Chance for an Olympic team medal!

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Not something I anticipated reading today!

Me, either.

I thought her partnership with Steven Adcock at the 2023 World Team Trophy looked very promising.

But reading her Wiki page, the pair split b/c Adcock sustained a back injury.

Harley will need to fast track his Korean citizenship if that's the case.

Good luck to all the Aussie kids (but especially Darian Kaptich) skating at Asian Open Figure Skating Trophy in a couple of days! They must be on their way by now.

So is that Darian's first international senior medal as well as his first fully rotated triple axel in international competition? I'm pretty sure about the axel but cannot for the life of me remember re medals.

Yes, he won bronze.

I posted about this in the Netflix series thread after I watched it last. Very sad but well made.

I didn't realise we had an Aussie girl in this week's JGP until the YouTube algorithm showed me her SP video, but now I'm absolutely charmed by Luna Shimogaki! She has lovely lines and very finished arm work for her level of experience, and I think she has tons of potential. Definitely one to keep an eye out for in the future!

Just so you know, South Australia temporarily and completely out of the blue lost access to its only ice rink, the Thebarton IceArena, last week due to (apparently) financial and political problems between the owners and the previous management. Luckily, though, Richard Laidlaw has been able to step in as new manager and the rink is once again open to figure skaters preparing for nationals and ice hockey players, as well as to the general public.

Across the pond, sure, but I thought I should mention that Yanhao Li from NZL won bronze in the junior men's event at the 2024 Youth Olympics earlier today. What a talent!

The ISA website has been relaunched with a new look.

www.isa.org.au

It is still a work in progress so please forgive me if stuff is not working on it. Gradually getting it sorted out. But we had to cut the cord to the old one and get the new one out there.
