PROMISING young Didcot skater Nikitia Aston has won a medal at the British Figure Skating Championships at the tender age of 13.
Nikitia and her 18-year-old partner Aarron Watson, from Thame, collected a silver medal in the novice pairs at the Nottingham National Ice Centre.
The talented youngsters have been skating together for only two years.
“They’ve been working very hard, and if they continue to improve at the same rate, they could achieve their ambition of being in contention for a place at the 2014 Olympics,” said Nikitia’s mother Deborah.
Nikitia, who attends Didcot Girls School, started skating as a three-year-old.
