20 February 2019 - "Let's meet: Viveca Lindfors (FIN)" by ISU - https://isu.org/figure-skating/news...t-s-meet-viveca-lindfors-fin?templateParam=15

 

[pohatta]

Viveca is a serious young lady. Her coach is Virpi Horttana, who also coached Laura Lepistö. She's already a better jumper than no-3F Laura and more flexible, so I see great things waiting for her. She's the only skater I can see bringing two spots for Finland in Helsinki 2017 Worlds.

 

[tulosai]

Good luck to Viveca tomorrow at the Tallinn Trophy! I am very excited to see her again!

ETA: And by tomorrow I actually mean November 18... I totally missed that there is a few weeks break in the series now

 

[YesWay]

Here's a few photos of Viveca that I took at the last Finlandia Trophy. Only just got around to uploading them.

Not long til the European Championships, I hope she does well there.

I hope that too since Kiira has gone off from competition ice.
My hope for finland is Viveca.
I did see her skating at Finlandia trophy and she was pretty good there.
So i keep my thumbs up for Viveca :2thumbs::2thumbs:

 

[tulosai]

I hope Viveca will do well at Euros tomorrow! I am so excited to see her there!

 

[Vili67]

Im waiting for tomorrow LP Viveca takes one place up and Finland has 2 skater next year.
Hope she do that.

I would also LOVE to see Finland with two spots!!

 

[Shayuki]

While Viveca doesn't have the most technically challenging program(lacking a triple, only 6), it's still a pretty good FS and she does have every triple and repeats the lutz. This is much better than the majority of her competitors if she can skate it somewhat clean. I'd estimate that in the best case scenario, she can jump up 3 spots and take 8th. Top 10 she should be able to achieve if she does a decent skate, a bit better than at Finnish nationals should do.

 

[Vili67]

Nice for Viveca takes few place up.
So happy for her

 

[Shayuki]

Hey, I estimated that she could be 8th. Am I psychic?

 

[tulosai]

I am also so happy- bth for her and about Finland having two spots next year

 

[YesWay]

I am also so happy- bth for her and about Finland having two spots next year

Yes, great result for her and for Finland... and it's her birthday the day after! Congraulations on all counts!

 

[LRK]

If you are going to cheer for Finland you should learn to say: "Heja Suomi!"

Meanwhile, I liked what I saw of Viveca, and I think she has a bright future ahead of her.

ETA - It's funny that she has the same name as the Swedish actress:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viveca_Lindfors

Were her parents fans, or is it pure happenstance?

A little correction: "Heja Suomi" is wrong, because "Heja" is Swedish. If you want to cheer for Finland, you should learn to say: "Hyvä Suomi!" That's Finnish!

 

[LRK]

Ah, thanks for the correction. I've always said "Heja Suomi", but then it's probably the result of being born & bred in Sweden, and having a Finnish mother. Things have got a bit mixed, I suppose.

 

[cathlen]

Good luck, Viveca!

 

[tulosai]

Good luck, Viveca!

I am so excited to see her here!!

 

[The Finn]

That was a disaster. She didn't event make it to the FS. Never saw that one coming.
