Career

Single skating

Dodds began learning to skate in 1995. [1] He competed at one ISU Junior Grand Prix competition, in September 2010 in Karuizawa, Japan.

Dodds received bronze medals at the New Zealand Winter Games in 2009 and 2011. He won his first senior national medal, bronze, during the 2011–2012 season. His ISU Championship debut came at the 2014 Four Continents in Taipei, Taiwan; his short program placement (27th) did not allow him to compete in the free skate. Similarly, his appearance at the 2015 Four Continents Championships (Seoul, South Korea) ended after the short program, in which he ranked 25th.

During the 2015–2016 season, Dodds became the Australian national silver medalist and competed in the final segment at the 2016 Four Continents Championships in Taipei, finishing 20th. The following season, he took bronze at the Australian Championships and placed 20th at the 2017 Four Continents Championships in Gangneung, South Korea. He was coached by Margaret Nicholls in Gold Coast, Queensland. [1]

Ice dancing

Dodds had a tryout with Australian single skater Chantelle Kerry in April 2017. They announced their partnership in mid-May, after Dodds had passed his dance tests. The two are coached by Monica MacDonald and John Dunn in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. [5]

Kerry/Dodds debuted their partnership at the 2017 International Cup of Nice, finishing 16th.

In 2018, Andrew Dodds and Chantelle Kerry appeared in the music video of "Before I Go" by Australian singer Guy Sebastian. [6]
