And the FD minimum too!!
Actually, they were quite close to getting the FD minimum for worlds.

I think we have found our clear #1 Ice Dance team.

not really clear seeing as the others are out with injury or not able to compete...
 
Today's performances remind me of how far elite Australian figure skating has come, and yet, how far it needs to go. I hope Skate Canada was an important experience for Brendan and Kailani.
 
Brendan landed the same number of clean quads as Uno, which was more than anyone else. So I'm really glad he got over that hurdle and hopefully woke a few people up. Hard to know how much the new FS played into the rest or if he just lost concentration (which let's be honest - his concentration loss was not the worst one today).

I thought Kailani was undermarked on PCS and I know I'm not the only one. She kept control over her FS well but I thought she looked almost too intense, like she was overthinking it. That's okay, it'll come.
 
Kailani Craine runs through her short program at Skate Canada. She includes a killer triple loop / triple loop for her combination.

That was awesome, hey!! I can’t get over how much more confident she’s become recently. Weird too since she looks taller (unless it’s just camera angles), and doesn’t that normally turn out to be a disadvantage? Unless she maybe gained muscle mass as well? Eh, who knows, at least she’s rocking it!
 
Set your DVR timers.

SBS TV Australia will be airing the ISU Grand Prix Series each Saturday from 2.30 - 4.00pm. (Screening times may vary from state to state.)

Next week on October 28, the season beings with the ISU Rostelecom Cup.

OMG! This is awesome news! I was just wondering if they were still going to show it...I mean I watch the streams, but there's nothing like watching skating in hi-def!

Of course...this means I have to clear my PVR from all the skating I recorded last year. :laugh:

No way!!! Omggg another win for SBS!!! I find it so ironic how we have “One” specifically dedicated to sports yet still have virtually nothing on there other than motor sport or boxing movies *rolls eyes*
SBS does a way better job of covering sports IMHO, sure they have events squeezed in between random weird stuff but hey, it’s better than nothing!

Do we know who will be broadcasting the Olympic Games?

Hey now, One sometimes has MacGuyver on it ;)

:laugh: Well when it first came on TV everyone used to say SBS stood for S*x Between Sports so I'm kinda used to weird stuff!

Channel Seven got it back, so they'll be doing it, I imagine they'll have a lot of the same commentators? I dunno. I hope that Roy and HG pop up, those guys are hilarious!

Haha I know, I see it at the gym sometimes - always makes me think of The Simpson’s!
I just hope they’ll pull out some sporting footage before resorting to Matlock! ;p

Ohhhh did my year 11 class ever cop a dose of weird s*t thanks to SBS back in the day! Our teacher enthusiastically recommended that we watch some foreign film, on at like 9pm on a weeknight, without realising that it was proceeded by one of those R rated short filmettes. 😂 without going into detail, let’s just say that it involved an, um, *unusual* use of ice 😂 so I might just be double checking the TV guide to make sure it is actual skating that I’m about to watch!! *scarred for life*

That’s good, they managed to show quite a bit last time if memory serves! Roy & HG are brilliant!! I forgot about their segment, I hope they do get their recap slot again!
 
Just saw on her Facebook profile that Polina Korobeynikova is in Brisbane at the moment, presumably for a show. And she has posted some beautiful photos from a koala sanctuary.

Unfortunately, she has them set to private. She did post the group photo to Instagram, but for some reason it is coming up with an error message.

HOWEVER, Roxanne Rheault has posted an album containing the group photo, as well as a beautiful photo of herself, over on her Instagram page:

Just wish the one of Polina holding the koala was there too. :disapp:

Anyway, I just thought you would be interested to know that they are in the country.

Well Done Chantelle and Andrew. Some mistakes, but they were really performing out there.
About 5 points short on the technical minimum score.

Kim and Tim- nice work.
