estonian olympic comitee confirms the team
Since you mentioned the 2 previous seasons I hope they told both girls at the beginning of the season that it was going to be Eva unless she got injured and in that way Nina won't be as devastated.I am sure it was not an easy decision for the Federation. And I do feel for Niina, I do.
But I can't help feeling happy for Eva-Lotta, she earned her spot on the basis of 2 previous seasons.
Go Eva-Lotta!
I understand that you are rooting for Niina and that you are disappointed. I wish Estonia had 2 spots and both could go. As it is the Fed had a tough decision to make and a more experienced skater was picked. I believe one of criteria in USA is a body of work is it not? So it is not so outrageous. Also, it is Eva-Lotta's good results at past Euros made it possible to send 2 skaters this year. And the fact that Niina who had a skate of her life in Tallinn was only two places higher than Eva-Lotta whose training was severely impacted by injury (boots related) speaks for itself.Since you mentioned the 2 previous seasons I hope they told both girls at the beginning of the season that it was going to be Eva unless she got injured and in that way Nina won't be as devastated.
Eva-Lotta Kiibus managed to present a free program at the Olympic debut!
