Scandinavian skater's news thread

[SmallFairy]

With Joshi in Toronto, Danish ice dance being both competitive and hot, and even Norwegian skating on the rise, I thought a news thread would be good.

Of course, I was very much inspired by Anne Line Gjersems Instagram, she doing 3toe3toes in practice, and even sometimes 3flip3toes. She's improving so much every season, can't wait to see what's next. I mean, when was a Norwegian skater doing 3f3t?????

Twin sister Camilla is still recovering from her injury. Still on crutches, she's doing rehab with a physiotherapist.

@maatTheViking any news from you neighbors in the south?

Anyone knows anything about Majorov? Is he back to full fitness again? I really, really hope his father is alright too.

I think you just wanted to get them all out of the OES-Thread

Just kidding.

 

[Finnice]

Great idea for the thread! I will try to find about the Majorovs.

Great idea to start this thread, SmallFairy! It is so nice to see progress in areas where it may not necessarily be expected. Thank you for the updates. Keep up the good work!

Of course! And I have no shame about it

thank you!

Just for reference, here is Laurence and Nikolaj's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LaurenceNikolaj/ They have a link to their new SD from a summer comp on there.

According to the Danish Federation, their current planned competitions are:

Finlandia Trophy. 6. – 10 oct.
Autumn Classic international 28. sept. -1. oct.
GP Canada, Skate Canada 28-30 oct
GP Rusland, Rostelecom Cup 4. – 6. nov.
EM, Ostrava 25.-29. jan.
VM, Helsinki, 29. mar. – 2. apr.

Looks like they might not be going to the Danish Championships this year again.

 

[Finnice]

Yes, Laurence and Nikolai are doing Finlandia. Can't wait to see their new programs!

 

[Frau Muller]

Beautiful red dress for Joshi.

 

[AxelAnnie]

Thank you so much for starting this thread. It is nice to have something focused as opposed to huge and unwieldy.

That dress is Flippin gorgeous!

butt poor Majorov has terrible luck.

Ain't nothing poor about Majorov's butt.

 

[WanderlustTO]

Glad for this thread.

How are the Swedish jr ladies doing this season? I know they don't have many spots in jpg, but a couple of the young ones look promising.

 

[Finnice]

Ain't nothing poor about Majorov's butt.

Shall I tell your humble opinion to him in Finlandia?

 

[Loves_Shizuka]

Ain't nothing poor about Majorov's butt.

He is gifted in many ways.

Good for you Majorov

I LOVE his SP this year. So.... Euro

 

[Hanna]

I LOVE his SP this year. So.... Euro

Yes! I'm actually a little disappointed that Majorov and Reynolds are the only ones trying to suck up to the Finnish crowd in Helsinki with Finnish music. I was expecting many more!

 

[Finnice]

Yes! I'm actually a little disappointed that Majorov and Reynolds are the only ones trying to suck up to the Finnish crowd in Helsinki with Finnish music. I was expecting many more!

Me too! Where is Apocalyptica or Nigthwish or Sibelius? Or Lordi?

 

[Loves_Shizuka]

OMG yes I want a Lordi programme

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6Xl9tBWt54

Then again, I'm long campaigning for more Eurovision in FS!

I so totally agree! Bring in the Eurotrash!

 

[Hanna]

Exactly!

 

[Ananas Astra]

Me too! Where is Apocalyptica or Nigthwish or Sibelius? Or Lordi?

As for me, I'd love to see an Elastinen or Matti Nykänen program. Just for the lulz.

Matti Nykänen program would be something... erm...
Back to Scandinavian skaters: put the name Gabriel Folkesson on your mind. There migth be some more Swedish voids a la Berntsson and Schultheiss in the years to come.

 

[Rock2]

Yes! I'm actually a little disappointed that Majorov and Reynolds are the only ones trying to suck up to the Finnish crowd in Helsinki with Finnish music. I was expecting many more!

Dead pop star to compete with....

Videos: SP, FS

Alexander says in a recent interview that his goal is to make the top 5 at Euros and top 10 at Worlds. I hope he stays healthy and achieves what he is aiming for

Alexander Majorov mentions his father Alexander senior in this article:

The pre-season and season introduction, however, been particular. Just like last year practicing Olympic skier - who in January also takes her degree in physiotherapy - without his coach and father, Alexander Majorov senior, at his side.

- But I get help now and then with jacking. He is a little more freely now, and less susceptible to infection than he was before - so he can stand aside sometimes and watch, says Lulea skier.

- But we have learned to take responsibility now, not just rely on one person. I have learned to decide what is good and bad.

That it means a big change is clear.

- Everything is a big change - everything changed course. My whole life has changed, says Alexander Majorov and adds about his father's illness:

- He is feeling much better than before, so far it looks good. But we are awaiting notification if he is declared healthy or not.
