Entries' link I posted here earlier is now included to opening post so I removed it to avoid double information.

No information about a stream yet. I´m wondering if they will have one. I´m maybe hoping this could be a sign that Danish Fed will maybe put up a free live stream? I think they had a free one last time it was held in Denmark, I know they have a YouTube page where they sometimes stream domestic competitions, so i´m having my fingers crossed that they aren´t jumping on the paid stream wagon.

Good news - looks like the livestream is free It was just updated on Sportity.

It will be streamed at Vimeo - at worst I think it requires maybe a (free) registration.

Livestream for Thursday

Looks Makar Suntsev has withdrawn. His name is on the entry list when I write this, but not on Finland's Fed's participants list any more.

I watched some novices when I came home from work. Nella Andelin looks like Nella Pelkonen, not just similar hair but also face. I think that's a girl to look for in the future.

I have busy weekend (culture) so I can watch only parts this time.

I watched a little too while I worked, and I had the same thought about them looking the same, besides sharing the same name. She looked powerful and had nice jumps!

Livestream Friday

Advanced Novice women/men and junior men.

Wow 5 junior men from Finland!

I wonder why Matias Lindfors has chosen to compete in juniors. Selection criterias: Skaters are selected for the PM competitions according to their Season best scores for the season in the series in which they have competed in the Finnish Championship. The exception is junior-aged skaters who have SBs in both the junior and senior series. They may apply for either series based on their SBs in the respective series.

Lo Kårfors is a delightful skater. She's a student at The Royal Swedish Ballet School. So that explains her beautiful arms and performance quality.

Another fun fact that Anita Östlund is one of her coaches.

Swedish ladies have been underwhelming lately with no one close to challenging Josefin. It's nice to see some new talent. I also hope Alexandra Ödman and Lilly Almgren-Lidman can return to form (Lilly had a knee injury and Alexandra looking miserable all season ). They are still young with potential.

Yes she really caught my eye! And 3rd place

Alexandra maybe has a growth spurt? Or just not into it. I remember she had a tribute to her grandfather?-program in jgp.

Ranking point before JWC is my best guess. The junior ranking is separated from the senior ranking, except junior points will also count towards the senior rankings, but not the other way around. In the last JWC Mia competed in, she skated in the first warm up group, despite having a couple of points on the senior ranking and skating in later groups both at Euros and WC.

Yeah I really enjoyed Lo! It´s very clearly she has influence from Ballett School. There was also a junior women skater yesterday that caught my eye, she had a really interesting program and balletic moves. I think she was a Finnish skater skating in the last warm group.

Edit: I think it was the last skater, Saaga Volkova!

Is this charismatic boy Rahul from Australia living next door.?.. or has he traveled that far to compete at Nordics?

They referee should have stopped the skate, I mean he also took a flip before he hit his head his neck could be seriously injured by this. Yikes, that was really scary. I hope he is doing ok..

Jumps are hard... and spins... and skating... I admire these guys working hard for what they love to do
