SP 2013/2014

UPDATE: No confirmation yet. Just rumors.

According to Aamulehti,

the music chosen by Kiira for her new SP will be “Imaginaerum”, by Nightwish: probably, the best Finnish band ever.
The performance will be choreographed by Jeffrey Buttle.

SP

Kiira will skip even Worlds!

Today, the Finnish Figure Skating Association announced that Kiira won’t take part at next Worlds in Canada:

It seems that same, previous problems experienced at foot still aren’t solved, so she prefers to aim for next year’s Olympics. Her place will be taken by Juulia Turkkila.

Kiira will skip European Championships!

Due to an infection in left leg’s achilles after Christmas, Kiira is still not able to skate, and have not been able to skate for 2½ weeks. The infection is already healing, but she and her coaches have already made the decision not to take part in the Europeans. It would not be wise to skate there without no practice at all. Now it is best to concentrate on treatment and physiotherapy, and the target is already the Worlds next March in Canada.

Her place in the Europeans this year will be taken by Alisa Mikonsaari. Finland’s another skater for ladies is Juulia Turkkila.

An easy victory, but not a great performance: Flip, Lutz, even Toeloop didn’t work as expected…

[Nationals] A very good SP
