Kiira Korpi

[Barb]

We assume she will compete in Golden Spin of Zagreb in the beginning of December. She needs some ISU competition before EC and WC. She hasn't GP spots because she missed whole last season because of achilles injury.

Thank you

Any new news??

Another snippet in Ilta-Sanomat print version today. Kiira is currently in Germany preparing for Golden Spin.

 

[YesWay]

It seems she has been training in Oberstdorf

After so many recent retirements, there are few left now who can skate with her kind of lightness, grace and elegance... so I hpe everything goes well, and she competes successfully at Golden Spin of Zagreb - and beyond!

 

[AnnaTheMusician]

Kiira is on the entry list!

 

[Johar]

Good to hear she is going to be back.

Really pleased she is competing again at last.

I hope she does well, but really at this point... I just want her to stay fit, and ease back into competition slowly. Build up gradually - nationals... europeans... worlds...

 

[Meoima]

I wish her all the best!!!

Good luck to Kiira at Golden Spin! Competition starts soon...!

56.22 for her short program!

I think that's an outstanding achievement considering how long she's been out of competition.
Well done Kiira! :-D

I don't care where she finishes, I just hope she can do well in the free skate.

I think she has done well. Congrats Kiira! Good luck in the FS!

Kiira skates to Sibelius (Finnish composer) music (LP) today for the first time in a competition and today is Finland's independence day Dec. 6th. What would be better than that she said.

I love her LP dress, lovely colours and unique.

The dress is beautiful, i love it, but may be it looks so good because kiira has perfect figure

Good luck in the free skate

Very nice skate from Kiira today. :yay:

One of the rare skaters that I could watch all days and she doesn't have to jump at all. I love the Russian girls but seriously if they don't jump and do the big trick it will never be as elegant as this.
