    Finnish skating news, 2018 onwards

    So sad that Linnea ceder has no chance :( Lisko’s free programme this year is really lovely and I hope she gets the spot. I hope she will continue the long tradition of beautiful Finnish ladiezzz who have competed at the Olympics (starting from Mika kajas, then onto Alisa Drei, Kettunen...

    2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics - Figure Skating Qualification

    Let’s hope all the stars align and these two can go. Just wish to add that like many, I am rather sick of Romeo and Juliet … but when I watched their performance at the qualifiers I was blown away. The youthful passion and freedom! It takes me back to my young days lol

    2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics - Figure Skating Qualification

    This is the news I have been waiting for ... for quite some time. Tbh I have not got over the atrocity in Skate to Milano qualifiers. So, I really really hope that the Swedish Olympic Committee will let them go and that Milla's citizenship is resolved As for the Finns, I also simply LOVE them...

    2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics - Figure Skating Qualification

    I support Livia! She (together with Kimmy) earned the precious Olympic spots at last year's Worlds. Yes, she barely made it to the free programme but I still recall that she delivered two spirited performances. I feel that her performances at NHK were slightly better than earlier in the...

    What a relief for Hocke / Kunkel. Their journey to Milano has been a tough one. Glad they only just made it to the free last year in Boston, to ensure a spot. It's nice to see they have met the GOC's requirements (I recall they used to set really harsh requirements ... )

    OAS ("Obscure" 4CC skaters) news & articles

    cannot believe it. Shirene was an extremely elegant skater who skated with such joy. She made history by qualifying for the free skate at both the Olympics and at Worlds in 2000. RIP.

    Skate to Milano OWG Qualifier - Ice Dance - September edition

    It's been a nightmare watching that competition, as it unfolded ... The manipulation, and ISU's tolerance or even endorsement of it ... simply unbearable. I'm not sure if anyone else thinks the same way, but the Hungarians and Japanese should all have been way above the Chinese - the Hungarian...

    Finnish skating news, 2018 onwards

    Emmi Peltonen has announced her retirement on IG. What a wonderful skater she was / is!! She probably never realized her true potential, but am glad that she went to the Olympics (though I don't recall if it was a controversial decision to send her instead of Viveca Lindfors at the time). She...

    Finnish skating news, 2018 onwards

    Seems there’s no thread in the kiss n cry section :) So who will be sent to Euros? I liked Linnea Ceder when she competed a few seasons ago. Quite elegant. Olivia Lisko seemed ok too from Finlandia trophy (lots of energy). Amongst the men, will they send Dr. V? I am surprised that Doctor is...

    Laura Lepistö's autobiography published April 2024 in Finland

    Yes and who can forget Poykio, Kettunen, and Saarinen much later … all such great and elegant skaters. Worthy of mention: Drei for her longevity and improved and mature skating towards the end of her career, and Viveca Lindfors for winning a Euros bronze at a time when Russian girls became so...

    Yes I saw the name more than once on Reddit. If he’s the person who assaulted Gracie, hope justice will be served.
