DIAOness On Ice at Sochi Winter Olympics!

Remember Brooklee Han, the 18-year-old Australian figure skater who used Jay's music from Secret for her long programme in 2013?

No matter if you don't.
Here's the link to my blog post from 13 November 2013:

I was also informed from reliable sources that her mother had emailed JVR about Brooklee using Jay's music and to their credit, JVR replied that Jay had seen the video and was very happy about it. He also generously allowed them to use his music. :)
I'm almost 100% certain that he said: "Aiyo, bu cuo!"

Anyway, the upshot is that Brooklee did qualify for the Sochi Winter Olympics and she has just finished her two events.

The first was the short programme and she then qualified further for the free skate, which is where she would perform to Jay's music.

Brooklee's free skate was on 20 February and although she had a fall, she was able to pick herself up well and continue without any other mishaps.

I was not able to watch but I chanced upon some vids from Facebook which have been uploaded onto youtube (many thanks to MK Chia):

So beautiful, right??

Congrats and well-done, Brooklee!
