The 17th Finlandia Trophy will take place at Barona Areena in Espoo, from October 5 to 7 2012: entries are still not defined, but Kiira is on the official poster…
Finnish Cultural and Education Ministry granted a € 15000 award to Kiira:

Congratulations, Kiira!
Wooooow, and why they give to her that award? The poster looks very nice with her at the front =)
Don’t you understand finnish, chava?
You’ve to study… ;o)
woooooo… haha nooooo, I dont understand finnish my friend and the translator… I dont think it be correct at all =)
It was only a grant, chava, given for support.
Anyway, the last ISU Congress in Malaysia decided, among other things, the 10% score increase for jumps executed in the second half of SP: another meaningless decision taken by ISU, we’ll risk to see programs full of jumps in their end, with many more predictable mistakes… would it be a nice show?
As reported by official website of Finnish Figure Skating Association, at next Finlandia Trophy in Espoo (nice hearing “Finlandia”, it sounds italian… 🙂 ) there Kiira will perform both new SP and FS:

This will be the first Kiira’s competition, eight months after her last one.
This is the schedule for FT:
Saturday 06/10: 13.30 SP
Sunday 07/10 : 14.45 FS
Does anyone know if Taitoluistelu TV will broadcast the event outside Finland?

I’ so excited! I haven’t seen Kiira live skating since January 2010! Two years ago I wasn’t able to go to Finlandia trophy, last year Kiira skipped the competition. Unfortunately I can’t go there on Sunday but tomorrow… Go Kiira, be fantastic girl with a flaxen hair! 🙂
Just checked the SP results. Fantastic score, new PB for Kiira. Congratulations, Kiira and good luck for tomorrow!
Anna, you are the lucky one today. To be present at Finlandia Trophy and see such a strong performance by Kiira must be amazing.
Can’t wait for the video to be posted.
The performance was just fantastic! One of the best programmes of her I’ve ever seen. I had tears in my eyes from the first 3T-3T combination. She was amazing. 🙂
