The venue was all lined up well in advance for 2021. The switch to 2023, due to Covid, left a shorter than usual timeline. The first, second and third Sydney options were already booked out. The Brisbane Entertainment Centre was also booked out. The rink in Melbourne doesn’t have a large enough...

There was a venue on the Gold Coast that had been used for the Commonwealth Games. It could have accommodated a temporary rink and stands for spectators. I believe the issue was the practice rink. The rink on the Gold Coast was deemed unsatisfactory and Brisbane too far for practice.

I booked my accommodation as soon as I heard the change.

I’m not surprised to hear how passionate Dr Jane Moran was. She’s the one who sleeps in her scrubs at Worlds, just so she’s ready to jump out of bed if a skater is unwell throughout the night. For at least four years she’s been keeping data on injuries, looking for patterns to see if particular...

Each location change might not suit you, but it will always suit someone. I believe people can fly direct from Japan to the Gold Coast too.

There are a number of Commonwealth Games venues on the Gold Coast with the right capacity and the space for an ice floor. I believe one is booked.

Ashley and Mr Gribble are still appearing in Instagram photos as recently as April 9. It’s a shame for them both of things haven’t ended well.

Danny Neudecker has formed a new partnership with Grace Hanns.

I honestly think Alysa just wants to be a regular teen. She was on Instagram live up until approximately 10 minutes before she posted her retirement announcement. It was late night in Japan and she was in her hotel room. She was playing music and randomly answering some of the questions that...

I don’t see an issue with Susan Lynch being Controller for both. She’s very well respected and pair is such a small event here, it’s not like sitting through 52 junior women somewhere. I’m not sure on the rules aspect with Prins though. My guess is they may be down a few people due to Covid...

I have everything crossed for this to happen.

I hope that someone will post the links to these please. It’s such a shame the the US limits their coverage so much. I don’t know where people find these streams, I never have any luck finding them myself, so I’d be very grateful for any links posted.

Agreed. It sounds like a sad and difficult situation.

Isabella has posted an update on her Instagram. Dima is physically okay, he was checked on. He is still at home. We will not be competing at Nationals. I am feeling very confused and helpless at this time. I cannot get into contact with him still, and I do not know for sure what this means...

This definitely crossed my mind too. But it’s not like he magically and suddenly learnt to skate at Junior International level. So, the family must have been fine with supporting his skating at some point. It sounds like a sad and difficult situation indeed. I hope he’s okay.
