Figure skating is ridiculously fun
Few 17 year olds live as strictly planned life as Kiira Korpi does. Apart from skating, there has to be enough time for school and also different sponsor-related events take their part. Despite the strict schedule, the girl is growing enthusiasm for skating and the tone is positive even when the subject changes to school. She sees that she hasn’t had to give up on very many important things because of the figure skating.
How did you become a figure skater?
– I started when I was four. Because of my fathers coaching job, we lived in Turku and my older sister Petra already skated. I begged so earnestly, so my mother decided to take me too to the practices. The next year, we lived in Austria. I did some skating over there too, but when we the following year moved to Tampere I kind of started over. And that’s the road I’m still travelling, Kiira says.
Do all your friends skate too?
– When I started skating in Tampere, I went to the practices with my neighbour and best friend Elli. At the moment I have close friends among the skaters of our club, and of course when travelling around the world I have made friends with foreign skaters, especially with competitors from other Nordic countries.
– On the other hand I have a lot of good friends at school. The best thing is that with them you can forget the skating and discuss other things. We do also chat about other topics with my skating friends, but still the figure skating is always in the background.
Did you have other important hobbies when you were young?
– I did gymnastics for a while, but I quit it before I had advanced so far that competitions would have stepped into the picture. Skating took so much time and it was so much fun that I didn’t even want to do anything else, Kiira says.

How much time skating currently takes from your life?
– More and more all the time. Now that I have moved to the senior level, apart from skating, time is consumed with different sponsor related negotiations and events, giving interviews and of course there’s a lot more travelling than before. This spring there were three big competions almost in a row.
What targets have you set for your skating career?
– The next Olympics are already in my mind and preparing for those kind of begun right after the previous one ended.
– But other than that, I have no exact plan. We are just going one season and one competition at a time and then see how it goes. On the other hand, you get more and more ambition all the time and of course I hope that I would be able to gain success in important international competitions.
And after competition career, are you thinking of becoming a pro?
– In this sport, the competition-career is rather short even if the average age has increased a bit over the last years. Previously it was so that someone took a couple of championships at the age of fifteen and then quit. Today most skaters peak around the ages from 20 to 25. This year in the Olympics, there was one thirty years old skater from Italy, but a career that long in skating is exceptionally long.
– Many skaters move to the professional ices after their competition careers, and I haven’t ruled it out for me either. I could possibly tour a year or two as a professional skater.
Have you already planned your life after skating?
– Then it’s definately time to concentrate on studies. I can’t say anyting more specific because the interests change with time and I’m interested in many things.
– I could picture myself doing something in the world of sports, but not necessarily with figure skating. If I travel around skating rinks for the next ten years, I believe thats enough for the skating scene. After that I should move on to something completely different, Kiira laughs.
Can you concentrate on school while skating?
– I’m currently doing my second year in highschool. It’s true that too little time is left for school at the moment. Then again, at highschool, I can make my own curriculum, and especially this spring when there was those three big competitions, I made my timetable as light as possible so that I was able to manage it properly. I’m satisfied that I was able pass five courses along with the competitions.
– On competition trips, I am not really able to study, but on free weekends, I try to catch up as much as I can. On modern subjects I can usually pass by just reading the books by myself, but with math I have needed some tutoring. I’m studying advanced math and you can’t learn it by just reading the books.
– Foreign languages have usually been easy to learn for me, and all the travelling for competitions has been a good way to develop my skills.
At least I feel that it’s the best and easiest way learn languages. Last summer, I spent six week in the United States, and there, English was the only way to communicate.
– Also in my junior years, when I was the only finn in the international competitions, I got to talk foreign languages with my fellow competitors. Sometimes I felt sad that there were no other finns there, but now afterwards it was a good thing for language learning and social skills. I had to make contact and meet new people when I didn’t want to spend
all the time with my coach, Kiira recalls.
Is there anything else in your life beside school and skating?
– There’s very little time for anything else, but atleast there’s some on weekends. Sunday is free of practice and on saturday the practice session is in forenoon. Then I have time to meet friends and just relax.
– When I have free time I also like to read, listen music, watch movies, surf on the net and chat via Messenger, Kiira lists.
Do you have any other hobbies than skating?
– Last fall I begun going to astanga-yoga, but I haven’t had much time for it, one time a week at max.

Do you ever feel that because of skating you are left out on something important that your other friends are able to do?
– Of course there are sometimes things I would like to participate, but I can’t because of the skating. When friends after school go out for a coffee, I usually have to hurry for my practices and I have to pass all events late in the evening because of my early morning practices.
What is the best thing this sport has given to you?
– It has given me so much. The topmost thing is the trip to the Olympic Games. It was unbelievably great to get there this early. The atmosphere in the Olympic village was unlike anything else. Particularly great was the feeling that you were a part of a big team, especially when skating usually is very lonesome and at younger age I often was the only finn in the competitions.
– Us skaters weren’t there in Torino from the beginning, but it was a completely different feeling of watching the games on television when you knew that you were going to be there shortly. And taking part in the ending seremony was a thrilling experience. It was so great to walk in to the stadium before the huge audience and to enjoy the feeling, Kiira says with trembling voice.
– I have never regretted that I have put so much into skating. It has always felt ridiculously fun. I have sometimes wondered myself that despite the occasional setbacks I have never felt like just throwing the skates in to a closet and quitting, Kiira wonders.
