YOUNG sensation Miesha Cooke Smith struck gold in the British Under 15 Figure Skating Championships in Sheffield.

The 14-year-old, who trains at Oxford Ice Rink, came first in both the short and free programmes in the advanced novice category.

Cooke Smith’s combined score of 95.54 was six points more than the second-placed skater and 14 points clear of third.

The title caps a fantastic season for the Heyford Park Free School pupil, who is top of the advanced novice and junior national rankings.

She was part of a seven-strong Oxford team at the championships.
