Figure Skating in Australia

[sk8ingcoach]

Holly is absolutely our number 1 junior and the only girl to repeatedly land difficult triples jumps in competitions.

All the other girls are a tier below her technically.

 

[Boniboy]

Oh results definitely do speak for themselves. And results have shown that Holly is ahead of our other junior by a fair margin. Our other girls competing in Brisbane are still great, but Holly would get better results than all of them

God your like a dog with a bone ...no one has disputed that at all ... shame she chose not to skate here so we will never know if Jordyn would have beaten her

Although she is very entertaining i dont think Jordyn Lazarus would come close to challenging Holly. Her highest technical scores are miles below Holly.

Hey guys. When I thought when James Min said he was going to work on a quad, I thought it was like "yeah, sure, why not try learning the quad...."
But I was wrong. It was more like...."Im actually seriously going to get the quad"

Why was I wrong? Because he got himself a Quad Toe.

I have no idea what Katia and Harley will be skating to in the Long Program. But it looks fun.

2A 1/2Lo 3S combo and 3T3T jump combos are on the cards for Brooklee this season, but nice to see that she is keeping with her lutz jump.

They are really growing beautifully as a team. Such intricate choreography, using their bodies, too. Thank you for sharing.

I think young skaters are far more interested in instagram than sites like this. Name me one young skater who reads this ? All of our juniors have talent that's why they have a JGP spot. However the overall standard of Australian Skating is lower than most countries. Holly is our stand out skater who can make top 10 at a JGP as well as make Long Program at Junior Worlds which no other of our current juniors would come close. The other girls are still talented but are not technically strong enough to make top 2 groups at a JGP.

I'm a skater and i read all the rubbish that is posted on this forum .

Lol good to know that Boniboy clearly has made a 2nd account. Joined the same day I made that comment and waiting a week to make a post. Very subtle.

Haha First account and had to wait a week because it wouldn't let me reply until the account was verified.

Bianca your actions clearly indicate you have malicious intent towards one particular junior skater and their family - I think the message is clear here - lots of people read this forum so don't fool yourself. Everyone should just wish ALL the skaters well and stop this pointless comparison and nastiness. I have to wonder why you are so fixated on proving your point - this must only be coming from a place of insecurity !

Can you please stop being so dramatic. I've said nothing malicious about anyone and especially not their family ?? For some reason you think I have some personal vendetta against Amelia Jackson ? I was the one that said she deserves 2 JGP's. So I'm definitely supporting her and I hope all the Juniors skate well. The only thing I argued is that Amelia doesn't have clean consistent triples jumps so she won't score as high as someone like Holly who has consistent triples. That is fact, and certainly not malicious.

 

[snsd]

Those junior ladies that are irrelevant to competitive skating anyway, I don't understand how you continue to argue over them.

We have some skaters competing at internationals in the next 2 weeks, lets talk about that.

How do you think our ice dancers are going to go at the Lake Placid International coming up at the end of this week? Which ice dance team should go to the qualifier in September?

Then we have Asian Open, with a big team going. I dont think anyone will have a chance at making a podium at any level with this competition normally getting a few japanese and korean skaters attending. How do you think the team will go?

 

[sk8ingcoach]

Boniboy why you gotta do personal attacks all the time. Bianca Del Rio didn't say anything wrong. What she said is factually correct. Jackson CAN'T do consistently clean triples. Saying that is not being "malicious". She hasn't said anything negative about Jackson. And i agree with her that Amelia should have received 2 JGP's because except for Holly she is a fair way above the other Junior girls technically. That is a positive thing to say.

Now that all the members of your family are posting it's easy to try and water down what is basically an ongoing attack on highlighting the faults of one skater. By stating that she should have got Two JGPs is not being nice - it's actually fact as the results are there. No other skater on this forum has been shredded this much going into competition whilst the mistakes and faults of others are completely overlooked and ignored. You all can gloss over it anyway you like but the wider community sees it exactly for what it is and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Why no senior grand prix assignment for Katya and Harley? Are they doing juniors again this year? I really enjoyed them at Worlds/JW and was looking forward to seeing what they can do on the senior grand prix after winning JW.
