10NV's Chloe Tame has won gold in the freeskate grade and character solo as part of the NZ Ice Figure Skating Association competition.

In Ice Figure Skating, freeskate is a 1 min 40 sec choreographed programme that must contain certain jumps, a spin, a step sequence and an optional jump to music of the skater's choice. 

It is judged by a large panel and scored on both technical and skating skills. 

The character solo is a 1 min programme made up by the skater to music of their choice.  

Chloe's success has not come about by chance, she practices 4-6 hours a week and is truly dedicated to her sport.
