finlandia trophy 2019 - Blossom on Ice

Canada’s Roman Sadovsky has won two gold medals on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series and represented Canada at three World Junior Championships. Last week, he placed 3rd with 222.23 points at The 2019 Finlandia Trophy, which is the sixth in a series of ten events of the 2019-20 Figure Skating Challenger Series.

After the free skate, Roman commented on his performance.

Are you satisfied with your performance here in Finland?

I think yes and no. I was really happy with the short program, with a small mistake at the end. The long one went similarly, where the first half was really good, but the second half not so much. So I just hope that I can keep my training going.

Madison:

Yes, it’s been a fun weekend. We got to compete our programs again, and we’re very happy with how the free skate went today. It felt like a very good performance, very engaged with each other and the audience, so we’re very happy to put on a good skate and head to the Grand Prix soon.
