We assume she will compete in Golden Spin of Zagreb in the beginning of December. She needs some ISU competition before EC and WC. She hasn't GP spots because she missed whole last season because of achilles injury.

Thank you

It seems she has been training in Oberstdorf

After so many recent retirements, there are few left now who can skate with her kind of lightness, grace and elegance... so I hpe everything goes well, and she competes successfully at Golden Spin of Zagreb - and beyond!

Really pleased she is competing again at last.

I hope she does well, but really at this point... I just want her to stay fit, and ease back into competition slowly. Build up gradually - nationals... europeans... worlds...

56.22 for her short program!

I think that's an outstanding achievement considering how long she's been out of competition.
Well done Kiira! :-D

I don't care where she finishes, I just hope she can do well in the free skate.

One of the rare skaters that I could watch all days and she doesn't have to jump at all. I love the Russian girls but seriously if they don't jump and do the big trick it will never be as elegant as this.
