The communication is for Choreographic elements, but the emphasis on judging the use of the music as part of the element score is really being hammered with the judges. So even in spins and steps particularly, if the element doesn't match it then you are meant to reduce your GOE. Even if is...

I would have trouble getting to a +5 if it wasn't effortless because it does impact the overall quality. And that kind of goes together with commitment and body control. The first two points are what they are really trying to emphasis and I do like that. Particularly the music side of things...

That is not the only thing that I know is a problem.

Re the Tassie rink (which is where I live), I am not going to get excited until there is a contract signed and they start laying concrete. The construction company will only build it if someone else comes up with the money. And the "investor" is wanting the government to provide the loan.

And any bet she will pick the best music and do a :kickass: program to it.

An animator has taken Alysa's program and put her FS into animated form. A basic figure but absolutely captures the joy of Alysa's skating. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PEy5PazcbXE

I could imagine Alysa doing an Abba FS.

Someone at work said Alysa reminded him of this character. https://grug.com.au/ I am sure Alysa would love it.

Thanks for gifting that. I did see it but couldn't read it all.

They were talking about Alysa on our national youth radio today. For that to happen in Australia is a big thing. I think her skating to music that they play has caught their attention. She is a new generation skater who is going to attract people to the sport. That she seems to be incredibly...
