If the scores from Skate America were used, Brooklee would be far above Kailani in ranking. It is wonderful that Kailani did so well at Lombardia, however, MJS scores really can not compare to International scores. It is like apples and oranges. It would be great to see the Aussie ladies work together and get more spots for themselves and ladies to come! I think these two could do just that!
I completely agree. I really hope that if Brooklee and Kailani continue to make big gains, who knows if a miracle can happen at 2017 Worlds which would give us two spots in the ladies'. I can bet you there would've been a lot of young Aussie figure skaters who would've seen Brooklee's skate on youtube and were motivated to work hard to be their best. That is what we need at the moment, a leading skater or skaters who can inspire the younger one's to give themselves the belief that it is possible to make it to the elite level.
