Kat: Becs, I don't know about how you but I have really not watched a lot of figure skating at all this season.
Becs: I think this is the least figure skating I've watched in like a decade, almost. Granted there hasn't been as much, but even considering I didn't watch a single program until Cup of China, that's like a solid 8 months that I didn't watch figure skating.
Jason, how did it feel switching from such a big federation like Canada to such a tiny one like Australia? Was it a bit daunting at first?
Jason: Yeah it was a big decision that I had to make but [when] I started skating with Holly I think we both knew that it was a good partnership that we were going to create. I think it was the right decision to make, it was worth it.
So figure skating is a pretty non-stereotypical sport here in Australia so in comparison what do you say is the most stereotypical Australian personality trait you have?
Personality trait...well I love...not very personality wise but I guess stereotypically I love Vegemite. And everyone goes "Why do you..? Why do you like it?"
Speaking of your beginnings; were you ever recommended to go into Pairs? Did you ever think about going into Pairs?
Funny you should ask. No, not really - but I actually have done a little bit this year. I think it's two and a half months now where I've been trying a little bit and it's a lot harder. Mad respect to all Pairs skaters because they are insane!
Speaking of your performance skills, is that something that you've trained a lot, or do you find it comes naturally to you?
I'm working on my skills and skating - and I'll work for days. Like I can't skate, or jump, or do stuff before I do my full skating. It's the best feeling ever. That's why I'm still skating.
If you could let the figure skating fan community know one thing about you, what would it be?
The whole community? Oh jeez. I’ll do a funny one. I recently got a lot of money in Animal Crossing.
Are you looking forward to the new Animal Crossing game?
Oh yeah. I’m now donating money to the Town Square to windmills and create paths so I’m very excited about that.
That’s amazing. I love Animal Crossing.
It’s so fun! I just learned a cheat code to get more money and I’m like “Sssh I’m paying my mortgage!” It sounds so ridiculous
Gabrielle: My costumes are actually hot pink and deep purple for the long.
So we'll be seeing that next week?
In two weeks in Kelowna, yes. The Short's actually a two-piece that Kaitlyn and I kind of put our thoughts into together. For the long, it's not exactly like "Carmen," it's the shape that it was today, but it goes ombré from deep to light purple.
Love a good ombré. I'm looking forward to the pairing with the eyeshadow. [Gabby laughs]
