I suppose we just have to wait and see. Speculation is of no value unless there is proof.
Very true but I hope Katie gets to go as probably will be only chance with some strong skaters coming up

OMG their protocols are very interesting to say the least. Is this really count? :shocked:
why do you say this ?
Yes at this competition the marking was erratic. Some of the european skaters were marked very hard.I have no ill intention toward any skaters. But whatever the scores judges threw out here are not legit at all to count. I might misinterpret that the other poster said it counted for minimum TES for 4CC (or Worlds).
I like watching small competitions because you can see more skaters who actually show the joy of skatings. But looking at those score sheets sometime buffles you to no end.
A few in Qld - Corina ormston in novice has good 2a and working on triples and Amelia Jackson got junior world SP tech at 13 and got both 4CC scores at nationals!! She got over 122 in Bratislava at 13 years. Shes had a bad season with injury but is also close to three triples and at least attempting them in competition . There is quiet a few good skaters other than Holly and Kailani and everyones pretty sick of the nastiness and blatant favouritism . No one is saying Katie is not doing well but she has had many times this season to get marks having done quiet a few internationals and only securing 2A this year. I think this person is being realistic not mean.Quite a statement, not sure who the strong skaters are that you mention other than Holly and she is a good few years away from senior competition. No one in junior at Aus Nationals was anywhere near Kailani.

Im not really connected with the skating community inAustralia. Thankyou for your in sight into this issue. At the end of the day, if the 'less favoured' skaters end up skating better and more aggressive than the 'favoured' skaters, the ISA would invest more in them. But again, that is my speculation.
Just think they wanted to know whether he would get to worlds.I'm so over this [emoji14]almf:
I didn't start this thread 2 years ago for bickering over issues of nationality or the nasty side of ISA politics. The Brooklee issue and now the David issue...and now something about ignoring other skaters in favour of others. :sarcasm:
This thread is about celebrating the accomplishments of Australian Figure Skaters on and off the ice.
The Men's event is the only event where there is a cut off.
25 skater compete the short. 1 will miss out on the Free Skate. I just hope it's not one of us.
I know we want to send as many people as possible to 4CC, but how on earth are Matilda and Williams able to go to 4cc when they have never competed senior. I know they achieved the scores in junior but now they will go to taipei and compete a new short dance they have never competed before. Doesn't seem right imo.
Fair point but the thread is about Australian skaters and skating - isnt it a good thing people are talking about a few others who may also have potential. good luck to every one of them
I'm sure if he were to do just a 3t and 3s program he would go clean easy.
He has way more potential than someone like bore face Charlton
Doesn't he score higher than Jordon Dodds anyway? With less elements? Your point of Jordon as superior is null if you look at Nationals results. Jordon landed 50% of his planned triples. All well and good to look at 'maximum potential', but it almost always differs from actual results.
People forget that Figure Skating is not all about the jumps, and that they're just one part of it. Australia has such a small skating community. Way too small to allow politics to affect it, let alone direct attacks on skaters not apart of your obvious posse.
I agree. It seems in Australia certain skaters are funded and pushed by a small number of dominant alliances consisting of family members- obviously very active on this forum.they choose to ignore, belittle or make light of results other than the ones who they favour and want the spotlight to be on.
