In other news

Information about nationals the end of this month and early December.
It includes a general announcement, entry list, schedules and an assortment of other forms.
It's nice to see them doing the Team Battle Comp this year as well!!
I have no idea if they are going to do a live stream this year. Hopefully the ISQ can do it.
I probably won't be making an Australian Nationals thread on the National Championship part of GS forums this year. Sorry but I'm busy.

Not nearly as lovely job as you did last year, but at least Australia has a thread!

Does anyone know whether they will be streaming nationals on Youtube again this year?

Thankyou for starting upmthe thread. It was very kind of you.
I personally am not very sure of the live streaming thing. The streaming last year was organised by Ice Skating Victoria (as it was in Melbourne), which already did livestream using other services before nationals. This years nationals are in Queensland so Ice Skating Queensland is organising it. From my knowledge, No other state skating body in Australia has really organised something like live streaming other than the Victorian body. Sometimes people come with a handicam and they record something but nothing really.

I unfortunately am only a skating spectator who happens to live in Australia, so i dont get the inside scoop on anything unless someone posts it on social media.

I did not see anything on Queensland's page about streaming. It is too bad they didn't seek Melbourne's help to get it going.

Guess who got himself a Quad Sal?!

Follow Brendan Kerry on Webstagram

He has the Quads but can he put it together at Nationals?
We'll find out in Brisbane next month. Stay tuned....

We need a smiley that indicates exploding or falling over with excitement. In the absence of that the dancing banana will do!

Just over a week until Australian Nationals! :cheer2:

From the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia website

2014 Sochi Olympians Brooklee Han and Brendan Kerry will depart their US training bases shortly, travelling to Brisbane for the Australian Figure Skating Championships on December 4 and 5.

Han, who is now in her first year at Wesleyan University, Connecticut, has had a busy start to the 2014/15 competitive season, placing sixth at the US International Classic in Salt Lake City and fourth at the Nebelhorn Trophy in Germany. Following her successful Sochi Olympics and 19th place at the 2014 World Championships, she was invited to the prestigious ISU Grand Prix events, finishing tenth at Skate America and eighth at Skate Canada earlier this month, recording a PB in her free program of 102.99 at Skate America.

Brendan Kerry is based at Riverside in Los Angeles with coach Tammy Gambill and began his season at the Lombardia Trophy, Italy finishing in ninth position followed by an 11th at the Skate Canada Autumn Classic. Brendan has added a quad salchow to his free program, which he feels is now consistent. He plans to use the new jump this season, with its debut planned for the National Championships. He will then be competing at the Nestle Mentor Cup in Poland in early January.

Kailani beats Brooklee at Nationals!

Kailani still has not met the minimum TES for the Free Skate yet so Brooklee will most likely represent Australia at Worlds but both will most likely make it to Four Continents.

Sam-Skwantch · Dec 5, 2014

Maybe this will motivate and push Brooklee to become even better. A little competition can be a good thing.

dorispulaski · Dec 5, 2014

Kailaini may not have met the SP TES either. It depends on whether Lombardia scores from April count towards World TES in this season.
She has 41.07 TES in the free skate and 23.14 in the SP from Tallinn this season.

That's moot though, because her Lombardia free skate was not high enough.

And yes, it is good for both girls to have serious competition!

karne · Dec 5, 2014

Congratulations to Kailani!

And also to Brooklee, that score for the SP yesterday was great!

Brendan landed 4S!

That's my hope.

We know that Brooklee can do the jumps so that is not the big worry. She has already competed at a Senior B and 2 Grand Prix- which is quite draining mentally.
What Brooklee should begin working on is gaining more speed. She looks exceptionally fit so this shouldn't be impossible.

More speed will not only improve her PCS but it would give her more running edge off her jumps.
She tends to jump into her circle because she swings some of her jumps and more speed will help her get those jump combos.

In her Free Skate, Brooklee's jump plan is

3Lo+2T
3Lz
3T
3S+2T+2Lo
3Lo
2A
3S+2A

Maybe consider adding a 2nd Triple Lutz next year so she can do two 3Lz and two 3Lo in her Free Skate. She can do that by replacing her 3T- she sometimes tends to fall on this jump so there isn't that much harm in adding a 2nd Lz.

This is definitely a future plan.
I wonder if she is going to learn the flip??
