Nationals entries are posted http://www.isq.org.au/Results/result.htm Surprised to see Katia and Harley listed in senior pairs, not sure how that will work with the timing of the JGPF.

I'm happy to see Matilda and William listed in senior dance, hopefully they've recovered from their injury.

[Aussie Willy]

I don't think they will be competing at Nationals. I heard they asked for a bye.

 

[misskarne]

Nationals entries are posted http://www.isq.org.au/Results/result.htm Surprised to see Katia and Harley listed in senior pairs, not sure how that will work with the timing of the JGPF.

I'm happy to see Matilda and William listed in senior dance, hopefully they've recovered from their injury.

I would be shocked to see them at Nationals, considering William would only be, at most, 8-10 weeks post break and post op.

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

It seems either Ice Skating Australia has cloning or teleporting skills we mere mortals don't know about.

How else would they explain listing Alexandrovskaya & Windsor competing at next week's national championships (which are happening at exactly the same time / same days as the junior grand prix final in Nagoya, Japan, where the couple are slated to compete, too)

[Bunny Hop]

There are definitely a few names on that list who are 'in doubt' to actually compete.

 

[misskarne]

I noticed there's been some updates - Katia and Harley and Matilda and William have been removed. Adele and Demid have also been removed.

I'm hoping the disappearance of Brooklee's name was just a typo when they were fixing stuff.

I hope she isn't injured as well.

I see that your other dance team is still listed, even though they withdrew from Andorra Open.

Yeah, that happens all the time, though. I think there were some issues surrounding the logistics of that one.

I've started an AUS Nationals thread in the Kiss & Cry section: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...re-skating-championships-dec-2-8-2017.102452/

I'm sorry to see that Holly Harris is no longer listed in Junior Ladies - I assume she's been dealing with an injury this season?

I read on GS Holly sustained a concussion in practice a while back.

 

[B.Cooper]

I read on GS Holly sustained a concussion in practice a while back.

I believe that was while Harris was in Detroit, around the time of Skate Detroit. If I remember correctly, something about skaters bumping into each other, she fell, and was off the ice for some time. She did return to Colorado Springs to train, (and if I heard this correctly as well, left Zakrajsek and returned to Christy Krall), but had been struggling with finding her momentum again. Hopefully she will fully recover.

I hope so, too. Holly is one of those rare skaters who is able to bring tremendous artistry to the constraints of IJS.

I am relieved to hear that her condition is being taken seriously, and she isn't being pushed to return too soon.

With no Holly, Amelia Scarlet Jackson could be the junior champion and the senior bronze medalist!

 

[greenapple]

Brooklee Han announced on her Twitter page that she is injured and will not be competing at Australian nationals.

 

[Sylvia]

Here's Brooklee Han's tweet: https://twitter.com/brookleeh95/status/936297917140303872

It saddens me to announce that I have to withdraw from the 2017 Australian National Championships. I am coming back from an injury, but don’t worry I will be back even better than before & ready in time for Four Continents! I want to wish everyone the best of luck! Skate Great!

I wish the best for both Brooklee Han and Holly Harris on their respective recoveries. I've missed Holly's expressive skating this season and hope she'll be back when she's fully healed and ready.

Brooklee Han announced on her Twitter page that she is injured and will not be competing at Australian nationals.

Oh dear! That is really too bad. Glad she is taking time to heal and hopefully she will be back for 4CC’s. I assume she will get that assignment even without competing at Nationals?

I believe she and Kailani are the only ladies with the minimums, so yes.

I am very about her not being at Nationals though.

I thought Amelia would have got them at Finlandia? (Off to check)

Nope, she didn’t.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Jackson was quite lovely in the JGP I saw her in.

ITA. She has a lovely quality on the ice and a beautiful 2A. Triple sal not quite there yet, but IMHO she has a ton of potential.

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

With no Holly, Amelia Scarlet Jackson could be the junior champion and the senior bronze medalist!

If Holly isn't healthy enough in time, does Jackson have the TES minimums to compete at the World Junior Championships?

 

[Sylvia]

Amelia has the Jr. Worlds SP minimum (20) but not the FS minimum (35):

Holly HARRIS AUS 31st Volvo Open Cup 2016 09.11.2016 28.42 J 31st Volvo Open Cup 2016 09.11.2016 46.23 J
Amelia Scarlett JACKSON AUS ISU JGP Brisbane 2017 24.08.2017 23.50 J Mentor Torun Cup 2017 10.01.2017 33.56 J

According to the latest International Assignments document (as of Nov. 21), Jackson is scheduled to compete in 2 upcoming comps (ETA that she's listed for Senior at Grand Prix of Bratislava in mid-Dec. but it is for Juniors & below and Senior at FBMA Trophy in early Jan. which is after the 4CC entry/minimum TES deadline) and Harris is currently listed for some Junior events starting in late January: http://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/793a42_9c0ab2db873747878445b72dbe9bdf00.pdf

Jackson needs the 4CC SP minimum (20); she got the FS minimum of 36 (37.50) at 2017 Finlandia.

 

[kwanfan1818]

12 February 2018 is the deadline for having earned the TES minimums for Jr. Worlds, according to the Announcement. There are a lot of competitions between now and then.

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Amelia Jackson has an ISU TES senior free skating minimum (earned at the ISU CS Finlandia Trophy), and an ISU TES junior free skating minimum (earned at the ISU JGP of Brisbane), would she pre-qualify for entry to the World Junior Championships?

Junior score have to be earned in Junior, and Senior scores have to be earned in Senior, so unfortunately...
