The ladies short program in Finlandia Trophy will take place on saturday at 15.00-17.05 Finnish time. There won't be any television broadcasts of the short programs, only highlights of the free skates on sunday after the event.
Kiira Korpi's settings for the season have not been the best possible. During the summer she suffered from the inflammation of the esophagus which prevented full training. Also the matriculation exams took her mind to other things, but those are now over.
– Now without school things I'm able to fully concentrate on training. Although my aim is on the spring championships I'm happy that there are so many good skaters from Finland. It seems incedible that we have developed so much in such a short time.
