Competition News
Things have been a little quiet for the past few weeks which is why nobody has updated the blog recently. However Sk8r Grrl entered two competitions this month. One at Macquarie Ice Rink, the other at Penrith Ice Palace.
We are proud to announce she won her division at Macquarie, and came second at Penrith. If anything the second place was harder won because the competition was far larger and had she not lost two points by ’skipping’ a jump she would have won that as well!
Of course she still has a long way to go before we’d claim she is a ’significant’ skater. Currently she is still competing at the ‘Preliminary Level’ but in October she will be taking the two tests she needs in order to open up the path to the extended comptition circuit, and the higher levels of difficulty. From there on it’ll just require hard work and perseverance. Even at 8 years old she is showing the promise that she *could* go far, but of course also at that age who knows what distractions will pop up to divert her attention to other activities? 
This photo is of her ’second place’ at Penrith but she wore the same dress to Macquarie as well… the only real difference is that the grin at Macquarie was a lot wider.
