It is Finnish Iida Karhunen who now leads the competition with 64.69 points. Iida, who just placed 10th at Europeans, skated an almost flawless short program with a beautiful double axel, level-4 spins, and a high technical score in the components.

In a provisional 2nd place is Olivia Lisko, Finland, with 54.56 points after completing a flawless, graceful program with many GOE-points. Unfortunately, Olivia doesn’t get points for her double Lutz, as it becomes an invalid element, which is costly in points.

Sweden’s Josefin Taljegard, who placed 16th at Europeans, skated a powerful program, but unfortunately she got downgraded her triple flip and jump combination. The spins were all level 4 and, as always, she gets a high score in the components. Josefin is in 3rd place with 52.97 points.

The ladies’ Free Skate on Sunday could become really exciting. The competition starts at 11:15 AM.
