Lina Johansson: The road to Europeans starts
This is an article about Lina Johansson from today:
The road to Europeans stars:
Malmö. The russian coach Victor Kudriatsev couldn´t come at the last minute, Mishin wanted to but had other things booked. The coach who come was the french coach Pierre Trente.
For five days Pierre Trente coach Lina Johansson and the other skaters in the Swedish national team in Malmö. He has had good skaters such as Surya Bonaly.
- It is very nice to still have ice and be able to practise at home in Malmö, Lina says.
- I managed to do a 3flip+3toe combination yesterday. (!!!) It was the first time ever for me, so it feels very good right now, she continues.
- Trente is another type of coach than Kudriatsev but it is a good solution, Lina´s coach Ela Magnusson says.
On Thursday when the camp ends, Lina will change her skates.
That will be the start for the next season, and the first step against Europeans in Italy. That, if nothing ordinary happens, will be Lina Johansson´s first big championship as a senior.
- That is my goal and I hope that I will have the chance to go, Lina says. But I have minor goals also. I hope that I will be invited to some senior grand prix competitions also.
To the grand prix serie, the top six skaters from Worlds 2004 are qualified. The rest of the slot goes to special invited skaters and it is much politics around it.
- We hope that we will know something about it in May, Ela says.
Plan B will be junior grand prix, but that solution the don´t want.
The town usually takes down the ice in the beginning of April, but this year they will have ice the year out, so that Lina can practise at home. In may she is going to do a new long program. The music is chosen, but secret so far.
- It will be piano music, Ela says.
The choreographer Solome Brunner, who among others do the programs to Stephane Lambiel and Karolina Kostner, will together with Lina´s choreographer at home Hanna Gradevik do the program.
- We need at good choreographer at this standard, Ela says.
And if the new judging system will be used next season the composition of the program will be more important than before.
This summer she will like last year go to a camp in Switzerland for a month to take lessons from Viktor Kudriatsev.
LINAS SCHEDULE TOWARDS EUROPEANS IN JANUARY
April: Swedish national camp in Malmö 24-28
May: Practise in Malmö the whole month, a new free skating will
be created.
June: One week vacation at Cyprus, one week off-ice practise,
21th june - 9th july camp in Tyringe, sweden.
July: Practise in Flims, Switzerland for Viktor Kudriatsev
August: Practise in Malmö
September - December: Practise and a undecided number of c
competitions.
