Dancing is hard enough on land, but it is especially challenging and impressive when figure skaters can perform dances on ice. The beautiful sport of ice skating is a favorite worldwide and is one of the most anticipated events in sports. This pair of Scottish siblings gave an especially noteworthy performance at the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships.

Olympic level figure skating siblings Sinead and John Kerr from Scotland are not only brother and sister but are also dedicated skating partners. While they're used to performing stunning feats, even their fans weren't prepared for their freestyle ice dancing performance at the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The skaters performed mesmerizing and difficult tricks as they smoothly glided across the ice with ease. The crowd was amazed by the performance, with people in the crowd from every country screaming and clapping along. The judges were just as impressed as the audience and gave the pair an exemplary score.
