Figure Skating in Australia

Funny that the double axel isn't an option like last season.

I just found out the sp required throw is a double or triple loop. Hopefully that element is more consistent for them this year.
 
I'd be surprised if the wording was strictly "double Lutz"; the wording is usually "double or triple". Though admittedly in pairs this is very much a moot point, since very few Senior pairs can do SBS 3Lz, let alone Juniors.

I wonder what jump they're substituting in for the Senior SP?

Wasn't the Lutz the required jump only two seasons ago? I remember Seguin/Bilodeau doing it in their Grand Budapest programme.

It was. Hmmm......i suppose its the commitees decision
Have they done the flip jump in recent years?
 
The ISA international assignments are updated. Some notes:

- Nebelhorn: Kailani, Matilda/William and Katia/Harley are listed as entries. Brooklee, Kimberly/Timothy, and Paris/Matthew are listed as subs.

- Andorra: FOUR. SENIOR. DANCE. TEAMS. HOLY. WOW.

- Dance in general: absolutely buttloads of assignments, including some for Chantelle/Andrew, which is cool. Looks like ISA are giving everyone a shot at 4CC minimums at least.

- Brooklee and Kailani in alternating CS events - I guess these will have a big say in the actual Olympic selection, as well as Nats results.

Sorry for my ignorance but why can't they send both Kailani and Brooklee to maximize the chances for Australia. I love both of them so it would be nice to see both at the same competition.

Each country is only allowed one entry in each division - otherwise I'm sure ISA would have done that.
 
Harley and Katia, With a performance like this they aren't getting an Olympic spot. The program isn't anything special to me, they both look stiff and don't give any emotion or possess any performance skills at all. You could change that music to anything else and it wouldn't make a difference. Hopefully they can pull something together better than this for the qualifier.

With Kailani, as long as she keeps it together in the short and goes clean in both programs she should get a spot. She has the World Ranking put her in a good draw for nebelhorn to start with so that will help. But if she can keep in the mix after the short, she has a good chance. She went back to her old long program and has a great dress so she is well packaged and hopefully will be ready in time.

For Dance, with Matilda and William going we don't really have a shot, only a potential spot at the team event. Waiting to see how the dancers go, M/W and K/T were nothing to rave about but did as expected at the Lake Placid comp.

Whats happening with Adele and Demid? They aren't with Monica and John anymore right? the 3 teams training together there would have been fun to watch. I heard he has had some Visa issues?
Is cup of nice Chantelle and Andrews first comp out? its a shame there was no chance for them to get picked for the qualifier based on the policy but have only seen them once they probably have 4cc and worlds scores on there mind.
Will be interesting to see how C/A really stack up with the other Aussie teams? has anyone seen them skate?

I actually thought this was a very nice program for them - obviously they're not 100% ready to go but they don't have to be for another month. Also note that this is the Junior version of the program (SBS 2Lz) and I imagine the Senior version will have harder SBS jumps and maybe a different throw.

I haven't heard anything about this but that would be sad if true, they did pretty well last season.

It'll be their first international comp out. I saw them skate at Hollins and they were very good then for how little time they'd had together. I'm looking forward to seeing them with a few months' work on them.

I would love to see them both at the same meet, too!
Has it been announced when & where our nationals will be held? I will gladly make the trip to the eastern seaboard (can't imagine nationals being held anywhere else lol) for the chance to see both ladies skate!!

As stated earlier - at Nebelhorn specifically they can't send both. You only get one entry in each division.

Nationals this year will be in Brisbane, Dec 2-8. If you plan on going up know that the Senior stuff will likely be later in the week.

That wasn't me who asked about Nebehorn...
but thank you for the info re Nationals!
I'm assuming both gals will be there...hope so, anyway!
That'll be right around my bday. Work permitting, I might start dropping some not-so subtle hints as to what I'd like receive **cough** TICKETS **cough cough** ;)
