Here's hoping she does well at Europeans! Can't wait to see her awesome free skate

 

[ladyjane]

Really looking forward to it!

Josefin's post after the SP.

Lovely interview with Jackie Wong: https://www.instagram.com/rockerskating/tv/CY60qqVlsA_/?utm_medium=copy_link .

 

[DizzyFrenchie]

Congratulations for making it to Olympics!

 

[rollerblade]

Love her even more after Jackie's interview! Interesting that she's self isolating in her family's RV. I also think she should wear her wavy hair down for the Joker FS.

Just rewatched her SP in Beijing. Her performance was a real gem, and no doubt her FP would have been a real gem there as well. Most people watch figure skating only at the Olympics. They don't know what they missed out on.

I'm so sad we won't see her Joker program on Olympic ice.

Josefin has created a GoFundMe to support her skating career. She plans to continue next season and is aiming to compete at the 2023 World Championships in Japan.

Josefin has qualified for the free at Worlds!

This is a bit of a random question, but every video of Josefin's Joker FS I've found cuts off mid-program. Does anyone have a video of her entire FS?

I suppose she must be here? I can't see it but I hope you can.

An interview with Josefin.

https://anythinggoe.com/interviewjosefintaljegard/

A couple of excerpts from it that jumped out at me:

“Storytelling is a huge part of who I am. I like to go into characters and perform and that’s what makes me happy, and it’s also how I connect with the audience. If you jump you might hear them clap or something but if I do a really great step sequence I can see the audience and I can feel them in a different way.”

A couple of days after Europeans, Taljegård and her coaches were invited to a zoom meeting with someone from the Olympic Committee. “We were so nervous,” she recalled. “[Then] she was really casual, like, ‘so I’m just gonna say like, you’re going to the Olympics’ and I was like ‘What? Wait! Did you really say that?’ I started crying and I saw that my coaches were crying. Yeah, it was a very, very surreal moment.”

Looking at the future in skating, Taljegård aims to participate in the 2023 World Championships and away from the ice, Taljegård is currently studying screenwriting and has started an internship at Warner Bros in Sweden.

“I think it’s important to have something else on for me, it’s been really important to have something other than skating, because it makes me just more comfortable with skating, because it’s not the end of the world. I have something else I can do that makes me happy.”

I think this was the 3rd competition I have seen her live. She is on of the skaters I never get bored to watch.
