May be a silly question... but are Joshi and Victoria related? Or is Helgesson just a very common name in Sweden (probably since there is also a Sara Helgesson)? I thought Joshi was cute at SA.

Joshi and Viktoria Helgesson are sisters. Joshi is about 5 years younger than Viktoria.
It seems both Adrian and Kristoff will go to the europeans, and probably there that the one going to the olympics will be decided. and very nice result for Majarov, hopefully he will do well at the world junior and be less disappointed at himself at his performance.
Adrian, Kristoffer and big sister V. Helgesson go to Europeans.
A sports director from the Swedish Olympic Committee(SOC), commented on Swedish TV that Kristoffer(27 years) has to show that he is "close to being a medalist" to gain an olympic spot. Europeans will be an important competition for him to prove that he is.
Adrian and Majorov are both in the SOC's talent program, expected to compete until olympics 2014. Majorov is likely out of Vancouver because of his third place at nationals. Adrian has a very good chance to go. I suppose Majorov goes to junior worlds.
I think Kristoffer has to score high and (probably)be a medalist in europeans to get a ticket to Vancouver. Adrian can do less and still make it to olympics. In the worst scenario, if K does not do well enough and A bombs, no one goes.(or will they send Majorov then?) My guess is that Adrian will be on the ice in Vancouver February 16, 2010.
The decision will be taken after Europeans by SOC and the Swedish figure skating association together.
