How did Jenna McCorkell Make Her Money & Wealth?
Born on September 15, 1986, in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, Jenna McCorkell grew up in Coleraine, before moving to Belfast later on. Having started skating at the age of seven, it didn’t take long for her to develop an immediate passion for the sport. Mastering various skating skills over the next few years, her talent on the ice eventually landed her a spot on the National Great Britain Squad by the time she was ten years old.
The youngest skater to have ever made it to the team, she later became the first female skater from Northern Ireland to take part in the World Junior Championships at the age of fourteen. Later in the 2002-03 season, McCorkell moved to Coventry, where she received coaching from Yuri Bureiko.
Continuing to compete in her early teens, McCorkell participated in the World Junior Championships three times from 2002 to 2004, placing as high as eleventh overall in 2003. From there, she made her international senior debut at the World Championships later that year.
Over the next few years, she competed in several events including the 2010 and 2012 World Championships, where she achieved a personal best with a fourteenth-place finish.
At the age of twenty-eight, McCorkell represented Great Britain for a second time at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Despite an impressive performance, however, she finished 25th overall after the SP, which was not enough to advance her to the free skate. Later that same year, she would qualify for the 2014 World Championships, just to withdraw due to an injury.
Not long afterward, the skater made the announcement in March 2014 that she would be retiring from the sport. Since then, she has been working on her own line of sportswear called Chique Sport. Debuted in 2014 at the World Championships, the collection features a variety of figure skating apparel from tan tops to zipped jackets.
In addition to that, she and her husband have also been running coaching classes around the world.
