The youngest skaters were on the ice on Thursday, where they performed their short

representing the five Nordic countries. Finland has clearly taken the lead with
runners in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Neila Andelin leads with 49.44 points;
Julia Vaha-Ruohola is in second place with 42.44 points, and Tuuli Manttari

first place with 38.15 points. In second place is Martin Nicolai Kuzin from
Denmark with 32.09 points, followed closely by Finnish Venni Pitko with 31.27
