Regarding the citizenship issue, Milla and Nikolaj has spoken today with media about the citizenship situation. Here is a link to paper: Expressen. So the facts from the article: Migrationsverket in Sweden received her application only 12 days ago, the 1th of December. Milla couldn´t apply...

Anybody have any idea if Swedish OC actually has a certain score for the standard requirements? I heard something about the possibility to place top 12 at Olympics, which is not very specific. If this could translate to the top 12 scores at Worlds in Boston, that would be 244.19 for men and...

What do you mean? SOC has confirmed they will send them? Does that mean Milla has gotten her citizenship already? If this is true it´s amazing news.

Yeah this is the option they have. I have two thoughts about this. If you look at them isolated as a team, I think they should very well be within the requirements here. They are really talented, already won a Challenger medal and has been improving every season, behind what anyone actually...

Okay, I just read about it in Swedish media - for anyone else interested and can read Swedish or wants to try a translator, here is the article. It seems like Milla already started the application process in March, but the issue here is the application process time, which seems to be longer...

So actually the club has removed the story and apparently didn´t clear it with them first... Swedish Media is now reporting that they might not get to go because of citizenship issues and SOC requirements. Yikes. But maybe media attention can speed up the process of citizenship and bring some...

Well the good thing is if SOC screws them over now, they have time to switch feds before 2030 unless they rather go for reaching the extremely difficult requirements next time.

The Swedish club they represent seems pretty sure they are going. They basically posted in Swedish that Milla and Nikolaj and the club are going to present Sweden in Milano. Unless their social manager for the club is really out of sync with the requirements about citizenship etc., they must...

IIRC when they first announced who were allowed to compete and try get a spot under the neutral status - there was something about that they still had to stay neutral and their neutral status would be checked again before Olympics. With other words, there was no guarantee for the neutral...

I feel like they really should have been looking into Skate to Milano, but I guess it´s not the right teams competing there. Because that was something that really caused consequences - like missing out on Olympic spots...

They are not on the entries anymore for Tallinn Trophy, so they appeared to have WD. I saw same talk about that they already arrived in Tallinn, maybe they just stay there for training before they go to Japan? Doesn´t seem so dumb when they already have the accommodation.

The gap was extreme yes, but I also think they were extremely overscored at Warsaw Cup. In general there were a lot of high scores there, but for me it was that they were as much as 5 points ahead of the Germans overall that didn´t seem right to me. Looking aside for the technical content, the...

Oooh I knew about the foot injury but not that she had to operate because of a infected wound in the knee. Poor girl, that was unlucky. Hopefully she is recovering well.

I thought maybe that skating in front of skater family and friends is a reason to go... Also in small feds like this, I think representation is important for recruitment in the sport. I do remember Phebe making a video recently that the Skating Fed or club gave them some really nice gifts...

Would they really drop British Championship? I mean if they have been promoted for ticket sale it would not look good. It’s not like they will qualify for GPF so they might decline. I’m sure they thrilled with that one spot to begin with.
