to the availability of a training facility as they call on the stakeholders to secure the future of the rink.
