Australian skating news

[Orm Irian]

Brendan put a few new Instagram stories up today; it looks like he's back in Australia and his foot is all healed up.

Shooting some promo for Channel 7's Winter Olympic coverage, by the looks of things. I'm glad he's looking better and he's home - he'll need to be in tip-top shape for the challenge of Nebelhorn this year!

James Min shared a few seconds of a new program in his Instagram story and I recognized the opening notes of "To Build A Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra.

ETA that this April 13th "free program sneak peek" clip is The Cinematic Orchestra's "Arrival of the Birds" (assume it's from the same program?): https://www.instagram.com/p/CNmd6uDBtxB/

So what would Nancy Kerrigan do? She would post a clip in support of our small rink in Hobart that is up for sale and that we risk losing if it cannot find a buyer. Our campaign has gone international. Please feel free to join our FB group to show support.

And just an idea - wonder if we could get some other international skaters out there to send videos of support. It would be so cool.

Glad to see this new article and local news report!

Olympian Nancy Kerrigan enlisted to help save Tasmania's last ice-skating rink

A battle to save Tasmania's only ice rink has ramped up with a celebrity of the sport drafted into the campaign.

November 2020 article on the history of the Glenorchy ice rink that I posted earlier in this thread:

For 40 years, one family has run Tasmania's only ice skating rink:

The Kaitnis family's ice skating rink is 40 years old, 'but it's pretty good looking considering'

From discos on blades to ice hockey tussles, Tasmania's only skating rink has seen thrills and spills for the past 40 years. Its owners are finally hanging up their skates.

I saw a few Instagram stories last week by Brendan, Kailani, and Chantelle Kerry & Andrew Dodds from Channel 7's Olympic photo shoot.

I don’t know why but I still think about Katia and her life. And the final note she left. I find myself thinking about her very frequently.

Same.

We seriously debated whether to continue covering the sport on our website and Facebook page after Alexandrovskaya's passing.

It was very traumatic to think that a sport which brings fans so much joy, may generate so much heartbreak for the competitors as well.

In this 11-minute interview with Harley (uploaded May 4, 2021 but don't know when it was recorded), he says at the 1.5 min. mark "I'm currently in Moscow right now having a few tryouts with some girls" and at the end he says "if everything goes to plan I really hope to start competing again in September...": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWL-lMNwdI0

Campbell Young & Lachlan Lewer are a new Junior/Senior Australian pair team: https://www.instagram.com/teamyoungandlewer/

I assume he's the Lachlan LEWER PARR who placed 2nd in Adv. Novice Men at the Australian Nationals in December 2019:

Hector Giantopolos-Moore is also skating with a new partner in Russia. Can't remember her name.

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

How exciting for Australian pairs.

Here's hoping all three teams are able to qualify for the 2023 Four Continents Championships in Sydney.

Size wise, they look like a good match.

I believe Campbell was previously paired for a short time with Ryan Dodds and before that, Tremayne Bevan.

She also skated with Mikhail Gumba at the 2019 US Figure skating Championships.

 

[sammyf]

Lachlan Lewer also has pairs experience and won the basic novice pairs Oceana International in 2019 with his partner of 3 years. At 15/17 him and Campbell should have a long time in juniors still.

Did Ryan find a new partner too?

Should we start a 2021-22 Australian domestic competitions thread in the Kiss & Cry section? Hollins Trophy dates are Saturday 12 June to Monday 14 June 2021.

 

[Orm Irian]

Can we keep discussion here? Not all of us do the Kiss n Cry section.

 

[Foolhardy Ham Lint]

Yay, Bill&Till! Will this be livestreamed? I'd love to watch their new FD again.

I hope the event is livestreamed, too.

On a side note, I wonder if two very talented junior ladies, Amelie Tabor and Victoria Alcantara, who competed on the JGP circuit, are still competing.

A promising debut for this ambitious team. Here's hoping with a few more competitions, they'll increase their grades of execution, too.

Should we start a 2021-22 Australian domestic competitions thread in the Kiss & Cry section? Hollins Trophy dates are Saturday 12 June to Monday 14 June 2021.

Hollins Trophy competition thread with links to starting orders/results and the YouTube livestreaming channel: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...june-12-14-other-aus-nzl-competitions.108358/

Can we keep discussion here? Not all of us do the Kiss n Cry section.

The Kiss & Cry section is open to all for now, and since there is a livestream for Hollins, I decided to start a competition thread.

Correcting my song ID error in my April 28th post:

James Min shared a few seconds of a new program in his Instagram story and I recognized the opening notes of "To Build A Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra.

ETA that this April 13th "free program sneak peek" clip is Coldplay's "O" (Fly On)" (assume it's from the same program?): https://www.instagram.com/p/CNmd6uDBtxB/

Chantelle Kerry & Andrew Dodds are listed for Nebelhorn Trophy (among several other early ice dance internationals), along with Anastasia Golubeva & Hektor Giotopoulos-Moore (also the JGP in Krasnoyarsk since they are based in Russia) in the Google document (link is titled "2021_22 International Assignments-Updated") in the International Nominations, Assignments and Rankings section of the ISA website: https://www.isa.org.au/high-performance-and-athlete-development
