Team Cyprus

[Harriet]

Wasn't sure where else to link this, but I thought if I put it here people who follow Team Cyprus will be sure to see it: a few days ago polymnia_skate on Instagram, who's a skating photographer, published this lovely picture of Giorgia Isabella Sechi in her elegant green frock at JGP Courchevel last year. Nice to see her getting some attention!

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

I miss her.

But, some good news. We have Cypriot representation at the upcoming Challenger Event, the Budapest Trophy! Two girls who have come up through the American system, Marilena KITROMILIS and Emilea ZINGAS.

I will add posts about them to the start of this thread once I have worked out the best way to do the tables in XenForo. But, in the meantime, here are the basics to get us started:

Today was a momentous day for Marilena Kitromilis. Not only did she compete in her first Senior competition, her first international competition, and her first competition representing her ancestral homeland; but it was also her 16th birthday!!!

ΧΡΟΝΙΑ ΠΟΛΛΑ ΜΑΡΙΛΕΝΑ!!!



As for the skating, she finished 14th out of 14 in the SP, with a score of 33.10.

Watching her for the first time, her inexperience showed. But, you could also see that she has promise. So, with a bit more experience at these higher levels, she should improve.

She may be sitting in last position, but I thought she did a great job! Especially when you consider that she was competing at NOVICE level last season!

Meanwhile, Emilea Zingas finished 7th out of 14 in the SP, with a score of 46.86.

Like with Marilena, this was my first time watching Emilea. And I was so impressed with her! I think what I wrote in the thread at the time pretty much says all that needs to be said:

Wow!!!

I knew she would be good from looking at her past results in America, but I didn't expect her to be quite THAT good.

This girl is going to make Cyprus a contender. So glad she decided to switch to her ancestral homeland.

Just a pity about the touch-down on the jump towards the end.

One of our Croatian members noticed something significant about Emilea's scores:

Zingas got very close to the TES score (for the Europeans)!

Let's hope she makes it in time.

I hope so too! It would be great to see Cyprus represented at a Senior Major for the first time.

The Budapest Trophy is one of those logical competitions that has the FS starting order as a straight countdown of the SP results. Consequently, Marilena will be kicking off the Senior Ladies FS, while Emilea will be starting 7 from the end. I can't tell you any more, because the Entries / Results page is up the creek at the moment. It has a Warm-Up in between EVERY skater!

EDIT: The page has now been fixed, and Emilea will be the 8th skater to start. So, 5th skater in Group 2 (and penultimate skater before the resurfacing).​

But what I can say is that the Senior Ladies FS is due to start on Saturday 17th October at 16:31 CEST (15:31 BST / 17:31 EEST).

ALL THE BEST GIRLS!!!
