WELCOME TO THE SYDNEY FIGURE SKATING CLUB
Dear Members & Visitors,
We wish all skaters good luck for the coming season – 2026. Enjoy your achievements and learn from your experiences.
Watch all the action of the Milano 2026 Olympic Games including performances from our resident pair Anastasiia Gloubeva/Hektor Giotopoulous Moore
2025 In Review: Our rink’s closure continued to pose many challenges for our skaters’ training schedules in the lead up to States and Nationals and unfortunately, these will continue for a while yet – but there is light at the end of the tunnel with re-opening of the rink projected for late 2026. (see latest update)
2025 concluded with the Australian Figure Skating Championships held this year in Brisbane in December, with some creditable performances by our skater members. Our Synchro teams did us proud with Team Unity again securing their nomination to represent Australia at the World Synchronized Skating Championships in Salzburg, Austria, in early April 2026. Considering the challenges all our skaters face with their training schedules and/or securing ice time, they have all done an amazing job and we congratulate them.
Our Resident Pair Team – Anastasiia Gloubeva/Hektor Giotopoulous Moore have had some amazing performances over the year and we wish them continued success as they follow their dream into 2026. Hektor and Anastasiia placed 9th overall at the 2025 World Championships securing an Olympic quota spot for Australia – congratulations! Read more about them on our ‘Pairs’ page where you will find links to performances, results and more.
With the continued closure of the Canterbury Olympic Ice Rink, our challenges will continue throughout 2026 and we remind ourselves again as to how lucky we are to be part of such a wonderfully supportive skating community.
Again, we thank, sincerely, all rinks for working with us and our members in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The Rinks’ continued assistance with ice time has helped enormously in our preparations for competition. Our skaters/Sych teams who have received nomination to International Competitions or Championships for 2026 could not have done it without the incredible support received from the rinks in NSW & ACT during 2025 and the wider skating community. An enormous THANK YOU to each and everyone of you.
We are excited to see what 2026 brings us and incredibly excited at the prospect of our home rink re-opening later in the year.
Raising champions since 1961
The Sydney Figure Skating Club is Australia’s longest continuing figure skating club. It was conceived in 1961 at the Bondi Junction Ice Rink in Spring Street Bondi Junction, and this is quite possibly where the club chose its distinctive colours of blue, white and red. The Bondi Junction rink stood on the same site as the current home of the Roosters Club “Easts”.
Called at that time the Bondi Junction Ice Dance and Figure Skating Club, the Club changed its name to the Sydney Figure Skating Club when it moved to the newly opened Burwood Glaciarium in 1964.

The Club established the Hollins Trophy in 1968 in honour of the Late Mr Ray Hollins, Club Treasurer and father of two dedicated skaters. This event is Australia’s largest non-championship competition and is conducted annually at Canterbury Olympic Ice Rink as an ISU International Inter-club event.
Over nearly 50 years, the Club has had many members who have gone on to represent Australia at International, World and Winter Olympic events.
The Sydney Figure Skating Club has a very rich history based on strong member involvement and a passion to succeed. It works in close harmony with the Ice Skating Club of NSW (Cooperative) Limited which has operated the Canterbury Olympic Ice Rink and a non-profit facility since 1971.
