More Ice Dance Couples-
Chantelle Kerry trialling with one of the Dodds boys, mmmmm wonder where that would put Matilda and William in the pecking order.
Interesting to see Dani and Greg putting in some training sessions over the past couple of months.

Great to see Chantelle still skating. She has an elegant quality to her skating which could work really well in dance.

Also, what Dani and Greg are what??? Hmm....we need to see how this may turn out.

What a Junior Worlds this has been so far! It's been raining PBs! And now a history making gold!

Holly will skate her FS tonight at about 7:30pm AEDT. Fingers crossed for another PB to round out the collection!

GF2445 · Mar 18, 2017

Overall, this year was a great year for Australia at Junior Worlds. Not just in pairs, but throughout all the disciplines.
For Holly, what a great first showing from her. I hope that she will continue to excel in her training environment.
For Ekaterina and Harley, onwards to Helsinki- then looking to creating fantastic programs which will drive them to improve next season.
For James, I am excited to see how he will develop- i hope he will have more opportunities to compete next season, and finally break the top 24 at Jnr. Worlds
For Matilda and William, a big step up this season, as well as improving their worlds placement by 5 ranks. Looking forward to seeing how both grow as skaters to be faster, more powerful, and connect.

Maybe we need to continue to invest in Pairs and Ice Dance- keep finding skaters domestically to pair up, as well as look for skaters from overseas to come together and make a large skating program.

Thanks to Katia and Harley's win, Australia may have the opportunity to send three pair teams to next year's junior worlds, should they have the necessary TES.

I think many people (and not even fans of the AUS pair) were hoping to see them on the podium, but not really thinking it could actually happen... and they actually managed to finish ON TOP. What an accomplishment, they can be very proud of themselves, I am too! :cheer:

It has been three days since they won and still NO major news outlets other than the ABC and SBS (via online article) and The Australian (which I don't read) have picked up on it.
Football rules the TV screens again

I'm rather fuming about it. Nine has a freaking "sports sunday" show which was in the perfect zone to mention it but of course it was all footy and cricket. Fat chance of that getting a run. And Fox Sports has no excuse, they are supposed to be a proper sports channel, they have pages of channels, you'd think they could have squeezed it in somewhere.

At least I saw a mention on Facebook with the Australian Olympic page. Winter sports in general get little coverage in Australia.

This is sad, but not totally unsurprising. Team USA won a world championship in biathlon a month or so ago. It is a sport I loosely follow, just because I think it is interesting. USA is NOT a power in this sport, so a gold medal was something of a shocker and significant to the development of the sport in America. Cherry on top, a silver medal in another race.

I only know because of a very short blurb on ESPN's Olympic site. I saw NOTHING is larger mainstream outlets.

Yes, I'm sure she will! What a cutie she is! :love:

I also very like her music's choices and dresses. Here is 2015 and 2016. She is like a little princess.

Kailani Craine looked very sharp this morning at the 2017 World Championships.

During her practice, Craine was fast, focussed and strong.

She skated a solid short program run - through, with only a slight turn - out on the triple loop.

Having observed all 37 ladies in action, we feel that if Craine skates as well as she did this morning, she has an excellent chance of making the final 24.
