*singing quietly and a little off-key*

Australians all let us rejoice, for we are young and free,
We've golden soil and wealth for toil, our home is girt by sea
Our lands abound in nature's gifts, of beauty rich and rare
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair!

Sigh I know right...but obviously it's a traditional thing...I only hope that there is real Gold in that medal

For that size it would wanna be lol, looks like the size of our 20c coins.

 

[ralucutzagy]

Well, that was fun! See you guys tomorow at the dance FD and ladies FS!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

No, I know that, but the question was "Who might grab a surprise gold medal *next* year?" In which case, perhaps this Chinese team.

They do have the potential to do it.

But, I'm still not going to hold my breath that they will still be a team next year.

As I said, this guy has form for appearing with a different partner every season.

What about citizenship for Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya? Will it be possible? I hope so but I don't know at all how difficult (or easy) it is to get the Australian citizenship. And are they already trying to do something for getting it?

AOC's immigration lawyers are already working on it (and have been for some months now). We have special routes for Outstanding Talents, they've been employed before - like when Dale Begg-Smith became Australian right before - was it Salt Lake or Turin? At any rate, surely, surely, you'd have to think that being Junior World Champions would just about print her passport for her.

Great, thank you for information, it sound good for them

Begg-Smith won in Turin and silver in Vancouver

We may not have got a gold in Sochi but 2 silvers and a bronze was still a good effort considering Winter sports is not really Australia's thing

 

[Meoima]

Junior World has become so exciting!!

 

[karne]

Right. Now let's see if I can calm down enough to sleep...

 

[cheerknithanson]

Okay I woke up at about 9:30 am EST. And I went to look at the ladies results. Then the pairs and I saw there was no one left and Ekaterina and Harley were on top and I was like "OH MY GOSH!!!!!!" And then I immediately came here to check how Karne and the other Aussie posters were feeling.

 

[Ross74]

I've always been a fan of Harley because that's my grandfather's name. Congrats to he and Ekaterina!!!

 

[Chemistry66]

I finally had time to look at the results, and OH. MY. GOD. THE AUSSIES ACTUALLY DID IT!

 

[Corwin]

Really miss for Mishina\Mirzoev (( They could win. damn it ((

 

[xeyra]

Congrats to the Australian pair! Once I get back home from work I need to check their FS but I wanted to congratulate them first!

 

[frida80]

What piddly arsed sized medals! I know it's not all about the medal itself but still, be a bit more generous lol!

Better than the plastic ones from GPF.

 

[4everchan]

Into First!

and there forever... just popping in to rejoice for you.

I know how invested you are in this team. YAY!!!

 

[TontoK]

Right. Now let's see if I can calm down enough to sleep...

A thousand congratulations and sweet dreams!

You have been so loyal to your national team, and I am sincerely thrilled for you. And, for them, of course.
