[photo caption] Access denied. As Kiira Korpi is only 17 years old she can’t get into night clubs to dance, but she doesn’t regret that.
– You can dance anywhere and I prefer calm parties at home.
(continued)(English translation by Ville)
Power of will
Starting to skate was easy for the daughter of hockey coach Rauno Korpi because the family lives almost next to the ice-stadium. Kiira was only four when she followed her two years older big sister to the skating practises.
– Skating felt fun from the start and I got a lot friends from the club. If the practises were just playing at the beginning, even now the sport isn’t a profession to me, and I don’t want it to become just a chore. I want to keep the joy in skating. When you can keep the love and passion to what you are doing, the motivation is not lost and it carries you forward.
Of course sometimes there has been harder times. Kiira doesn’t think that her physique is ideal for a figure skater.
– First of all my height 166cm is unusually tall for a figure skater and I’m not very flexible either, but apparently I have some talents required in this sport. From a child I have had a strong will and temperament. With determination and willpower I have moved forward.
Sometimes the family was in trouble with this fierce little lady.
– I was a real enfant terrible and my mother says I sometimes had two hour tantrums. I won’t give up and I will properly finish everything I have started. I don’t quit if something doesn’t work out immediately.
Determination is needed when you get up 6.30 in the morning and get home at 7.30 in the evening. In figure skating all jumps are learned so that first you do the single-jumps for years and then you move on to the double-jumps and do those for years too. And several years will pass before one is ready to do a triple-triple-jump like Kiira did in the World Championships.
– It’s the greatest feeling in the world when you can succesfully do the jump. Nothing can beat that.
Triple-jumps need also courage.
– Earlier I was even a bit reckless. Even though I have calmed down, I am not afraid to take risks and I am always ready to try out new tricks. Just trying a triple-jump is a risk, but jumping and all kinds of games have always fascinated me. As a child I was always out playing all kinds of games. I wasn’t a tomboy but not a princess either.
The lovely skating dresses have never been an attraction for Kiira.
– My dresses have probably been even too modest sometimes.
A glimpse on the clock shows that it’s time to take a 20 minute nap before the evenings training session.
– When I have time I will take good nap. And I always sleep before competitions. When I am nervous I could sleep the whole day and other skaters say the same thing.
Now it’s time to practice the new short- and long-programs for next
seasons competitions.
– The music for short program is mexican and for the long program it’s from the musical Phantom of The Opera. Nothing comes automatically and you have to practice hard. Even if the basic structure is same than before, there’s new choreographies between the jumps and new difficult step sequences. And the spins need to be worked out too.
The aim is to be better in the WC- and EC-competitions than on last season, although the real targets properly discussed in fall.
– Last year the Olympic Games and World Championships were my aim from the beginning of the season, although we had to think whether it was junior or senior WC’s. Torino felt like big challenge and a leap forward, but we decided to try. It was good that the decision was made back then. After that I had a clear target which had time to mature during the season.
