i totally forgot about this!

So did I. I didn't even know it had been rescheduled.

I should have been paying more attention, as two of my now-retired daughters (one of whom is even in my avatar!) are ambassadors for this EYOF!

The figure skating competitions are on Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd.

Even Finland has not announced the entries but there is already time schedule (local time, UTC+2). It is pretty clear that there will be Olivia Lisko in girls and Arttu Juusola in boys, but not official announcement about it yet. According to the schedule SPs will be 23th March and FSs 24th. It is weird it is at same time with the FS Worlds. The girls' hockey games are played in Kajaani, ca 25 kms from Vuokatti and FS is in Vuokatti, so the question is not about it either.

I wonder if Finnish FS association has forgotten this, because it is not even mentioned in their competition calendar, or I didn't find it, but it is mentioned in their "value competition selection statistics".

As I understand, Dani Loonstra (NL) is going as well.

Thank you!!!

The EOC's website for the 2022 EYOF is absolutely useless, and I didn't know there was a separate event website from the organisers. So, I got the dates from Wikipedia. And I can only apologise that it has turned out to be wrong.

While looking around the website, I found the link for the YouTube channel that the straming will be on:

Thank you again for the correct dates, and for letting us know about the Finnish organisers' event website.

I found deadline, it has been 7th March, but I cannot find any information about athletes, not FS or anything else, not even Finland's team.

 

[norwegianfairytale]

If the deadline was 2 days ago, hopefully they will publish it soon, they should

This is one of those notorious competitions with the terrible update/info. This competition has always been like this

Audience allowed to all events and everything is free. https://eyof2022.fi/

Place is very familiar to me, I have lived in Kajaani, 30 minutes trip by car, about for 25 years. If the worlds weren't at same time, I would consider to go to see the kids while I have my holidays also and see some friends with my husband at the same time. The Vuokatti slopes were our "home slopes". Only the arena is quite small and I think there is not of seats for audience.

Do you know anything about who is representing Iceland? Aldis Kara - or is she too old? Maybe Julia Rós?

Seems like we have to continue for a little while finding the entries ourselves

Sweden is sending Josefin Brovall and Casper Johansson.

Interesting, I thought Italy would send Anna Pezzetta. But I checked now, seems like she one year too young.

A couple of words about Arttu Juusola from Finland. I found out he is 16 yo, born 2005 so 17 during this years but he came like from nowhere to national junior team for this season. Because I am a curious person I investigated a little who he is and found an article about him. He has lived in Malesia because of his father's job until he has been 9 yo and moved then back to Finland. He has started FS so late as a age of 10. In Malesia he has spend time by roller skating and swimming "because there was nothing else to do".
