Conor Stakelum has become the first Irish man to compete at the European Figure Skating Championships in the 117-year history of the event.

The 24 year old son of Tipperary All Ireland hurling winner Richie Stakelum took to the ice in Moscow this morning scoring 43.05 in the short programme.

Unfortunately this time Conor's score was not enough to progress to the next stage.

37 competitors took part in this morning's competition with the top 24  progressing to the free programme.
