Kiira Korpi withdraws

[Kati]

Juulia Turkkila will replace her at Worlds

Really? But if so, well, I feel sorry for Kiira. I really hoped to see her at this Worlds...

I don't think Korpii has recovered well from her injury
propects of 2 spots for Olympics will be uncertain with Rukiila

however this will be a boost for Ashley and Gracie who is almost certain to get a 3rd spot
Osmond will caapiralize this a sure lock in Top 5 with Canadian Bonus if she skates clean
Leonova might crack top 12

And this is the second consecutive year of missing Worlds for Kiira... what a shame! She was having such a good season...

 

[Ilvskating]

oh no! I wanted to see her this year!

Very sad. Hope she recovers well next season and skates in Sochi. I would love if she keeps her short program, its my favourite short of the ladies this year.

I wonder if Turkkila will earn even one spot; I think it more likely Korpi will have to skate at Nebelhorn. Provided her leg mends, she shouldn't have any trouble, of course

a pity as this was a good season for her and she had two programs that packaged her beautifully.

Sad for Kiira and for Finland team. Get healty, honey!
