What a result for both of us!!! Your country's representative wins, and my province's representative comes second!!!
Congratulations Brooklee and Jenna!!!!
But, I get what you're saying about it not being a strong field. Beyond the podium, there were very few that I had even heard tell of, never mind seen before! Robertson, Grm and Pieman were the only familiar names!
Since I just mentioned her, I have to say, I was disappointed that Pieman was not higher.
But, getting back on topic, it was a shame Danielle and Gregory only managed 12th. But they were up against a much stronger field than Brooklee was up against in the ladies - put it like this, there were only a few above them that I hadn't come across before!
Also, there were plenty of couples below them.
So, when you look at it like that, 12th was a good result!
Ooooooh - that's great!!!! Although most of it will probably be broadcast at a silly hour for those of us in Europe, I will try to dip in to see what up-and-coming talent you have.
If your national competitors are anywhere near as good as your international competitors, Australia will soon be moving up the team rankings!
Well done again to Brooklee, Danielle and Gregory. Australian figure skating is definitely looking like it has a bright future!

Brooklee Han wins International Event
FIGURE SKATING: With the Sochi 2014 Games less the three months away, Australia's figure skaters have had the opportunity for more competition practice of their Olympic routines.
Competing in the 22nd Volvo Open Cup, ice dancers Danielle O'Brien and Greg Merriman were in action along with Brooklee Han in the ladies' individual.
Han, who recently secured Australia's quota place at the Olympic Qualification Tournament, excelled in her competition, finishing in first place in both the short and free programs, to win the competition.
Han's score of 151.76 eclipsed her personal best which she recorded at the Nebelhorn Trophy, in a positive sign for the young skater who is based in the USA.
"I was really excited to go to Latvia as I knew that Evgeny Plushenko would also be competing," Han said today.
"To be at the same competition as him was so exciting, to have him win Senior Men and then I won Senior Ladies was just amazing.
"I was so proud and happy to see them raise the Australian flag and play "Advance Australia Fair". For me, it was a dream come true."
In the ice dancing, O'Brien and Merriman weren't able to produce their best routines, finishing 12th with a total score of 119.41.
Han will now get back into training along with the other skaters as they prepare for the important National Championships, taking place in Melbourne from 5 - 6 December.

I really hope that Jenna has a magical skate in Sochi. She is one of those skaters who i hope will have a fantastic skate. Hopefully she will do what Kevin Van Der Perren
and have a great finishing performance. She has top 15 potential!There is going to be an Ice Skating show touring in December. This year's tour SLICE, will cast skaters from Russia, Ukraine, USA, Japan, France and Australia

I think it's a good thing that they have ranked every skater from novice to senior.
Check out the TES total differences in the Novice Ladies...or lack thereof!
I agree. It's all way too close!! I think the winners of the novice ladies will come down to the components score. In saying that, with the judges these days, if your technical is the best, your artistic marks seem to get a boost also.
