Quite a lot of Nordic and Low Countries skaters competing in the older age Advanced Novice Ladies.
Emilia Murdock's first competition for Spain
And Oliviia Bazlova's first
international competition representing Cyprus. She competed in the Cyprus Championships before the pandemic, but when she subsequently started competing internationally, she represented Estonia, the country her coach was based in (she was with Anna Levandi).
I don't actually know a lot about Oliviia. She might actually be from an Estonian family, but equally she might not. All I know is that she is a VERY good skater. She was a regular podium finisher in international competitions at Cubs level last season.
That said, whenever she did competitions in Latvia, she competed at a higher level than she did during the rest of the season. This will be her third time competing in the Volvo Open at Basic Novice level, and she comes in as the
Gold Medallist from the 48th edition in January (she didn't compete at the 49th edition in May. She was entered for a domestic competition in Italy that week, but withdrew).
Although the 48th Volvo Open streams have gone private, the streams from the Wolmar Spring Cup in April are still viewable. So, here she is in the Basic Novice FS there, which she also won:

Definitely a girl to keep an eye on for the future.
ALL THE BEST OLIVIIA!!!
