No triples from any of our ladies ?? Bit sad :noshake:
Of course you would be negative - you and your brothers predicted the girls would all be down the bottom - top 10 not too shabby [emoji8]

Don't. Just don't. Can we not, please.
All of our skaters skated very well today and we should be proud of that. All we can ask of anyone is that they do their best. And they did.
If you two want to snipe at each other, take it to PM, at least, please.

Huh ?? I don't have siblings ?
You're the one who said Amelia could do clean 3S ?? So where was it. She could have been in 7th if she had done it. I don't come all the way to Brisbane to watch our girls play it safe and do doubles. Sure all of our girls were kinda clean, but their program content is so simple and has been basically same for 3 years. And I think it's safe to say that this was a fairly easy JGP compared to some. Think about where Kailani could have placed if she decided to do junior. She'd be 4th or 5th.
Our men were far more impressive. James trying triple axel, darian trying triple-triple, even Giuseppe did 3S. Why are our junior ladies so far behind the standard.

Well no falls is good. Great job to everyone. Although I would expect to see some of our skaters dropping placements after the free skate. Good to see the home crowd supporting its skaters. The energy for Darien was amazing.
I was having massive preminitions that the SPs were going to be terrible. I was however blown away at what i saw from them.
About our ladies not doing triples- if they continue to work hard, they will come. If they are willing to fight for them 100%, they will get it

Everyone did the best they could have today. Everyone should be happy.
Yes it would have been good for them to have tried triples but at this stage its not really worth it because they cant get them clean. So a nice double is worth more than a downgraded fall.
I just think it is a huge missed opportunity to not have sent Holly (yes, I know she is injured but my point still stands) or Kailani. Both girls could have placed really high with some decent skates. Its an easy JGP and points earned here go towards Team Event points. Even if we end up getting 3 disciplines qualified, team points from the season still come into play and not sending our best girls to this event, doesn't help our Olympic goal!

It's really nice and refreshing to see a competition in Australia. I like the enthusiasm of the crowd and it reminded me of the amazing audience of the Sydney Olympics.
Only problem is the time difference of course, but I can catch up watching on the weekend. Have only watched (most of) the women's SP. Amelia Scarlett Jackson stood out to me.
Hope to see more Australian competitors in future international competitions:agree:

Nice try but we all know you live in Brisbane and you watch her train nearly every day - she skated beautifully yesterday - can't you just give her that once - she did clean 3s last year at JGP Tallin and scored lower - it was a safe and smart move that paid off. I hope she has a great LP.
As for it being an easy JGP - the top girls are probably the best in the world and include a US junior champion, a couple with 3a and a Russian with a quad ???

Yes she did skate well, ill give her that. But she did skate a very simple program that she has done for almost 3 years. I would expect her to skate that clean. Maybe she'll try one or two in the free. Everyone else in her group will be, she will look weak if she doesn't.
With it being a easier jgp, all i mean is that it's very rare to see someone with no triples make the top ten.
P.s. I live Sydney. Coach at Canterbury and Macquarie. I saw Amelia at Hollins. (We've had this conversation before, but your source of information is incorrect)
You are really incredible - you claim to know so much about her skating but don't realise that she had triple sal in her program all of last season. Frankly it's kind of weird that you and your cronies are hell bent on proving how bad she is

What I mean is she probably did the exact same program content than she did 3 years ago.
I only know what I see. And I saw a watered down program.
I don't think Amelia is bad, nor have I ever said that. Just disappointed none of our girls did triples.

The cat is out of the bag.
ISA and ISV are working towards bidding for a future Four Continents event, to be potentially hosted at the O'Brien Group Arena in Melbourne.

YAY That would be amazing!
Is O'Brien Group Arena big enough, though? There's not really that many seats there...
Sounds great would totally go, but yeah, isnt it only around 1,000 seats in the main rink?
I mean, it will be perfect for a small skating nation like ours- its managable. I prefer a small rink filled than a large rink half filled.
Also, the fact that there are 2 sheets of ice makes it perfect for organisers.
It could be seen as the first step towards maybe garnering enough interest so that in future they will be able to hold events in larger arenas.

The problem: let's say when we get it someone like Uno is still skating. 1000 seats + a big name Japanese + only an 8 hour flight from Japan? That's a recipe for a disaster. And by disaster I mean the tickets selling out way too fast and Aussie fans missing out.
