Finland has now Poykio, Korpi and Lepisto, but they aren't that young. What will be after them, now that the promising Vahaama gave away skating?
Having watched Finnish Chapionships, we certainly do have a lot of promising juniors: Alisa Mikonsaari scored 133 and parts in the ladies' (she's 16), in juniors the top skaters are still very young. The champion Beata Papp skated in Novice last year but already has all triples apart from the lutz and lands even triple toe-triple toe combinationts frequently in practice (season's best 127 and parts) at only 14 years of age, Cecilia Törn has a similar jump layout and there are many more promising juniors. Also, all of them seem to have very good spins and spirals, so the future seems bright.
And Vähämaa has stated she is on a break so it is expected she will return. In what level, no one knows.
