Yes, I'd love to invite the awesome Finns in here, but no, Scandinavia they are not. (They rock way too much, that's why they have their own thread!)
Did the swedish fed had any nomination cfiteria?
Algotsson scored quite well at euros, I am surprised she is not considered.
At last Euros Matilda was 31st and didn't qualify for FS.
In France she said that this season's international competitions will be taken into account, and she didn't do that well there either (she did quite bad actually, but I didn't check where Anita competed and what her results were). But she had very good performances at Nationals. Pity if she won't have any more competitions this season.
Camilla wasn't able to get the minimums for 2019 Worlds (she was less than 2 points from the FS minimum and her best short program of the season came after the deadline at the Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk, Russia where she was coached by her twin, Anne Line, and scored 28.23 TES, just short of the Worlds SP minimum of 29).Camilla is studying law, but is taking a break from school this season to focus entirely on figure skating. She says it's been hard to juggle those too, and she's looking forward to only have one focus. Her main goal is to make it to worlds in Japan. (Source is Camilla herself, she coached my adult group at summer camp, and she's coaching us off ice once a week this fall. Talk about inspiring!)
Swedish Nationals recap (includes link to results):After the National Championships in figure skating in Ulricehamn this weekend, the International Committee has appointed Anita Östlund, Nikolaj Majorov and Illya Solomin to compete for Sweden in the European Championships in Graz January 20-26. Anita and Nikolaj won Sunday's gold medal in the women's and men's classes in the Swedish Championship 2019 and Illya took home the silver.
Yes, not much surprise there. I hope this year we’ll send a lady to junior worlds again, as we have junior ladies better than our senior ladies at the moment.Sondre Oddvoll Bøe will be Norway's lone skater at 2020 Europeans:
