Ice dancers Ellie O'Connell and Joshua Tarry represent Great Britain at the advanced novice level. They are (I believe) 13 and 14, but as they don't have an ISU bio page yet, it's a bit hard to find data yet for them. They were recently featured in a BBC documentary called Ice Stars and are the current GB silver basic novice medalists with a total score of 39.64. Personal best from what I can find is 52.73 (advanced novice) at IJS Sheffield from August 2015.

The team is no longer competing.

Since we've all been discussing them in the Ice Stars thread in the Share It section, I thought they deserved their own fan fest. :) (As a side note, this is my first fan fest, so if there's something I'm doing wrong or something I can add, please do let me know!)

Here's their Stats on Ice page:

And their Team Jellie Facebook page (with lots of videos and adorable pictures of them):

Can't believe I haven't posted in this thread yet! :eek:

Firstly, thank you to Princessroja for starting this thread. They are really fortunate to have a supporter as dedicated as you. :bow:

And thank you to tiffoc for, well, giving us Ellie! :) (For those that don’t realise, tiffoc is Ellie’s Mum ;) ).

Anyway, I just wanted to add links for a few videos and articles that I have came across.

Please be warned – because Josh and Ellie are still so young, I have only included material starting from the 2014–15 season.

Hope you like them

Two weekends to go until their advanced novice debut at the NRW Trophy 2015! :cheer:

ETA: Thanks, CaroLiza_fan for the wealth of information! I guess I'd better get my butt in gear figuring out how running a fan fest works since there's season results coming soon and I'm not sure if I should add all that great info to the original post!

I meant their standing relative to the other competitors but I see I should have probably said it more clearly :rofl:

Oh sorry! Haha. Yes, they're in 9th place out of 12 (I think). There's only three points separating 5th from 9th so hopefully they can move up a few places in the free! :cheer:

Edit: Here's the results page. The free skate is tomorrow morning.

Well, NRW is done, and Ellie and Josh finished in 9th place. It sounds like Ellie has really been quite sick (the fb post about it mentioned she basically went from throwing up to performing to throwing up, poor thing), so mega congrats for being able to finish despite all of that, and here's hoping that she feels better asap! I have serious respect for anyone who can do twizzles while feeling nauseated, and despite that, the program already looks so much smoother than their gala performance several months ago. Congrats to Ellie and Josh for their first advanced novice competition! :cheer:

Here's the FS video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6Ges48aJcQ
