The women’s competition was won by 17-year-old Iida Karhunen from Finland, who once again skated an almost flawless and expressive program, earning high scores and strong component points. With her young age, Iida is considered ‘one to watch,’ and she proved it again today with a total score of 193.16 points.
Norway secured a silver medal through Mia Risa Gomez, who recently had placed 14th at the European Championships in Sheffield. Mia was 4th after the short program, but today she placed 2nd with a flawless Free Skate, achieving a total of 167.22 points.
Bronze went to Finland’s Olivia Lisko, who had to move down a place after yesterday’s short program, but with a beautifully executed program, she achieved a total of 167.22 points and could take the bronze home to Finland.
It was especially gratifying to see Anita Ostlund from Sweden, who is back on the ice after a 7-year absence – and she skated her way to 4th place. Anita proved that with a love for the sport and hard work, it is possible to return to the top level.
