Finland has not confirmed the team, but I found from their sites this:

I wonder if Janna wants to go, because it is just after Europeans, and the same about Andreas from Sweden. But both of them have possibility to win their disciplines, and Janna has already gold in novices and juniors, so this may motivate them.

Any skater from an ISU member nation can compete: on the Junior level (since 2020) and Senior level (since 2011).

Per announcement, Novice is still restricted to the Nordic countries.

Most likely I would think so. I do not think there is one common stream for Nordics, I think last year the Danish Federation had a stream, and the year before when it was in Norway it was streamed by the Norwegian skating union. I remember watching Reykjavik International competition last year and the stream was for free

They confirmed on Instagram that there will be skaters from more nations outside Nordics countries: Italy, Estonia, Chinese Taipai and Argentina!



I´m excited to see the final entries

Lots of FS next weekend but I probably cannot watch much this time, especially Saturday is full of other things to do. How about streams or archives, any knowledge?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

The result page is a bit weird now. It only shows advanced novice, and there is no starting order either. I think junior women SP is supposed to be tomorrow as well.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

There is a pay stream for Nordics now? That´s a shame...

They didn´t have it in recent years...

 

[norwegianfairytale]

For anyone that is interested. I bought a weekend ticket to watch the stream. You can rewind the stream on the go. Not sure it will be replays but I hope so!

 

[norwegianfairytale]

The result page is so and so, it´s not easy to keep up on the disciplines. Junior ladies SP group 1 in skating right now.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

This first group of junior ladies was a bit sad to watch

Babeth Hansson Ostergaard was really mad about how her skate went. It sounded like she said something like this on Danish "but I know I can do it!". The coaches struggled to comfort her, and when the scores came it sounded like she was cursing. She scored 37 points.

The Italian Anna Bodrone had a bad skate with two falls. The most sad part however was that her coach sounded really mad about her skating. I don´t understand Italian, so I could be wrong, but when the scores came she threw the jacket to the skater and got up from her chair really fast and leaving saying something in an angry voice. Tbh this coaching behavior looked scary.

Rosa Reponen had a nasty fall on her opening lutz combo. However she went into to the lead as the last skater in the first group with 49 points.

Next group is really interesting. There is Anna Flora, one of the Brovall sisters, and Iida Karhunen to mention some of them.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Anna Flora landed just landed 3T-3T! It looked like it might be a bit under. Her 2A was good too. She only did a 2Lo. 47 points into second place. She looked a bit unhappy with her score, maybe she was hoping for a new PB?

 

[norwegianfairytale]

Lotta Artimo, nice clean skate. Into 1.place with 53.16 points. She looked very happy
