Career
Early years
Spours began learning to skate in 2006,[4] having become interested after watching Dancing on Ice.[5] In the 2012–2013 season, she won the novice bronze medal at the British Championships. Her first coach was Veronika Bogamolova before electing to train under Ruth Woodstock at Guildford Spectrum and Christian Newberry at the Lee Valley Ice Centre.[2][6]
Spours finished fourth in the junior ladies' category at the British Championships. At the 2015 Jégvirág Cup, she won the gold medal and achieved the minimum technical scores to compete at the 2016 World Championships in Boston. As a result, she was named in the British team to senior Worlds,[8] despite not appearing nationally on the senior level. She placed thirty-sixth in Boston.[7]
Spours went on to win a silver at the Denkova-Staviski Cup and bronze at the Merano Cup on the senior levels, as well as a gold medal at the 2016 Grand Prix of Bratislava on the junior level. In December 2016, she won the junior ladies' title and placed fifth on the senior level at the 2017 British Championships. She then won the silver in the senior ladies' category at Skate Helena and finished tenth at the 2017 International Challenge Cup. In March, she placed sixteenth in the short program, fourteenth in the free skate, and fifteenth overall at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan.[7]
Following the season, Spours left coach, Ruth Woodstock, to train at the Lee Valley Ice Centre full-time under Christian Newberry.[1]
2018–19 season
Spours began the season on the Junior Grand Prix series, finishing thirteenth at the 2018 JGP Slovakia. She then went on to win the bronze medal at the 2018 Volvo Open Cup on the senior level. At the 2019 British Championships, Spours won her third junior national title as well as her second consecutive bronze medal on the senior level. Spours would then go on to finish sixth on the senior level at the 2019 Dragon Trophy.[7]
Following the season, Spours relocated her training base to Vaujany, France, where Florent Amodio and Sofia Gassoumi became her new coaches.[9]
2019–20 season
Spours had to miss the whole 2019–20 figure skating season due to a spinal injury that she sustained while training in France, leaving her without feeling in her left leg. She stated that her doctors told her that she could either have them operate on her, which would mean the end of her figure skating career, or she could undergo physiotherapy, which would be a long process and might not work. Ultimately Spours chose to undergo physiotherapy, saying "If it gave me even a 10 per cent chance of skating again, then I was going to go for it."[10]
Spours would spend two years doing physiotherapy and relearning how to skate.[11]
Selected to compete at a World Championships for the second time in her career, in Saitama, Japan, Spours placed twenty-seventh in the short program, only 1.27 points from qualifying for the free skate.[7]
Selected to compete at the 2025 European Championships for the first time, Spours placed tenth in the short program and ninth in the free skate, finishing ninth overall.[14] This placement secured two spots for British women to compete at the 2026 European Championships, set to take place in Sheffield, England. Following the event, she said, "I honestly can’t believe that I made the top 10 at my first Europeans! It’s such a big confidence boost, and I feel really, really, really good. It means a lot to show what I’m capable of on a big stage. I’ve achieved higher scores at smaller competitions, but doing it here, at this level, feels amazing. I’m also so excited that I’ve secured an extra spot for the home Europeans in Sheffield. It’s going to be so much fun to share that experience with someone else."[15]
She competed at the 2025 World Championships in Boston, held in March. She placed twenty-second in the short program and advanced to the free skate for the first time in her career. In the free skate, she fell on a triple flip jump, but she remained in twenty-second place overall. Her placement earned a quota for Britain at the 2026 Winter Olympics.[16]
