21 Matias LINDFORS FIN - His 3 sisters Monica, Viveca and Fanny were also skaters. He is 16yo and skates to Last Opera by Saint-Preux and says his hobby is acting - sounds promising. Nice spring on the 3LZ. He is quite the performer - very enjoyable and has a nice variety of skills well done. A new favorite.

Oh noooo. Poor Mattias!

Well he tried to save it, which always deserves a clap.

BTW I noticed there's a spectator here who has the flags of all the competing nations in plastic sleeves. Now that's dedication

Matias, I'm in love!! Adoption papers filed!!!!

Great musicality, and really good music too. Even that fall in the final pose is adorable

 

[EdgeCall]

Nicely done! I take the fall at the end as a choreographic part of a dramatic final.

Oh, Matias! It was going so well. And then at the very end

What a beautiful skater. But, that shouldn't be a surprise. Look how beautiful his sisters were on the ice. And Matias is definitely taking after them.

And I still reckon the whole family are clones!

Into 8th position.
