ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships 2019 in Helsinki Finland 12.-13.4.2018 is practically sold out already. Synchronized skating is popular! It is in a quite big arena, same as ISU Helsinki GP will be. I was too slow and did not get a ticket.

This was a very good day in Finnish figure skating: Viveca Lindfors: 3. and new record! Emmi Peltonen: 5. and new record! Ice Dance: Juulia Turkkila - Matthias Versluis 6. and new record! I have never seen Viveca so happy after her skate!

Future Finnish figure skating stars begin they career now. On this weekend most of Finnish figure skating clubs start their figure skating schools! :D:biggrinbo:cheer2:

Yes

Maybe Junior Team was not the best translation. The members are mainly Novices. Best Seniors and Juniors are in Team Finland. I think they have had harder criterias than before, especially for men/boys. There are only Valtter Virtanen and two very young promising boy skaters.

Viveca Lindfors (born 1999, 16. in the Worlds) has also siblings who are promising skaters: - Monica (born 2000, earlier a single skater) got Senior Ice Dance bronze in Nationals with Juho Pirinen - Fanny (born 2004) is the Finnish Champion in Novice Ladies - Matias won the National Final of...

I don't know about Emmi's practicing. In general the situation in Finland is that there is not available prime time ice time for personal use but it is possible to buy ice time daytime. There is free ice time in many rinks when the normal users are at school or at work. F.ex. in Helsinki...

About ice dance: I enjoyed watching all the couples free dances. Monica Lindfors and Juho Pirinen surprised at least me. They have learned so much in a year!

Here in Finland in all big national competitions (where the judges use screens) the results are in that standard form (online). In smaller competitions the results are published in club sites in pdf-form just after the competition. It can't be so difficult!

I have been wondering, years, why 'normal result pages' are not used everywhere? I mean pages like this in ISU Junior GP this weekend. They are very well used in Europe but not everywhere. It is always hard to find (online) results of competitions in USA or Canada. Why?
