After winning every British Championship they have competed in since joining forces in 2010 (3 Junior and 1 Senior), Olivia Smart and Joseph Buckland have called time on their partnership.
According to Olivia, Joe is "moving forward in a different direction" (I take it that means he's retiring), while she is looking for a new partner.

EDIT: As Golden has pointed out below, Joe isn't retiring. He is also looking for a new partner.
Apologies for any confusion caused.

I wish Joe the best as he chooses to move forward in a different direction. I would like to thank everybody for you're incredible support throughout the years, NISA especially in standing by us and pushing us forwards.I am looking ahead with renewed commitment and drive to a new life in this sport, and I will be looking for a new partner for future seasons and to be able to continue to represent the UK, my country, and make my home and everybody around me proud.
