Several free skates from Finnish test skates on this YT channel. Grateful to be able to watch them. Imo they look better than the scores tell.. problems with jumps, otherwise nice.

Matias Lindfors as Dracula was stunnig. He is the most likely the one to get the host GP spot, a pity I cannot go there. I have the meeting I already thought on that weekend, in Helsinki but it takes whole afternoon and on Thursday there is a concert where I want to go in my town. To be honest, I hope Matias will get also WC spot. He has potential to get the minimums, if it is the same as last season.

I agree, again a brilliant, creative and musical choreography by sister-Monica. Matias was very well prepared. Dracula looked like a polished program already.

As you will skip the GP, see you at Worlds then. I think you said you will come to Tampere.

Has Matias ever performed 3A? I agree the program looks great, if he only had little harder jump content...

No. He has been practising quads in a harness but I have not noticed those without harness not even at practice in any videos. But his triples are starting to be more consistent, so maybe some day. Hw grew a lot in a short time, so maybe he has got his final length and can now concentrate to more difficult jumps.

Yes, I have tickets already to all competition events. I booked hotel for competition days. though my son lives there, but there goes no bus at late night to his nearest bus stop - he lives outside of the tram line - and he probably is working as he works at distance mostly. As I would only be there on mornings it is better for him. Also because of I go to hotel second reason is I save money - The tickets are not the problem but the hotels are expensive. I will decide later if I will go to watch Thuesday practises.
