I've only just discovered Nina Pinzarrone now, what a lovely skater! :clap:
She won the juniors in Sofia Trophy with 186.90 points, will she be senior eligible next season?

Wow! That was a great competition. Who is Nina? Where did she come from? Her and Kimmy are two great talents to come out from the rest of Europe. I’m now rooting for Loena even more to breakthrough with a top ten spot at Worlds so that Nina can get a spot if she is eligible for the Olympics next year. Belgium is really stepping it up.

Loena will put some pressure on Liza (?), Karen, the third Japanese skater (sorry, I don't know if the selection was made), and Korean skaters. She has chances to get in the final FP group. With that US and Korea's chances for 3 Olympic spots are not that bright.
The third is Satoko and Liza can outscore below a 205 WITH mistakes. Liza's around 220+.

Very excited for the European ladies next season! The most talented 3 non-russians are very obvious: Loena, Eva-Lotta, and now, Olga. 😃 🙂 😄
Nicole, Alexandra Feigin, Lara Naki Gutmann, and others are nice, and talented, don't get me wrong, but there's something about the 1st three that I believe will get much higher marks all around.

Sad for Nicole Paganini, BTW. She looks strong, but those were her second Worlds in a row where she bombed her SP. :(

Italian skater had an hard time with all the covid restrictions, some of them also lost family memebers. Lara is usually better than this (she has all her triples but the axel), but she was also recovering from an injury

Anyone notice that besides their low technical content, Jenni Saarinen and Lindsay Van Zundert have really good technique and nice-looking big jumps? BTW, did loena's current coach teach her her jump technique or did she visit a specialist?

Didn't know Emmi Peltonen did vlogs. This appears to be the fourth one. She's in California now, healing from injury, starting training for the big season ahead. Her boyfriend Eero Markkanen, who just signed up to Orange County football (soccer) team, is also there.

One of Loena's coaches (Carine Herrygers) taught her that - and Carine also taught Jorik. Now both Carine and Jorik are teaching this technique to Loena. As well as to Lindsay who trains with Loena. Though Lindsay didn't join the team until late last year (October 2020) she already is showing better technique than before (in my view, that is).

Júlia Láng gave an interview (in hungarian) about her current 3 week training in Khrustalnyi:

Summary (by the google translate):
Júlia will get at least SP from Daniil for the next season.
Trainings in Khrustalnyi are very intense (after about first half an hour she's tired as at home after the whole training), but also independent and many depends on the skater.
She trains with the younger group led by Pakhiluk and Punin.
So far she didn't have much opportunity to meet Eteri/Sergei and the main stars because of the tour and WTT, but the last training (before the interview) was already led by Eteri. Júlia also had a chance to play a football as a warm-up with Daria Usacheva (with a tennis ball :biggrin:).
Whether she would eventually return to TT in the future or stay longer will depend on how this will work out.
