2021 Cup of Austria: Women's Short Program

Great to see some promising skaters from Norway. Why we do not see more? Sonia Henje turns in her grave. Also from Denmark, Sweden. It is not enough financially supported in the countries with average salary around 3000-4000€?
It´s expensive and they have to go to school, and they are not allowed to train heavy at young age. Also 3000-4000 average a month may be before taxes. At least I had 2500 euros a month after taxes in my last job. I don´t think that´s a bad salary but it would not give much room for pay for someones figure skating. Mostly the parents who have kids who skate have better jobs though with higher salary. A lot of them don´t get support otherwise before they are considered elite skaters. So a lot quit skating before they get there. Also closed ice rink in the summer is a big problem. But they have a development project going on now with the goal of OG in 2026 :)

Unfortunately money is always a problem in this sport. But this project news is good to hear! I have always had a weakness for scandinavian skaters, don't ask me why but for me they always look the most "natural" on the ice.
