Brendan Kerry and Kailani Craine have recorded victories at the 2014 ISA Australian Figure Skating Championships at the Iceworld Olympic Ice Rink in Boondall, Brisbane.
Kerry’s win makes it three National titles for the 2014 Sochi Olympian, which he did in commanding style winning both the short and free program. Brendan performed the first ever successful quad salchow by an Australian to open his free program.
