Press Release 14042021 The dates of the Finlandia Trophy Espoo and Marie Lundmark Trophy competitions have been confirmed The figure skating Challenger series competition Finlandia Trophy Espoo and the synchronized skating Challenger series Marie Lundmark Trophy will be held in Finland next season. The 2020 Finlandia Trophy and the 2021 Marie Lundmark Trophy competitions were canceled due to the corona pandemic. "It is great for the Finnish figure skating family that the International Skating Union ISU appreciates the Finland as event organizer," rejoices Outi Wuorenheimo, Executive Director of the Finnish Figure Skating Association. The 25th Finlandia Trophy will be held from 8th to 10th October on 2021 at Metro Arena, Espoo. This year, the competition is likely to be teeming with championship medalists as the world’s top skaters are expected to start the Olympic season. All categories of figure skating are included: single skating, pair skating, ice dancing and synchronized skating. In addition to the traditional figure skating categories, Special Olympics athletes with developmental disability or a developmental or learning disorder close to it, are invited. The Marie Lundmark Trophy will be held at the Gatorade Center, Turku, from January 21st to 23rd, 2022. The competition, which is being organized for the first time, has been named after the sport influencer Marie Lundmark, who is working resolutely for Finnish and international figure skating. One of Lundmark's goals for synchronized skating is to reach Olympic eligibility. Finnish teams are the world's elite, as Finland is the most successful country with nine world titles. “We will work hard to ensure that our domestic teams will have their fellow competitors from around the world in our competition,” says Wuorenheimo. Finlandia Trophy ticket sales will start in June. Event sites https://www.finlandiatrophy.com/fi/ https://www.marielundmarktrophy.com .
