[3] She studied psychology at Nottingham Trent University. [4] She is the stepdaughter of ice dancing coach Philip Askew. [1] Coomes and Buckland were in a relationship for many years. [5] On 24 December 2018, Coomes announced their engagement. [6]

Career

Coomes was introduced to skating by her mother at the age of eight at Slough Ice Arena. [2] [7]

Seasons: 2005–06 to 2009–10

Coomes teamed up with Nicholas Buckland in 2005, having met him at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham. [4] In the 2007–08 season, Coomes injured her foot in a collision with another skater at the British Championships. [2] Told it was not broken, she and Buckland went on to win the national junior title. Three months later, a scan indicated a broken cuboid bone, leading to a bone graft and reconstructive surgery. [2] [8]

Coomes/Buckland made their senior international debut at the 2008 Finlandia Trophy, placing 9th. Their season ended after Coomes sustained a head injury in a fall on the ice. [9] In the 2009–10 season, they placed 9th at the Ice Challenge in Graz, Austria, and fourth at the 2009 Ondrej Nepela Memorial. They won the silver medal at the British Championships and then won the bronze medal at the 2009 Golden Spin of Zagreb.

Coomes/Buckland trained at the National Ice Centre in Nottingham until December 2009 when they moved to New Jersey to train with coach Evgeni Platov. [10] [11] Along with Sinead Kerr / John Kerr, they were selected to represent Great Britain at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. [12] On 13 February 2010, Buckland began experiencing symptoms of tachycardia. [13] She and Buckland finished 20th at the Olympics.

Seasons: 2010–11 to 2013–14

In the 2010–11 season, they withdrew from their national championships after a fall in training resulted in a sprained ligament in Coomes' left knee. [14] The two finished 14th at the European Championships and 16th at the World Championships.

In 2011–12, Coomes/Buckland placed fourth at their Grand Prix event, the 2011 Cup of China, before winning silver at the 2011 Golden Spin of Zagreb and gold at the Toruń Cup. The duo ranked sixth at the 2012 European Championships in Sheffield, England. [15] They placed 14th at the 2012 World Championships in Nice, France. Coomes sustained a back and hip injury in Nice.

In 2013–14, Coomes/Buckland won gold at the Ondrej Nepela Trophy in Bratislava. [18] Following the event, Buckland was informed that he needed an operation due to readings of up to 270–280 beats per minute. In November 2013, a nerve in his heart was cauterized in a successful procedure leading to normal functioning of his heart. [13] [17] Coomes/Buckland went on to win the bronze medal at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest. They placed tenth at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. [19]

At their next GP event, the 2014 NHK Trophy, they placed second in the short dance but sixth in the free dance, slipping to fifth overall.

In late January 2015, Coomes/Buckland placed tenth in the short dance at the European Championships in Stockholm. They withdrew prior to the next segment, Buckland having fallen ill with gastroenteritis. [20] [21] Coomes developed an illness in the third week of March, resulting in her hospitalization and the team's withdrawal from the 2015 World Championships, to be held in Shanghai the following week. [21] Back in the United Kingdom, she was diagnosed with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. [22]

2015–16 season

In May 2015, Coomes/Buckand announced that they would be coached by Igor Shpilband in Michigan, following a directive by UK Sport, their funding agency.

[24] Coomes/Buckland withdrew from their Grand Prix assignments – the 2016 Trophée de France and 2016 NHK Trophy. [25] They trained in preparation for the 2017 European Championships but later decided to withdraw. [26] Coomes underwent an operation on 10 January 2017 to remove the wires in her knee, which were digging into the patellar tendon, and was expected to be off the ice for three months. [24]
